New Feral Barn kitten - I need advice.

She is adorable how could you say no?? She is going to be a gorgeous adult. Good Luck

congrats (or is that con-cats?)

Sounds as if things are going well. I advise touching her as she will tolerate with your hand. My guys over the years have been shy of gloves or being confined in cloth.... so if you don't mind risking a scratch, I think actual contact will be easier to tolerate.

I wish I was in a position to take in the mom...Her face looks like my cat from childhood named Sooty. As you are in WI it is possible she is remote kitty-kin f my old girl.....

But ten cats, two dogs, a bunny, a cockatoo, and two 'keets are all I can afford. (Actually more than I can afford!)

Enjoy that darling baby.

Picture! This is where she is camped out. I have been able to hold her for short periods and she isn't struggling, and she was purring when I was petting her in the litterbox. She still gives me some good hisses too.

I noticed that when I let Hanna and Abby a brief peek she meowed at them (that was also the first time I heard her purr). I feel so bad because I bet she is really missing her mom and the other barn cats.



Sorry about the flash eye glare. All the photos I have of her right now are basically this lovely litterbox pose.

The barn owner thinks she may have been born around Halloween and is just a very small cat. She is small - that isn't a full sized litterbox, just a little pan.

Aw, poor baby looks so scared. I know with tie and patience she'll be looking happy and loving the indoor life.

She is absolutely pretty!

Congrats on your new addition. She's adorable. Since she's so young, I'm sure that she'll become tamer and friendlier in time. I bet she'll also love your other cats.

That little baby will be eating out of your hand in no time.

Did you name her? (did I miss it?)

[boscibo]

No name yet - I am thinking about Claire, Chloe, or Emma, but Jeff doesn't think Claire suits her. It always takes me some time to name cats.

She ate some canned food and the Whiskas Temptations this AM. She hasn't used the litterbox yet, except to hide in. I am hoping to get a fecal sample to take in to the vet's - I am almost certain she has worms, judging by the round belly.

kansas was a tiny bit wild, her siblings and her lived out in the wild for a little bit after mommy cat died and until they found their way home they were out on their own... she is a smashing kitten, the only thing that makes you think is that she doesnt like being being held, she struggles, btu we're workign on her.

That face is just too precious! She is a beauty.

What an absolutely BEAUTIFUL girl she is!!! I'm glad she's progressing so well. Like Jen said, she'll be eating out of your hand in no time, if she hasn't already.

How about the name Zara???
