ok my friend brought me over this little black kitten that has been tailing her at her apartment complex and today snuck in her house. After loosing her once(she was in a cardboard cat box and managed to get out before i could get her set up in our bathroom away from kirra and tiffy) i know she was someones pet at some point. When i went outside looking for her armed with only a flashlight and kissy noises, she came running meowing her heart out to me. She appears to be between 4-6 months old, i would say around 4, she still has most of her baby teeth. She is nothing but skin and bones, i did a dawn dip, no fleas, no flea dirt. but it aloud me to see just how thin she is. she has not an ounce of fat on her. She has some balding, i would say from malnutrition. We have her set up in the bathroom, litter pan, food and water and the towel i dried her with to lay on. We have the door to the bathroom closed and than i have a small halway that leads to my kids' room and our room, both doors to each room are closed. So there are at least 2 doors between her and my kitties. I plan to call around this weekend to find a rescue group that can take her. If i cant find one by monday evening i will take her to the humane society. I want to avoid that at all costs, i hate kill shelters. She has some ear dirt too btw. My husband's biggest concern is leukemia other wise i have a feeling we would wind up keeping her rofl. but i really cant handle another cat under a year old right now, especially with surgery in 2 weeks.
Any advice to help the kitty over the next few days would be great. I did rescue for years back when i was a teenager, but its always great to get more advice.
