revelations Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 out on our nightly walk around the property last night, we heard meowing coming from across the highway. we walked over and there was a kitten, halfway up a tree. eyes shut from crud all over them. looks like conjunctivitis. one eye could open a little, but i honestly thought the other eye was missing. had a little blood on its face. we brought it home and cleaned its face off and got all the crud from around its eyes. both eyes are open now. someone just dumped it off because they didn't want to deal with it, i'm sure. getting meds today and the local animal shelter is seeking a foster home for it. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it's doing better now. Just have to keep it away from all the other cats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katt_goddess Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Poor little fuzzball, lucky you found it. If it's eyes were that bad it might have ended up as a snack for something without even being able to fight back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the kitten is going to stay with us until the foster becomes available. It's not going to the shelter at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for now it has to stay quarantined since it is contagious. Looking better this morning though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revelations Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 I have my doubts that disco will let it go to a foster home though. I'm sure we will end up keeping it. I don't care. We already have 4, what's one more? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revelations Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 Afternoon update. Kitten is still doing good. Its napping in its litter box though. Other than that, all signs are normal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that, all signs are normal. Orphaned kittens tend to do that, it's a security thing even if it doesn't seem to make sense to the hoomans. The litter box is the one thing that is 100% theirs and they can fit in it. If it truly bothers, you can try to give him a less toilet-y option by putting either a small tuperware container near the box with a handkerchief or a small cardboard box with a low enough walls for the kitten to be able to peek out if they want to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's actually one of the most recommended things to do with a kitten who was rescued. Is just let them be in a tiny confined box for a couple of days and gently try to have them get used to your presence. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I meant was that it doesn't make sense to the hoomans to be curling up in what's basically a toilet. Small personal area is the important thing to little babby furballs.
