Ok first it is great to make a post that isn’t a hypochondriac type post over Scooter. 
But I do need help more like reassurance here. Before I start I will note I currently live with parents due to financial reasons. I can’t afford to rent a place that will allow pets. You will understand why I said that shortly.
My mom works at a water utilities place she works inside the office. Sometime Tuesday one of the guys were out on a call. They saw a cat in the road and swerve to miss her. The cat was carrying something she got spooked dropped what she was carrying and ran. Turns out what she was carrying was a small black kitten. The guy picked the kitten up out of the road. He looked to see where mom went to see if he can try to put the baby back with mom. But he could not find her or where she went. So instead of leaving the kitten alone he brought it back to the office. For some reason my mom thought we could take her which she knows we can’t. The kitten is a black female we estimate she is about 3 or 4 weeks old. She is very cute and I always said I wanted a black female cat however the time is not right. I would have to set up a 2nd litter box cause 3 cats and 1 litter box wouldn’t work. I can tell the difference from when Scooter uses the litter box and when Casper goes. With 3 cats I wouldn’t be able to tell. I don’t have the space for a 2nd litter box. That is why I only have 1 for 2 cats. When it would come to food I would have to buy regular food then kitten food I cannot handle that financially right now. Plus Casper is terrified of her. I know it is because she smells funny to him but he still will not come in the room when I take her out to feed her. Him being terrified is not a good situation for him or the kitten. Scooter he could care less he watches the kitten but then goes about his business. So right now it not a good time especially financially. So I made the decision on not to keep her.
My mom talked to the guy who found her he said he will take her. He plans on nursing her and when she is ready to find a good home for her. But he can’t take her til Friday. Since it is 1:25am in WV as I type this I basically have 24 hours left with her. She does get fed kitten milk cause she is not ready for solid food yet. Plus I think she has something going on with her eye as I have to clean it constantly. So she might need a vet visit which I definitely can’t afford. This guy has done this before so I know she will be in good hands. He can better care for her then what I can right now. With Scooter & Casper both were already on kitten food I never had to bottle feed them or help them potty.
In my head and heart I know this is the right thing for her. As much as it hurts cause she is what I always said I wanted I just can’t handle it right now. Plus I don’t have the energy and finances to handle another cat right now. She deserves someone who has the time and money to properly care for her. She deserves to have someone with better knowledge at it than me. I know this is the best for her. I just need some reassurance I am indeed right in doing this. So am I doing right with this kitten?
