Helping another little one in need. "UPDATE" in post #29

[rg_girlca]

Even though I decided to take a break from rescuing for a while, I just couldn't resist what my neighbour brought to me.
She was at a funeral home today, standing outside, talking to some people when she noticed a boy of about 17 years old, put a cat carrier down on the sidewalk and then walk away. She went over and there was a widdle kitty inside. She waited around to see if the boy would come back and of course he didn't. She knew I was into rescuing, so she brought this little one to me as she is allergic to cats.
The kitty is a little black & white girl and even though very tiny, is about 7-8 weeks old because her eyes have started to change color.

Here are a few pictures of her.

What the heck is that????


So it's back to trying to find a home for yet another little one.

I can't see the photos right now, but thank you so much for helping the widdle one!

Lorraine, she's adorable and now she's in great hands. I'm sure that she'll be loved by all of your other furkids too. Good luck with finding her a new loving forever home.

She's beautiful, and I'm sure she'll find a good home lickety-split with you as her advocate!

What a darling! And so very nervous. It's wonderful she ended up with you to help her along right now.

What a darling little girl! I hope she settles down soon and eats ok. Has she purred yet?

Although I don't approve of what the boy did, he at least put her in a carrier, fairly close to a crowd of people, so that someone might notice her.

gentle tummy rubs to that little sweetie.

Oh, what a dumpling darling baby kitty! Bless you for helping her!

Well Kitty Girl was a good widdle kitty for the vet. I was wrong with her age. The vet said she is closer to 6 weeks old. No wonder she is so small and weighs in at 1.5 lbs. She has a bad case of ear mites, which will be treated with ear drops and has diarrhea, which will be treated with a paste that looks like Nutri-Cal. She gets 1/2 inch of it morning and night. No fever, which is good. Checked her eye and said he doesn't see anything. He figures she just got some dirt in it. I'm to call back tomorrow to get the results of her stool sample.

She goes back in 10 days for her vaccinations because they have to be 2 lbs. or more to get their first vaccinations.

So all in all she's doing good.

Here are some more pictures of her. I wanted to show you her colors on her sides.


Isn't she sweet.


That's all for now folks.

lorraine...she is such a darling little girl.I feel bad that you'll need to foot the bill because of this guy...but at least she's safe,with the best carer.

is there any way to find someone to help finding a home for her?

i know around here...if i brought in a kitten to our nearest humane society,or shelter...the kitten would have a home in days...everyone is looking for kittens,sadley not adults.


this is not something you expected and money has been tight.
for everyone,but this is another expense you didn't expect.
thank you for taking her and also bringing her to the vet.
thanks again for having such a big heart.

i hope you can find a home for her before it's time to have her fixed.
i can pitch in if you end up with all the expenses...it's too much money
to do yourself.i know it's been tough.
your so good to not think about anything else but bringing her to the vet.

What a lucky little girl she is! Amazing how these little ones just seem to gravitate towards YOU!

Bless you for taking her in; poor little thing must have been starving. She is gorgeous!

What a sweet, caring friend you are Carla. I am very touched by your offer, but it's not needed. I have an Emergency Cat fund, which I put part of my pay in weekly for times like this. So no need to worry. But thank you my dear, I truely appreciate it. Also my vet is a sweetie and gives me a nice discount on my rescues.
I will be calling a few rescue shelters that I have contacted before in hopes they can help me again to find a home for her and our Humane Society is a kill shelter, so won't be going there as they apparently are so full right now.
