Humane Society/Animal Shelter. Milk is good for the kitten, a small used towel/old tshirt for some warmth as it will be slightly chilly tonight. Also suggest putting it in the garage (if you have one) until morning, protected from the elements and can't sneak off.

Appropriate that that was post 6666 for me. Gotta change that right away! How does it look? Good shape or very skinny? Could it belong to someone in the neighborhood? Ideal thing would be to keep it if not. But take it to a vet first to make sure it doesn't have fleas. You could post a note around saying you found a kitten and/or you have a kitten to give away.

Found a dog running loose a 4-5 years ago-no tags. Took to the humane society and I had to pay $20 to surrender the dog. Luckily he was chipped and the owner was going to be notified. Small price to hopefully reunite a dog with its owner, but they wouldn't release the info just so I could even follow up.

Or you could do this:

My wife found a kitten on our back porch one night while it was snowing pretty hard. Her great idea, bring it in the house. Did I mention that I was deployed and that we have a beagle? Long story short, the beagle loved the kitten. how do I know this you might ask? He played with it, followed it around, and rolled in its poop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My wife had to bathe him right before bed time. The next day my wife took the kitten to the Humane Society and dropped it off. When my wife got home and let Beau out of his room, he roamed the house for an hour looking for the kitten.

I know its not really an answer to your question, but I thought I'd share.

My thought, take it to the HS.

My dog found a cat once.... We took him to the veterinarian, who gave him shots, got him relatively healthy and my ex-wife still has him(I kept the dog). He has to be like 15.... He's a good cat...

Sounds like its already a done deal to me Kenneth. My 2 cents is to keep the little critter and it'll be a great addition to the family.

My cat says "Keep it man..."

My last dog did the same thing when we found a stray cat. My poor dog even tried to feed the little kitten even though she wasn't nursing. We ended up finding a home for the little kitten, but my dog was extremely protective of it.

First things first; Bring it to a good vet for a check-up, shots, de-worming, etc. They should be able to recommend a good kitten diet. Kittens need LOTS of calories to grow and run around. If the kitten hasn't been weaned, there is kitten milk replacement available from most pet shops. Also, I don't recommend that cats be "outdoor" cats anymore; there are coyotes, cars, feline AIDS, feline leukemia, in addition to the monsters in human form that would prey on innocent animals. It's just too dangerous for cats to be outside these days.

Im gonna bring it by for a check up this weekend. And she will most certainly be an indoor cat. I put a teddy bear in the box, to keep her company. She is such a sweet kitten and it makes me feel so great to have helped it out.

Also, she will need to run around in order to build physical confidence as well as her muscle tone, so don't keep her in the box for too long.

I liive in an apartment complex and im led to think it was a stray, she may be 8 weeks at most. No collar no tag. If I see signs up for a lost kitten I will most certainly turn it over, but until then she's gonna keep me company. Im bringing her to the vet today, for an exam and de wormer as well as picking up some kitten food and a litter box, im just gonna keep her in our guest bathroom.

Another thing people do is put a wind-up clock wrapped in a towel where the kitten sleeps- the ticking of the clock reminds the little one of its mother's heartbeat and is comforting.

I'm glad you kept the little bugger, my man. I haven't had a cat or dog for a few months and it's really working on me. It's been a long time since I've not had a pet, and fish just don't get it.

Well done!:banger

We have two cats (brother and sister) found them sick, and decided to get them well at the vet and fixed so they didn't make 5K more cats.....and you know the rest. Happy to have them going on 4 years now. :tu

"Fixing" does more than just prevent more kittens; it helps keep them healthy by eliminating the stress that all those hormones cause, like cancer. A fixed, indoor cat will live a longer, happier life. :tu

Don't make the mistake i made...I thought 'kittens love milk' and that was all I gave it, I thought "who would want water
when they could have milk?" Kittens need water. Cat died.
But I can't abide cats anyway, once they mark some territory (sofa) it's ruined. Cats are best left to the jungle, haha.
Remember also that non-pet owners in apartments find a cute cat but often don't know the complex's rules on pets
since they never cared to know before. Then the pest control man mentions you have a cat and your rent goes up 50
bucks and they tell you you need to cough up another 400 for pet deposit....something like that. Careful.
