When my mom got Turner he was only about 4 weeks old!! Someone had the kittens out in front of a store giving them away. We were so worried after she had him and the amount of care he still needed... Someone who dont know any better that got the others, he couldnt eat on his own yet or anything. He didnt seem to know how to attempt to eat yet. After several days of syringe feeding he started lapping up soft food. His ears still were soft and almost a bit tipped he was so young. Ugh people are stupid!! But now he is a BIG happy boy all grown up.
