New Kitten

[kittielover123]

SO... recently i was watering my grass when i heard meowing from the next door neighbors house. Looked and it was a kitten! Stuck under the house! There is a vent in the way (like the one below) And i have been pushing food through the holes and pouring water through there too. And my neighbor is out of town all summer!! Tried calling the animal department and they said you have to consult your neighbor. And by any means do i want to get in trouble by breaking my neighbors vent.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Oh my word! This seems to be an emergency that would warrant a handyman removing the grate to get the kitten out.

Do you know your neighbors much?

How old is the kitten?

Have you checked around the exterior of the house?

I have to wonder if there is another opening where the kitten possibly crawled in? Or where mama kitty got in to have her kittens in the first place.

Thank you for feeding the kitten. Poor thing needs to be rescued.

No my neighbors just moved in a few weeks ago
the kitten seems to be about 1-2 months old..
looks like he has been in there a while. Still no sign of mother.

Please check around the exterior of the house for other possible openings. If you find one, try to call or lure the kitten to it.

Can you get a picture of the kitten through the grate?

Is the kitten eating the food?

Any clue when the neighbors return?

I found a little door at the back of the house! thank god. The cat is safe and i plan to keep it! here is a picture. What should i name her?

Sorry for my over-excitement

i kinda feel dumb for posting this thread.

Hooray! Kitty must be relieved.

She looks about 8 weeks old. So glad you were able to get her.

Give her name a few days while you check out her personality. She's beautiful!

Don't let her outside. Feed her kitten chow and wet food. Did you set up a litter box?

There are no dumb threads!

I also love this happy ending!

She'll need spaying in a couple months. Do you have a low cost spay clinic in town?

 

[kittielover123]

Yes! i have 4 litter boxes for my 3 (now 4!) cats! And yes i have a discount at a vet clinic down the road from me.

 

[Sarthur2]

Hooray! How is she doing today?

 

[kittielover123]

Very good! She is very playful... she also is getting used to our other cats already.
