I don't know, but I had a fox terrier mix I let out to go "potty" one Christmas Eve and when she came back in she brought a semi-feral back in with her. She had never had a relationship with a cat before, but they remained devoted to each other through out their lives.
Is there such a thing as a kitten finding dog? Like one who will not hurt them, just find the kitten nests for you? I need one of them.
I have tried getting help before with no luck. I think that kitten may have been four weeks and that was a week ago, so it would be five. I am feeding the cats at the dumpster and I sometimes see the one who might be the mom there. I did rescue three kittens at that dumpster from another batch. I will TNR the adult cats slowly as I am able working through a feral cat program.Can you start feeding them and try to trap them?
Food tends to help.
How old did the kitten look?
Can you ask a recue organization to help?
This is sad.
It is too dangerous an area to send a child. The dumpster is behind a strip mall where drug dealers hang out. You have to lift up a very heavy fence behind a smelly trashy dumpster. There is trash and branches and a muddy slope where it is easy to fall and there could be snakes or rats back there. I got stickers all over my clothes and I was worried about poison ivy pushing through the brush. Some young guys who are adventurous would be ideal, but I don't know any.You can perhaps find some friendly youngster or better still, a young girl, whom wants to help, and will be happy with just several dollars? AND doing a good deed at the same time. Be shure she is used with cats.
