Sorry but that is how I feel!
    I agree! He is a cutie!

    Soni was a stray and we decided we were keeping him the day we found him. He ate mashed up, wet, diet dog food that not even a dog would eat! We took him to the vet the next day. He was between four and six weeks old. He had infected, abcessing, puncture wounds in his side (we found the night before) and were reminded of how to clean them out. Extremely filthy, covered in fleas, and without a meow (feels like he has damage in his neck).

    That shouldn't have happened to him. If he was born from a stray then he is MY Soni boy and nobody can say otherwise. The story of the person who tried to come into MY house and tell me that Soni was HIS cat was just *slightly* more than laughable, especially since by the age (between 4 and 4 1/2 months) Soni was, we'd had him longer than that guy could have even BEFORE we'd had him.

    Do not let go of this boy so easily! He definitely needs you.

    I think you did an AWESOME thing by saving him. Like others said, just make a call to shelters, watch the "lost & found" section in the paper and look out for fliers on the route to the store. If he is owned, then they will LOOK for him if they love him.

    OTHERWISE< CONGRATS ON YOUR NEW BABY! You did nothing wrong. Thank you for helping him. *HUGS* from this "cat liberator" lol


    Thank you so much Michelle!

    Please be responsible, spay and neuter your pets!


    I've been BOO'd!!! Thanks Lori!

    Gee, he looks very alert and happy!

    Don't have to tell you, if people have a cat who has a litter, and they can't place the kittens, sometimes they just dump them and hope someone finds the little one.

    God put you and Loki in the same spot at the same time for a reason!

    Remember to get him in to the vet for testing, and then shots and so forth. but the testing is important; before you get too attached and then learn of any problems. Best wishes, Loki!!!

    It is still early yet, but as soon as they open I will be contacting the Humane Society, to see if anyone has Lost a kitten. I will also check the Newspaper. I will wait two days, then the kitten will be going to the Vets for a check up and shots.

    Loki is quite the character, he is very outgoing and playful. He does however, alert to any noise! He will just freeze if there is a strange noise at all. Occassionaly he will run and hide, but he has been out and about 90% of the time he has been here. His fleas are worse than I thought, I checked him over last night throughly, and they are everywhere. So what is the best course of action for a 8-10 week old kitten with fleas? I know I cannot use advantage or anything yet. So do I wash him? He must be uncomfortable, with so many scurrying around on his tiny body!
    Maggie,

    Vet visit! ASAP. Don't wait 2 days! Once those fleas get into your home and on your dog, you have a MAJOR issue!!

    Call your vet, NOW, or as soon as they open. They open at 7 AM for drop offs for surgery that day? Then call at 7 AM. Explain, and see how fast they can get you in there! And also, they will know what you can give to a kitten of such an age. Don't wait, it will cost you a LOT more, in money, time, and itchiness!

    Well I have contacted the Human Society, and they have had no reports so far of anyone missing a kitten. Thye have my info, and will contact me if they hear anything. I have also contacted my vet, and the earliest I can get the Kitten in is tomarrow morning. The vet suggested to give the kitten a bath with a tear free shampoo, to help with the fleas until then. Loki Is doing fabulous, and is a very curious boy. I was able to get some better pics of my little ham this morning! So here they are!

    I agree that a vet visit should be done right now. Fleas are nothing to mess with, especially when the vet can help.

    I would have picked him up. too. I doubt that anyone is 'missing' a kitten. Can't hurt to call the Humane Society, but don't expect any responses.

    Loki sounds like a real confident little guy. Hope we get to watch him grow up.

    The Humane Society pretty much said the same thing when I called. They told me not to expect any calls, and If i needed to I could bring him in. Well he definitely has a home here, we are not looking to place him anywhere. He will be going to our vet tomarrow, first thing in the morning. Hopefully everything is okay, and he gets a clean bill of health. He definitely Acts okay! But we will wait and see from the vets, fingers crossed!
