I have not been on the cat site since last year when I inquired about the feral cats that I care for. I have spayed and neutered them all (there were 5 & 3 are left). I have a new concern. A kitten appeared out of nowhere. She has attached herself to myself and my boyfriend. I have no clue how old she is. The youngest cats are 2 years old and their mother is over 5 years old. She's a great mother, but none of them want anything to do with this poor little lonely kitten. Well, she's just so darn cute that I decided that she needed to be held and then we brought her in and bathed her in baby shampoo and I sat and picked the remaining fleas off of her with tweezers for a couple of hours. She prefers being inside with us. I try to bring take her outside, but she's lonely and does not want to go. We have decide that we definately want to bring her in and just need to know how to deal with what to do about our bird. He's pretty mean and we have not let him out of the cage because I don't know what either of them would do. I don't want to bring her in if he has to remain in his cage because he only sleeps in his cage (and has done so since he was 2 mos. old). Is there a way to introduce our baby girl (Sunny) to Tikibird now while she's little or am I just dreaming?
Also, how do I know how old she is? I want to take her to be spayed and given all of her shots but don't want to too soon. I've never had an inside cat and have only been caring for my ferals for 3 years now. The come inside when Tikibird is up but are not interested in living anywhere but outside. What type of things do I need to purchase in order for our little Sunny to feel at home? Is there an organic treatment for fleas? I checked the organic stores and didn't find anything that handles fleas. She's way too little to put chemicals on & since I don't put them on myself, I won't put them on my babies.
Any help you could give me is appreciated. Sorry I went on so long.
