My family took in a little bottle baby today. She was found stuck in some plant where her mother was unable to retrieve her and by all appearances was abandoned. She's a tiny thing weighing just 5.2 ounces. I estimate her age to be between 8-10 days as her eyes are still closed.
She's living in a bucket in my bathroom for now. She has a fuzzy stuffed animal for company and warmth from a SnuggleSafe disc. She has been eating well and has already had a bowel movement. I have combed her over and taken off nearly 10 fleas! I think she is a torbie/orange patched tabby (like my Nipo!) and consequently female. She also has two kinks in her tiny tail! Her nose is splashed with black and her back feet will probably have white socks on them.
She'll go into the vet later this week...I want to worm her once she opens her eyes (or when she is about 2 weeks). Wish me luck! I haven't had a bottle baby in ages!!
I got a few *adorable* pictures once I finally relearned how to turn on my macro setting.....
Remember....you have been warned!

Home sweet bucket
Oh the CUTE! I will add more pictures to this thread as she grows!
