I rescued a kitten that was on a dual carriageway (a small freeway for US friends), cars and lorries were swerving to avoid her and driving over her, luckily for her not with wheels, just "over" her. She was hard to catch, but I blocked the road so cars had to pass very slowly and one at a time. Once I cornered her in the tunnel by an emergency entrance, I grabbed and instantly got bitten to pieces, not only was she scared, but terrified of both me and her surroundings.-
She is totally feral, but I wouldn't put her older than 6 - 8 weeks old. I've done the first stage of confining in a small room ( a bathroom ) where she had access to a hide place, food and water and a litter tray.
She had a bit of constipation to begin but now its runny and even though she would pee in the tray, she would poop in other areas of the bathroom. My new kitten cage came today, I have moved her now into the cage with new litter, food and water and a comfy hide place in the living room to start integrating with the family and our other 3 cats. She's obviously still scared and I can only handle her with leather gloves as she spits, scratches and bites. She was in her hide place when she was writhing her bum area and straining. She had soiled herself and just sitting in it as she was to scared to come out and use the litter.
All I could do was catch her with the gloves on and clean her with baby wipes which was all I had to hand at the time. Being she is so hard to handle at the moment, can anyone give me any help on how I can best clean her if she does soil herself again as the way I'm doing it is obviously not good for the little mites confidence.
