New Feral Barn kitten - I need advice.

[catnapper]

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.

sounds like things are going well. when she has an ok from the vet, if your cats are welcoming (and they often are more tolerant of kittens) she might warm up faster with them as companions, seeing them with you and learning the rules of her new colony/family.

what a beauty!

Such a little beauty! Poor little girl, she is probably scared. She'll calm down eventually; a little patience and loving is all that's needed.

What a little darling!

Oh, how BEAUTIFUL she is! Her colours make me think of autumn in Eastern Canada/USA, with the maple trees.

Maybe that would be a name? Autumn? Maple? Sugar Maple(because she is sweet!)?

She will be great when she realizes she has a whole new family. Too bad you can't get the mom - but little one will be okay. She is letting you pet her already...that is awesome!
