I would put this in the Feral section but figured I'd get more responces here. Today I went to feed my colony and heard a kitten screaming loudly. I followed the noise and found her under a junk tire. I pulled her out and saw something was wrong. I layed her on the ground and her head is twisted and her back is in a "u" shape. She doesn't walk but rolls.
When I put her where the females could get to her, they were nursing her but a few minutes later, she had rolled from them. I moved her back, 10 minutes later, she rolled away. I ended up putting her in a low sided box for the females to get to her. Last I seen, she's still there and was nursing.
I did check her over when I had her in my hands and she looks born this way. Her head folds back towards her tail. Her neck isn't broke, I saw/found no wounds/bites. My question is should I have her put to sleep or just wait to see if she manages on her own? My gut says to wait but my head says it's cruel to wait and see. She doesn't seem to be in pain. I even had her purring while I was snuggleing her. Shes about 3 weeks or so old.
Thanks!
