Control this afternoon to pick up a cat to take to a foster family. This little kitten was in one of the cages and he was huddled in a corner, cold as could be. When I tried to encourage him to eat some of the canned cat food they had put down for him, he didn't understand how to eat it--they had put a lot of water in it and he may have aspirated some food. I didn't think he would survive the night, so I brought him home, gave him a bath and saw that he is probably suffering from flea anemia. I think most of the fleas are gone thanks to the bath and good tweezer. I still don't know if he will make it. He only ate a little canned cat food, and I syringed him with a dose of homemade pedialyte. He probably doesn't even weigh 1 lb, even though he is probably at least 6 weeks old. I don't know how he survived this long but this little boy, named Rocky, deserves to live.





UPDATE: Poor little Rocky died around 4:30 this a.m. He started having seizures and crying loudly and shortly afterwards, his frail little body just gave out. At least he didn't die all alone in the animal control. My sister and I will bury this little one here on our property.
