But she looks like an 8 mo. old kitten. And the girl bought her for $100 as a young kitten. I think I'll take her to the vet and see what they think. If neglect ( not enough food, dirty litter and dirty or dried up water bowl) is considered abuse then it may be abuse. I cant keep her but at least I could adopt her out to someone who wouldnt neglect her. I will probably talk to the owner about it but being young and irresponsible it might not help. The cat and owner do seem to love one another though as far as I can tell. The owner bought some Non-clumping litter when she left her cat with me, which may explain part of the problem.
