My neighbor has found a kitten and was wondering if we would take him/her? There are tons of stray cats in our neighborhood, so this does not surprise me that a kitten was found. I usually leave out water and some food for the strays that come into our yard. My neighbor's wife and son are allergic, so they cannot have any pets. I took this kitten and put him/her into a pet carrier, and gave him/her some food, water and a litter box. He/she is in a cool area away from my other cats. I have an appt. to take him/her to the vet this afternoon once DH returns.
What do I do with this kitten after the vet? If he/she is free from disease, do we keep the kitten? We have the 2 dogs and our 2 cats. Trinity and Hayley only have been vaccinated for Rabies. They are strictly indoor cats. This is why I have the kitten away from them and I being very cautious of handling the kitten. She does look healthy but we all know that looking healthy does not mean much with some diseases. I do not know how the cats will react to having a kitten in the house. I haven't had to litter train a kitten in years. Hayley and Trinity were both adopted as young cats. Trinity was adopted in May. Hay is still getting used to having Trin around. We have the room to keep a kitten. We have the toys,cat tree, cat beds, food and love too. This is a life-time commitment though. Thank you everyone ahead of time for the advice.
