Last night my husband and I went for a run, split up and set a time and place we would meet. When he didn't show up to our rendezvous point after 45 minutes, I got worried. I retraced his possible steps and eventually found him in the woods. He explained to me that the whole time he had been trying to keep a grey fox away from a stray kitten. He managed to coax the kitten out of the little bush it had backed itself into to get away from the fox, and scared the fox away and brought the kitten out of the woods.
We immediately took note of how small the kitten was and figured it couldn't be more than just a few weeks. It is very skinny, and a lot of his or her bones are protruding. We immediately made a run and bought some replacement milk formula and have been feeding him/her every three hours as instructed by the formula box. We've set up a small litter box and a spot for him/her to snuggle in our spare bedroom.
They are loving all of the pets and affection, though they are quite timid.
The kittens bowels are concerning to me, it looks more like a bug to me, body/wings and all. I'm assuming that this is because she/he hunted for bugs for food because they couldn't hunt anything larger due to the kittens size.
I can't get the in to see our vet until Monday. We're going to find out how old she/he is, check her/him out for parasites, get any vaccines they may need, and find out when we can get them spayed/neutered. We would love to be this fur babies forever home as long as we're the best fit for them. Any tips for caring for this little nugget would be greatly appreciated. I've had cats before, but never a stray.
