Found a kitten
 

While taking a walk with my wife and smoking at cao la traviata I found a small kittens. I'm not sure what to do with it and right now it is sitting in a box on my porch licking milk. Any ideas?

Keep it!

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.

Re: Found a kitten
 

Its iin great shape. Im leaning toward the humane society.

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:

This kitten is too cute for words

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...

I can't have pets were I'm at but I would prob bite the bullet and keep that little guy.

Re: Found a kitten
 

I keep putting her on the floor, and she keeps climbing onto me. Its heart melting. I named her Scarlet O'hara

Re: Found a kitten
 

Looks just like a tiny kitten I found once. Here she is ten years later:

She's gone now, never regretted keeping her...

Re: Found a kitten
 

Aww it does. Im gonna stalk to the wife about keeping it. I think she'll go for it. She wouldn't let me keep it outside, then again I don't think I would've either.

Re: Found a kitten
 

Once you bring a kitten inside, it's all over. They own YOU...

Re: Found a kitten
 

Its over.

Re: Found a kitten
 

Cute little bugger. I would keep the guy/girl

Re: Found a kitten
 

Thanks for all the help and input guys

Re: Found a kitten
 

Humane society gets my vote...but then again, I am not a cat lover.

Re: Found a kitten
 

Were gonna keep it.

Re: Found a kitten

Buy a litter box?

Re: Found a kitten
 

Keep him, you'll take better care of him than the HS.

Re: Found a kitten
 

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.

Re: Found a kitten
 

Not usually a cat person (allergic) but c'mon! That's a cute one!!

Re: Found a kitten
 

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.

Re: Found a kitten
 

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.

Re: Found a kitten
 

Have you made an attempt to find her owners? :confused:

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.

Re: Found a kitten
 

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.

Re: Found a kitten
 

You named the critter. You have to keep it.

Re: Found a kitten
 

I still say a litter box is the best "first things first". ;) :r

Re: Found a kitten
 

+1 :tpd:

Re: Found a kitten
 

You named her, the cat owns you! She is adorable.:tu

SO just to keep everyone updated, this kitten is amazing. He has his shots this week and is going through his playful stage. He is WIRED, he really seems like he is enjoying his life.
