Hey everyone, My name is beth and I would like to introduce my new orphaned kitten Purdy. She is about four and a half weeks old and my very first kitten. I joined because I know nothing about cats because I have always been a dog person . I have five dogs two boxers and three chihuahuas. They are doing really good with purdy. She only ways 8 oz . I took her to the vet and he said she was in great health. He gave me some replacement kitten formula and we have been feeding her with a syringe but she will lap up the milk a couple of times by herself. I am so nervous and worried about her. She seems to be doing good. She even used the litter box a few times already.
. I have to be a strong momma cat. lol we have a bed in her kennel and her litter pan (thats all that will fit) and she stays in there when we leave for work or doing something other than playing with her on the couch. This is for her safey because of the dogs and she is so little she could get into anything. When we get home all of the dogs are barking in their kennels wanting to get out and she is hanging on the kennel door meawoing too. Really cute. 
You will be suprised how fast she puts on weight. My DH found a kitten that was malnourished and overridden with fleas, after a blood transfusion he put on 4 lbs in 2 months
