Passing on a message about a special needs kitty...

One of the half-wild cats at work ended up having 3 kittens under some garbage.

About 3 weeks later, the half-wild mother cat disappeared. After several days, my wife and I rescued some half-starved kittens. We still haven't seen the mother cat, and she's presumed dead.

Two of the kittens were bottle-fed for about a week, transitioned to dry cat food, and given away.

The third kitten had a severe infection and scarring due to some accident. The damage has resulted in him losing most of his ear. The infection was so bad that it was doubtful he would survive.

After being partially shaved, having the absess lanced, being on antibiotics, and being dewormed, the kitten is much better, but he's still pretty fugly. He also has fleas and is too young (5 weeks) to be treated for them.

So, how do you find a home for an ugly, flea-ridden kitten? I already have 2 cats, I do not have the room or the time for a third cat.

Included are a few pictures of the cat. Part of the area around his ear has been shaved, and it looks like he's regrowing hair on most of it.
