I just wanted to update and say that I was able to rehome the kitten with an acquaintance a little over a week after I found her. And she will be spayed once old enough. I would have loved to have given her a home, but it would have too expensive for me. And I also felt that with her still...

Something that seem to be helping is that I took my sleep sound machine next to the crate when I am at work. It has a heartbeat sound, which she seems to like. She is also playing a lot more than she was. She still cries, but it doesn't go on as long now.

Well there has been one change from yesterday. Yesterday if I held her she was fine. But today she cries when being held. Everything on the rescue sites says to hold them, but it is hard when she cries.

Well, she has pooped. She is eating but not much. I hoping as she gets comfortable, she will eat more. She will let me lay with her. But she also looks around and will whine a little. I think she is looking and calling for mom.

Right now she is an a large dog crate. I put a small litter in there, food, water, a toy, bedding. The crate is in my bathroom. She is so tiny, to me since I have not had a kitten before, that I didn't want to risk having her out in the bathroom unsupervised.

She doesn't seem to have pooped yet, but it has been less than 24 hrs. Although maybe she buried it. I'm not too worried about that yet. I'm hoping I can get someone to check on her during the day. Most of my friends work full time the way I do. And if I do succeed in getting my dad to come...

How many hours can she be on her own at this age? I work full time, so if the rescue doesn't find a foster, I will keep her. My parents don't live far from me, and my father is retired. I may be able to convince him to come over during the week and check up on her. He is not really a cat person...

Just an update, she peed in the litter box (well the disposable cake pan that is pretending to be a litter box). I wasn't sure if she would know how to use it since the first few times I put her in it and scratched, she just would lay down in it. I just don't get it. To me this suggests that...

I don't think they will ask for anything, I'm just a worrier by nature. They never asked for anything on my late kitty who moved in with me. No documentation and they never asked to see him. And they haven't seen my current kitty. They also mandate that the cats be spayed/neutered and be in...

One of my main concerns in keeping her is my building mangement. I have to pay an additional fee and they have a declaw mandate. I'm against declawing and refuse to do it. My torbie was declawed by a previous owner. Granted management has never asked, and I live in a large complex. I think it...

I'm pretty sure my torbie smelled the kitten on me. But she didn't seem upset, just curious. I turned the bathroom defogger on and the noise seems to comfort the kitten. The last time I had cats introduced was 20 years ago, and I was only in elementary school at the time. So the memory is...

My one concern is she is crying a lot. I'm sure it is because she misses her mom and littermates if any. When I hold her she is fine, but I am also trying to make sure I devote time to my adult kitty ( who I actually adopted just a month ago). I live alone so I feel like I'm torn between the two...

She ate a little. She doesn't seem to be scared of me, which makes me pretty sure she was used to people. It also looks like someone trimmed her nails. When I found her I looked to see if there were any other kittens, but I didn't see any. I'm glad I found her because it was right near a busy...

I found a kitten today. I am almost positive she was dumped because she was in a closed box near a dumpster. I'm guessing her age to be about 5-6 weeks. I have limited experience and knowledge about kittens. I have always had adult cats. I called the local rescue and they told me that they...

I have a senior cat who has a litter box problem for nearly a year now. I have taken him to the vet and they say it is not medical. He does go in his box. But sometimes he goes right next to it. I have tried everything I can think of, as well as several suggestions. I have gradually changed...

My cat stopped burying his poo years ago. Although he does occasionally wave his paws over it as though blessing it.

My cat's litter box was at one time not as well cleaned. My parents were at work all day and I was away at college, so it just wasn't kept up as well as it should have been. Then due to an illness in my family, the cat had to board at the vets for two weeks. After that he wouldn't use it often...

Make sure you clean any messes with an enzyme cleaner. My male cat will go outside the box if it is not scooped a couple times a day. He used to be less concerned about it but as he has gotten older he prefers it to be as clean as possible. Try to clean it out more, as it may make a...

My cat has never attacked me, so I'll do my best to help. Is she spayed? I didn't see that addressed in your post. Something about your room seemed to upset her. It may not have been your room, but something she sensed. Perhaps outside cats or another animal were outside your home. When you...

I had to switch to APA for my final and most important paper last semester after using MLA for so many years. It was a difficult transition.
