Next week I'm taking a kitten in a relative found, in the past few months while caring for family out of state. This kitten Might have gotten Separated from his Litter in a rain storm. He was found frightened out of his mind on a flooding street corner.
Maybe Accidentally separated from his
Litter in the thunder storm. It Was, A bad storm With thunder, Lightning, flooding.The corner he was on was rapidly flooding and he was just there crying and almost drowning. At first he/she was tiny, couldn't poop on his Own, was in the process of being weened maybe. needed it's stomach and butt rubbed to poop, but has gone from a bottle to mash, to dry with chicken broth in about a month. Took to the litter box the second day.
They called me because although they wanted to care for and help the cat, they can't keep it, they already have 3 pit bulls!
I have two female cats, not related, adopted last summer. One is 9, one is 3. Both have kidney disease. have 3 and half cat trees and 5 litter boxes( they pee a lot, and vary favorite certain different boxes, spots). The cats don't love each other, but get along ok, usually, will even sleep on same bed together so sometimes.
I have a full time job and leave for at least 10 hours a day, 5 days a week. The cats only have me, besides work I'm a homebody. Have a small empty spare room for the kitten. A small cat tree (unless bad idea). Want to know what else I should provide for the kitten before it comes. What kind of litter should I get? Right now my cats are using unscented paper pellets, would that be ok ? A small box for a bed?
How should I go about introducing them when time comes?
The kitten will be taken to a vet to be tested. as soon as possible.
Any tips? I've never had a kitten before. Always preferred the older cats. Never had 3 cats either.
What can I do to help this kitten grow up to be a healthy old cat?
