Ok so.. Me and BF's cousin were taking a walk to our friend's house. We were standing outside and I kept thinking I was hearing a cat meowing.. And I followed it, and this kitty came out of a yard. BF's cousin stayed in the street as this cat rubbed against me. I bent down and pet her, she stood on her hind legs to rub against my face. She purred the whole time. She seems to be between 3-5 months.. Maybe even 6. I can't tell really, she is very skinny.. When BF's cousin came over, we didn't want to just leave her there ya know? So, we rang the doorbell and knocked on the door of the house which yard she was in. The lights were on, but nobody answered the door.
We decided to just leave her in the yard, because we couldn't bring her home with us. Well, she followed us, very very far from the yard we found her in. We had to cross a major highway.. And we felt like we couldn't just LEAVE her, not only because she was following us.. But because she is extremely skinny, and it is freezing outside and she's just so small.. BF's cousin decided to bring the cat home and take the blame for it, because I knew I was going to get into trouble for bringing a kitten home as I have been told many times before I am not allowed to have anymore.
My BF's parents aren't too mad, we have secured the cat upstairs. As soon as we let her free in my room, she went to the bed and layed on it. I gave her some wet food, she scarfed it down, I also put some warm water out for her since she was outside for who knows how long and who knows how long it has been since she's eaten? I also gave her some dry but ishe is eating it too fast and I don't want her to be sick. We also made her a temporary litterbox because I didn't want her to go to the bathroom in my room. As soon as I put litter in it and set it in a spot she went right for it and pee'd. I noticed she didn't cover it. She doesn't seem sick, and is affectionate, I think she might belong to someone. So tomorrow we plan to walk the kitten back to the house we knocked at tonight.. If she doesn't belong to them, we are going to take her to the Humane Society. I can't keep her. I can't even keep her long enough to post flyers to maybe find her owner. It seems like she wasn't cared about so much, because she is so skinny.
I would love to keep her, she is sooo affectionate
I love Monster and Mittens more than anything in this world, but this kitten is way more affectionate then both of mine combined. I already love her, and I have already cried (about 15 mins after we got home with her) because I can't keep her..
Either way, BF's cousin and I feel like we did the right thing tonight. It is so cold and we think she could have died tonight from it if we hadn't brought her home. I am sad I can't keep her.
ETA: I forgot to mention that she is dehydrated, I changed the warm water for cold after she warmed up.. She drank a good amount of it. She is playful. She has also made herself right at home. I really wish I could keep her. She is also sitting in my lap, kneading my leg and sucking the tip of her tail.
