In reply to the discussion: Need good thoughts for my new 3-week old kitten, Sam [View all]dem in texas
(2,681 posts)79. Thank you for rescuing this little creature.
Hope she gets better, those little kitties have lots of resilience. We live at the edge of the city and get a lot of abandoned animals. Over the 30 years we have lived out here we have had so many abandoned animals show up at our house. We always check lost pets and pet finders and every once in awhile we will find the owner and return their pet. For the others, we have been lucky in that we have been able to find homes for them or we have kept them. My two current pets, a calico cat and a pit bull mix were both drop-offs and showed up at our door.

make sure it's "baby's first" and not toddler food- they have spices and salt in the toddlers

She looks exactly like the 3 week old very sick kitten I once rescued from the middle of the road.

Bless you, Joeybee. I'm sure you're doing this, but hold her as much as you can and lick her often

Isn't it awesome how these babies are able to find just the right person?
