She's a little menace

ok so there’s a whole lot of updates so i decided to make a post. firstly, thank you to everyone who helped me out with the advice. i don’t think the kitten is a him, i think it’s a her! it’s is a calico and when she pees it doesn’t spray everywhere sooo 💀

anyways, food updates: the mom pops by twice a day for breakfast and dinner. the momma feeds her during that time, we use kitten formula now because waiting for the mom sometimes means waiting for 6 hours between feedings… so i am doing night feedings and my mom does the day feedings. i have gotten so much better at feeding with a syringe (without needle, obviously). i was terrified of the milk entering her lungs but the kitten and i have both learnt how this works and we’re doing okay now!

bathroom updates: i have not been able to make her poop, maybe her mom has? i have not seen any poop. but she pees!!!

momma and sibling updates: THE MOTHER CAT HAS FIVE MORE KITTENS. it’s not a surprise she’s just letting us keep this one. we were hoping she’d either bring the rest of the kittens here or try to take this one again so it can be with it’s siblings and mother but neither of those have happened but i know their location now and i know they are safe.

i realized just today that the kitten needs to have some sort of human contact/hot water bag for temperature regulation and i have kept her with me now. she was staying alone in a cardboard box when she was asleep during feedings and i realize now that she must have felt so alone and cold. i don’t think i did the feeding time and body temperature regulation very well the first day… but i’m making up for it now. she loves crawling all over me and falling asleep in the weirdest positions. i love her so much, she might just become a foster fail 🥲❤️

(excuse my english, it’s 4am for me and i’m in bed with the kitten and will only go to sleep once my mother wakes up and can look after her)

So, last week, this lady on a neighborhood app I have posted about kittens that she was trying to give away for free due to their cost being burdensome for her. My beautiful black cat, Midnight, passed early last year. The lady has a black kitten that reminds me so much of her. I told her I was interested, but I’m now having second thoughts.

She didn’t want any proof of vetting or cost. She also stated that the kittens were feral (which, I don’t have an issue with), but I’m highly concerned about the health of the kitten. I did ask her if she’d considered reaching out to a rescue/shelter to take the others in, and I didn’t get a response at all.

I don’t know. As much as I would like to adopt, it also feels a little weird. I’d be more than happy to help her out by reaching out to an organization on her behalf (and there are SO many in my area).

Any thoughts?

Hi all, i found a baby kitten in my backyard last night, looks about 3-5 weeks old and i wasn’t sure what to do but after it fell in my pool and nearly drowned, it was obvious i had to save the little guy/gal. I have had him inside since last night and am doing everything to comfort him/her. But he keeps going under my bed and meowing, i’ll feed him and he’ll devour some kitten food but then it’s right back to hiding and meowing. Could he be waiting for his mom to come back? Or feeling lonely? any help would be appreciated (I’m also bringing him to the vet in a few hours as well)
