Thank you for the online resources, Queen S., I'll check them out later this week when I'm not so frantically busy. The more I watch her, though it's only been 24 hours so far, the more I am convinced that she does have CH or something similar. She enjoys playing, and tonight had a wonderful time with some very light plastic balls which is easier on her than trying to gallop around with her brothers. I'll put some lined box lids in the corners of the room before I go to bed tonight since I think she is the one having litter box problems.

I came home to find the others in the climber, even the black male who is almost as small as she is, but the special girl was curled up on a corner of the blanket under the chair by herself. How glad I was that I'd splurged on a round, well padded and fleecy cat bed for her - though I really, really couldn't afford the $40. I put it at the base of the climber and hoped for the best. Half-an-hour later, I put my head round the door and she was curled up in it fast asleep.

I also bought them Royal Cannin feline baby diet which is tiny and much better for them than the Iams, and canned kitten food so that I can be sure she eats enough at every meal.

I've avoided calling the shelter. The kitten is healthy and eating well, and there is nothing they can do for her. Hopefully, they will let me keep her past the two weeks, not for me to adopt her but to build her up a bit. If I can find someone online, through Queen S's contacts, who wants her, then I can present that information to the shelter.
