She's pretty small, maybe seven or six weeks? I probably wouldn't have noticed her except her little head was peering out and I was driving slowly because I thought it was a garage sale sign. She was on a corner in a cardboard box (I had no clue people actually left kittens out like that! Especially in summer here where it's so hot!) I figured, I have a cat that is due any day and she could help take care of her. She's mostly black and felt really hot, panting and mewing.
When I walked in my cat hissed and growled, and the kitten did right back, even though she's a small fraction of the size of my cat! She's spunky.
My boy cat (he's getting neutered in a couple days, no worries) is locked up in the bathroom and didn't care at all about the kitten, just sniffed her a bit and was more interested in the milk I had and being petted.
Since I've already got so many vet bills with fixing my two cats (and the kittens before they go to their new homes) I can't afford to have her checked up for another couple weeks. She drank maybe an eighth of a teacup full of warm milk, but none of the water or kibble I offered.
In your experience, what's the best thing to feed a stay kitten (probably undernourished), and what can I do to help her get along with my girl cat? I don't want to send her to the humane society since they're so full already, when I am able to take her in. Is it too soon to give her flea medication? I haven't seen any on her but I don't want her giving them to my cats if she has them.
I thought she might enjoy having other kittens to play with when my cat gives birth. Is it likely my cat will even let her near the kittens when they're born?
