My husband & I caught a tiny kitten outside of a strip mall last night after a three hour "chase", brought it home, and set it up in the bathroom. The kitten hasn't used the litter yet (or gone at all actually).
Our older cat is mad at us for bringing home a baby, she is pouting under the bed right now.
A friend said the vet can't do anything for the kitten at this age, but I want it to have shots and disease testing, with eventual spay/neutering, before it hangs out with our other cat. So, I'm going to call the vet to see what they think.
We are currently feeding it milk replacer, wet kitten food, and water. It's skinny for a kitten this age so we added milk replacer to help it gain weight back.
Does anyone have any tips I might have forgotten? Edit: Should I treat it like a feral cat? It is extremely docile and quiet and only seems scared when you're standing over her or make sudden movements or noises, typical cat antics. It seems to like cuddles and wants to curl up by my neck.
Thanks!
