I'm am fully confident there is a sign somewhere on this property that says "Cats here".
I can't accurately tell you how many we have now, but better add another.
My son's friend just brought over a day or two old kitten that was abandoned by it's Mother. The kitten's sibling was already dead where they found it at the neighbor's house in the flower bed.
So of course I had to take it in and at least give it a shot at survival. $8.00 for the Kitten milk from the Vet and another $10 for a thermometer and alcohol to test the food warmth and I'm already in the hole with this one.....I've spent money on worst causes.
I think it has a shot because it looks like it got at least some of mom's colostrum and feeds pretty well from the bottle. It's strong and very vocal. Looks like it wants to try this life thing out.
My daughter is home for the summer vacation so she has volunteered to get up and feed it. We will see. If not, I know my Wife will.
I grew up on a small farm/ranch type setting and have witnessed nature in all it's glory and tragedy and I know things might go well or.. not for this little guy.
In any case, my kids need to see that life sometimes needs a bit of help regardless of the way things might turn out.
So wish it luck and I'll keep you posted.
