What would you do if you found a tiny kitten?

You need to try and find the owner first try contacting the cat centres then if that fails and you cannot find the owners. You can either keep it or give it to a cat centre. You need to try and find the owners first though because they might be very upset.

I wouldn't be able to keep it because i am allergic to cats but i would definitely take it to the animal shelter.

we were given a 3 week old last week and she's just started eating solid foods, not interested in the kitten milk without the bottle, but drinking water some too she's 4 weeks now, but I don't have a current pix -

We have one such cat. The litter was found under a house. They had been abandoned by the mother and they are so tiny they had to be bottle fed. My daughter is a vet tech and the kittens were distributed for care among the staff. She took hers back and forth to work, or we baby sat if she couldn't take her for that day. When "Kiddoe" got a bit older we took her in permanently. She's a beautiful dark gray and the only thing wrong with her is the very tip her tail has no fur because of ring worms she had when she was found. At one point we had her brother who was the runt of the litter. Kiddoe was small, but he was teeny tiny. Both cats are doing fine and the runt is now twice the size of his sister. He lives with one of the vets.

hi ritz I would feed it, then I would have to find a home for it as if I kept it here it would make my rent go much higher, but I would find someone who could afford a kitten and who would really love her and take good care of her. some here have money to spare so could afford the kitten then there are some home owners on this street. I would find a home for the kitten.

Hey Ritz! Good for you for taking in the little kitty! I always want to take in every stray that I see, but I have two 5 year old cats that are very territorial and know that they would have a problem with it! I still think that if I saw one like you described I would have to take it in and take it to the vet and hope that Star & Luna would accept it as their brother/sister! I just hate to see any baby left alone outside ever!

Hi Ritz, I love little kitten as well. It’s really adorable. I would like to keep it as my pet if I have considerable time to take good care of it. I did keep cats and other animals as pet before. My neighbor is a cat lover as well. She keeps a few cats at the moment. I definitely will pass the little kitten to her if I were to come across any. I believe the little sweet kitten will grow up happily together with her other cats as well Happy posting

I am an animal lover, everyone in my family is. I do come by this naturally as my parents and grandparents are as well. I have found many dogs and cats and taken them home after finding out that they are abandoned. I adopt them and care for them. They become part of the family. If I had heard a kitten in the night, I would have gotten up and checked it out. My thoughts would have been what if they poor little thing was caught in something and could not get out or what if it was injured and needed help? At any rate i would not have been able to sleep until; I went and checked it out. Finding a lone little kitten in an apartment complex I would have put up a notice about the little baby to see if someone claimed it. I would in the mean time take care of the little one. Of course all the while getting attached to it. One time my children where walking behind the grocery store and the man was delivering some things he did not see the mama kitty and the babies staying under the pallets he moved them and killed the mama and all of the babies but one that had wondered away from the rest. My children picked him up and brought him home. From his size and things about him I figured him to be about 3 weeks old. We had a large dog and we sat him inside the dogs bowl of food and he just went away eating his food, lol. Our dog just tilted her her looking at this tiny little might eating her food and inside her bowl. It was the funniest sight. I took him to the vet and got milk for him. I also got some food for him and toys to play with. He turned out to be huge and the love of the family.

Great story Ritz. It probably won't be long before little "chupito" is letting your dogs know who is their new boss. I took a kitten from a neighbor who was on the way to drown it. Well, the very unsociable "Rambo" and I were best mates for about seventeen years. Thanks for the memory of my departed mate.

i don't I'll be able to take care of it. I'll take it to the vet or animal shelter. Hopefully they can take care of it or find a family that can.

If I found a kitten,I will feed it first.then I will post picture of it around the village.someone might be looking for her/him already.if no one looks for him/her,I'll keep him/her.I think your dogs and Zippy wouldn't mind having a baby in the house.

I would do exactly what you did. Most of my pets throughout my life have been strays that I have taken in. My dad used to tell me if a stray was in a one mile radius of me, it would find its way to me. One of the cats that I have now showed up in my driveway, looking pretty beat up. I took her in without a second thought. My other cat (that I have had for over 15 years, didn't like her at first, but now they are friends.

I would definitely keep it. I do that with every stray animal I find. I have three adopted dogs, one of which I found in a similar situation. She was five or six weeks old, sitting on my front walk, whining pathetically early one morning, and I kept her, fed her, pinned her up on my back deck. I later tried to find if she belonged to someone, and after being unsuccessful, I kept her. I still have her today and she is an excellent dog. Best friends with my other two dogs and anyone who walks into the house! Haha. She is very smart and very friendly. And best of all, I didn't have to pay for her, ha. I also have a cat I rescued in a similar way named Jake. Good luck with your new kitten!

awww!! I love kittys :) I would keep it in my house first of all. then i would put up posters saying "found kitten" and if no one claimed it I would either keep it or give it to some one who would take care of it.

Hiya Ritz..I'm a sucker for tiny kittens so I would be taking him/her in and bottle-feeding it till old enough to eat solid food. By then, I'll be so dang attached to the lil' critter that I wouldn't be giving him/her up. lol Don't think Zippy will be letting you find the lil' one a new home either. He's got himself a friend and would prolly smack you to bits if you even thought of finding his buddy a new home. lol

aww:) well,i'd bring it inside and put it in my room where it would be safe (i have 3 older cats)look for the mom,and then go get some kitten formula.if it did not seem ill,as soon as it got some food in it i'd take it to the vet for a checkup. i would keep it though.3 cats,4 cats..what's the difference? i would wait til it was a bit older to introduce it to the older cats,just to be safe.my calico is a bit punchy.

[b]I'd do what I always do. Kitten or grown cat, I'd take it in, & if I couldn't find a home for it, I'd keep it. I don't care if it breaks the rules, I'd still keep it, love it, & make it forget all about the harsh streets. Maggiepie "WHERE'S THE BIRTH CERTIFICATE?"[/b]

Hi Ritz, Awwwww poor little kitten, if I found a kitten, I woud do the same as you and take it to the vet to get him all checked up and then keep him as I have two cats and garden so it will be just find. Hope you can get the pics, i'd love to see him. Tamara

I'm a sucker for hard-luck cases, so even though I don't really care for cats in general, I'd most likely take it in until I could find its owner. If I couldn't find it, the poor thing would likely have a home with me for the rest of its life unless I was lucky enough to rehome it. I have a really hard time turning down an animal in need. In this house, we have 2 rescued dogs, one cat, 4 guinea pigs and 2 hamsters all from the shelter or bad situations. People being irresponsible and not spaying and neutering their pets is such a huge problem globally, and a really sad one at that.

if i ever found a kitten i would take her to the mspca so some family can go there and adopt her and id know she would be well loved fed and taken care of
