Another dumped kitten.

[Hurr1cane]

This time they found the box as well. Last time it was 4 of them and mine adopted them so they thought they were hers and I took them in. This time they've realised someone must be dumping them. Only one found. Exactly the same age as the other ones when they were found and looks exactly the same

I've taken it in for now but I can't keep it on indefinitely because my 4 have a delicate balance as it is.

Why do people do that

Sorry, I'm being rubbish and slow! Whats going on? Someone's dumping kittens near you?? Bastards!

Because they are bastards. I hope there's a special place in hell for them.

Yup. Last time there was 4 and my cat sort of adopted them so I thought that neutering had somehow gone wrong and took her back to the vets but they weren't hers and weren't being fed (very skinny)

This time it's just one. Looks exactly the same as the last ones, very skinny, only about 5 weeks old. Ill need to go out for kitten milk and bottles tomorrow even though I'm skint because I can't just leave it.

Then I'll have to nurse it to health and find it a new home. Because I have loads of time to do that with a disabled child and 4 rescue cats of my own.

Dicks.

If I get a photo when DS is sorted do you think one of you would be able to age it?

Where do you live? I'd love to help

Yes, where are you? If you're in the NE I would love to help, also.

Oh and I found Olive at 4 weeks so if you post a photo I will happily compare...

I'm in NW

Kitten

Oh she's BEAUTIFUL.I cant work out her size from the pic... here's a pic of Olive, maybe you can compare. She was 4 weeks in this one.

Oh and I've found that at age 4 weeks their walking is that kind of uncoordinated stagger, while at 5-6 weeks it becomes a lot smoother and they start to run and skip...

I'm furious. It's so scared the poor thing, I think it is more used to people than the previous lot though. It's buried it's head in my arm pit and is shaking

I hope it can eat cat food. Otherwise it'll just have to go the night without.

It's the spitting image of the other 4 as well.

5 months apart, about right.

She looks smaller .

Hang on I'll try to get a photo of her next to something.

Pack of baby wipes

But maybe just underfed?

Hand

I so wish I could help but nowhere near you, OP.

Could be underfed she's very skinny poor lamb :( she's filthy as well. Covered in her own wee.

Right. I think she's 4 weeks. Can you mush up some cat food finely with some warm water? I did this forOlive and although she couldnt fully eat the chunks, she sucked the warm juice up.

I did have to syringe her some kitty milk as I was concerned she want getting enough fluid....I can post the mini syringe if you like? (Pinched it from school!)

Thanks so much. I had a little syringe from when I hand fed the others (they were 3/4 weeks as well :( I'll see if I still have them or if I've chucked them (I used to be a bad hoarder so I make sure I chuck everything I don't use now)

She's in the bathroom now (only room I can separate off for her from the other cats) with a dome cat bed and some food, water and litter.

I want to name her while she's here. I'm having a think.

I'm NW op (on the fylde coast) I also have experience hand rearing kittens so if you are anywhere near me I can help , I don't have transport though

Is that up in Blackpool? That's about an hour and a half on the motorway from me I think, and I can't drive on motorways :( I have hand reared before with the other 4. But I can't keep this one on.

But I think I used up my contacts rehoming 3 of the 4 kittens from last time (kept one, fell for her)

Gutted I can take her for you, but do let me know if you need any tiny syringes.
