Friendly Update

Today my sister woke early in the morning and checked on the kitten. She started to look up dozens of numbers off the Internet in hopes some animal shelter would take this cat in and treat it. After calling about seventeen animal shelters, nobody was willing to take it. The shelters either said, we have too many animals already, or we may have to put it down. This was very disappointing to hear, but we continued to search. This kitten had been in the kennel all night, and must have to use the bathroom terribly. So, we let it free on out deck, and gave it food and water. We figured since we are the ones who have been caring for it, it would stick around with us. My sister changed the towel that was in the kennel, making completely sure that she did not touch the kitten because of the risk of spreading disease. We noticed something on the back of it's neck. It looked as though there was a tic, and we really knew this cat was not healthy.

We took a large heavy dutie garbage bag and cover the outside of the kennel. Then we took a very old large comforter and covered it over that, then took several more garbage bags and cover that. This would provide warmth and water protection for the kitten, and at least we know it has shelter to go back to for rest.

We put the kennel towards the garage and put it's food their too. We can't take the kitten in, but we will provide it with food and comfort for the future.

This kittens natural instinct is to hunt for it's own food, so it will continue to wander. This is the most adorable little kitten, and I would never want to see anything happen to it.
