So I recently (as in earlier today) ended up buying a Bengal cross kitten. Problem is that the little guy is only 6 weeks old and not really ready to leave mom. I know this yet I took him, because if I didn't take him, someone who didn't have the time, money, etc would be the one buying him. The BYB that had him, was run over by a car and only just got out of hospital. She is not in any shape to care for kittens apparently. The poor little guy is very thin, and smelled bad when they brought him out of the carrier he had been shoved in all day.
I know a bit about taking care of normal young kittens, but I know Bengals tend to be different then other cats. So I was hoping someone on here can give me advice on how to take care of the little fella. Anything would help. The thing I'm most worried about is getting his weight up, as his ribs are very visible and it's just not good.
I'm keeping with me as much as I can, but I do have to go out tomorrow for a couple hours, and am very concerned about leaving him by himself.
Any advice or tips on about caring for him, would be very appreciated!
