2 week old kitten orphan- cuteness overload!

I posted in ferals/strays, but will retell the story here for anyone who may not have read that thread.

On Sat, I was at my church's fall fest when a friend of mine (who is a pastor's wife at another church) came up to me with a towel in her hand. Inside was this TINY little kitten. The story is that the momma was killed - possibly by a fox. The kitten was found screaming its head off beside the her church's steps. She didn't know who else to call, so she drove to find me.

Of course, I took it home - completely clueless as to how to care for it. Well...we are figuring it out together! My mom has already asked if she can have the cat when I get it weaned and such, so it has a home. However, I am pretty sure it is a BOY and I have named it (for now) Mr. Meowgie. Big name, little cat.

Here are some pics that were honestly just too cute not to share.

Mr. Meowgie having his bottle:



Just an idea of how tiny he really is...

You're not holding him on his back, are you? I have never had to nurse a little one like that, but I think I heard that was one thing to avoid.

He sure is tiny!

Oh he is adorable
I can't wait to watch this baby grow!

Cute little dumpling. I hope the little one makes it and has a good forever home with your mother.

I read that too. He is actually sitting straight up with the back of his head against my chest. I tried and tried to get him to eat while on his belly and the bottle just doesn't work that way. I feel like I am breaking his neck! He seems to be doing okay this way though.

He is adorable.here's to a healthy kitten!

OMG he's adorable I love his little tail

He looks really good!!

Cuteness patrol Meowgie IS adorable . More that he continues to thrive

How is the fleece working out? I notice you are using it in the pics, does it help?

It helps tons! Thank you for the tip! I also put fleece in his carrier and he loves to snuggle into it and make biscuits. I think it feels like momma to him.

Oh my goodness, he is absolutely PRECIOUS!!!

OMGOSH!!! Sooooooo cute!!! Only one problem. WE NEED MORE PICS!!! Thank you for taking this sweet baby in!!

I'm glad it helps! How's he doing? I'm hoping he's still thriving....and you aren't falling over exhausted.

He is the cutest thing ever!! So tiny, I wish him the best, and he already has a good start having you to care for him.

I posted more pics today under the "Mr. Meowgie" thread in "Caring for ferals and strays" forum.

OMG, how ADORABLE! I will have to check out your other thread for more of his cuteness.
