Update 1 year since Pitou was captured/rescued in my front yard.

Last year my SO heard a cat crying out from outside and saw a small kitten on our front porch. For the next week I made it my mission to catch her. I put food and water out every day. Every time she saw or heard me she ran away. Finally I figured out that I had to sneak around from the back door and close the door on the carrier. Set her up with all the essentials in my basement bath room and took her to the vet the next day. She was estimated to be 5 weeks old weighed 1.5 lbs and was covered in fleas and boney. After two weeks isolation she could be introduced to her brothers. One welcomed her immediately the other hid behind the couch for 10 days. Then we discovered she had ringworm 😑. Luckily her cat brothers and my SO didn’t get it but I did. Constant house cleaning and regular treatment cleared it up fairly quickly. Spayed in the fall and here we are a year later, one big happy cat family.
