This evening at work I saw a kitten outside our door. I thought I'd see if it was friendly and maybe take it inside so it didn't get hit by a car (I work on a very busy highway) I went up to the kitten and it didn't run away so I thought I'd pick it up (stupid me) anyway it's freaked out and bit/scratched my hand. Should I be concerned? It was only a tiny cut, but it broke the skin. I washed it out and put disinfectant on it. I just felt so bad for the poor thing. It was shaking. And later I saw it's mother come back and it ran over and started to rub against her like crazy. The mother left again after a few minutes and the poor kitten sat there a cried so loud for the longest time. I just felt sooooo sad for it! I gave it some water and a little food. I e-mailed the Humane Society so hopefully they will do something....
Should I be worried about my hand? Would I need a shot for that? The cats weren't skinny at all...would feral cats skinny??
Also, what would the Humane Society do with them? would they leave them, or take them and put them to sleep because they're not friendly??? The poor little things....I wanted SOO badly to pick the sweet kitten up and cuddle it so it wouldn't be cold or lonely...it's a cold rainy night too.. :(
