This morning my mom saw a kitten in the driveway across the street, she called me outside and we found out it was just about 7-10 weeks old (we think). When I went up to it, it came practically running to me and I picked it up and he started purring. We didn't bring him in (though, we'd like to) but we don't know if he might have some illness and we have kittens, also. This kitten had a really swollen stomach and was wet near his eyes/cheeks. Since I am the only one home now I have no way to a vet. The quickest we could get him to one would be later this afternoon.
He (we think he is a he) can eat solid food because when he saw the bowl in my hands you could tell he knew what it was and he ate like he is starving (which I am sure he was). and he's a really big sweetie, he purrs when I hold him and doesn't want me to put him down.
Any suggetions until the vet visit about what to do with him? I have him in a cat carrier in the back yard with a towel and some food. He doesn't really like it in there, but I am afraid he will run away. And I am sure he needs to be checked over.
