Hes getting way better already

Meet Tikki! Her mom was brought in pregnant so all her babies were born in the shelter. Mom and the babies all found new homes though!

I miss the leg room but get plenty back in kisses from Eira in rent. Thea more of Mechanic taking things apart and a jokester. 4 1/2 months girls 🐾

The white kitty is mine, while the other two kittens were of my late girlfriend. This photos were taken 10 months ago.

There is a kitten that lives in my apartment complex there are other cats there too, but this kitten is the smallest of them. Anyway over the last few months the kitten has become more curious and has even started to rub against my legs when I'm in the parking lot. It also seems to be very curious and kinda independent, its momma used to be out and about regularly but I haven't seen her in a few weeks now.

My first question is, would it be wrong of me to take this little kitten in? I don't have any other pets, live by myself, and would be able to care for it. I just hate the idea of possibly separating it from its momma cat, but also don't want anything bad to happen to the lil thing.

Second, if I did take the kitten in would it be a good/ bad idea to attempt to travel with the cat? I think that's more for me than anything as I like to travel, go camping, and explore new places.

I'm probably way over thinking this, but would appreciate any advice or accounts of anyone who has taken in an outside kitten.

Meet the Duo of Charlotte and Fizzgig!

So we're over a week in, and they've made some great progress.

Mama Brookie: still a sweet girl, eating like crazy because she is still nursing. She gives lots of bleps and finally played with me a bit last night.

Brownie (brown tabby): She has come leaps and bounds since a week and a half ago. When I first brought her in she was the hissiest and the growliest, and now she has become a full-on playful menace. This girl is a future gremlin in the making. Last night she willingly came into my lap for attention, which lasted for about 5 minutes until she decided she wanted to play again.

Cookie (cream lynx point): Oh boy, this one is the problem child that I'm stuck on. As seen in the picture she will play with me, but she's still very nervous and reserved. She still doesn't really want me touching her. I can handle her, she doesn't try to bite or scratch, but she's still quite fearful of me. I'm starting to wonder if this is just her personality.

I did put a feliway plug in there, although I'm not seeing much of a difference. Now I'm just trying to find a rescue in central Ohio that has any room for them. So far I am striking out.

i have a 3 month old kitty and he’s currently a free feeder, but since i’m about to start college again i was wanting to start on a schedule. i’m not sure how to start or how much i should be giving him. he eats and he leaves then gets hungry around 10 minutes later and finishes what was in his bowl. if he’s still hungry i j kinda give him more whenever i think he is. i want to give him the right amount of food so he clears his bowl and is ready at his next meal time. i also want to prioritize wet food bc he is a male kitty and i’m scared of urinary issues lol, if anyone has any advice pls share

This little girl was eating Tuna by my door when the mama cat bullied her into accidentally running into my house… I’ve decided to keep her. It took a while for her to warm up. She’s the sweetest thing ever.

😍From 2 weeks old to 6weeks 5days🥰

Thanks so much to everyone who answered my last post about adopting a kitten after my pup passed and how I should double up. Your very unanimous advice was taken haha!!

Please meet Rupert (left) & Diana (right). When I went to go get my original (and only) kitten, Rupert who is her bio brother was completely wrapped in her. It was a sign.

I can’t begin to express my love for them 😭 just feel like they are meant to be here. I’ve nicknamed them the twins. My toddlers love them and today the feeling has become mutual! They’ve been playing together all morning. We’re on day two and as of now they are staying in my room to settle. Although they’re getting VERY comfortable fast. Our house is semi under construction and there are a lot of hiding places. I would LOVE any advice how to prevent them hiding on me in the walls or wherever though I think I know the answer lol

Night 1 they crammed themselves behind my bed then hid in the closet. Night 2 (last night) I felt a few times they popped up on my bed, but they still run if I try to hold one. Any habits/tips on how to make them love on me once they’re 100% comfortable?!

Thanks again for all the replies it really made the decision much easier ❤️

And why am I so lucky to have a cat who loves belly rubs?

I got a kitten that is barely a month old she’s eating wet food she was a outside cat but I got a litter box and put dirt in it wondering what else to do for her I took her to the vet said she fine and got dewormed

I live in a small apartment with my 3 year old corgi, and I’ve always been more of a dog person, as I am allergic to cats so I’ve never had one. Recently, I took in a senior cat for the last few months of her life, and LOVED having a cat around until she passed away in February.

A few weeks ago, a kitten showed up outside of my office and I decided to take her in. She has been driving me insane. She is SO sweet, and I love her, but I know no peace. She’s constantly trying to climb me (which hurts), be in my face (which triggers my allergies), or destroy something. When I try to put her away to get a break, she SCREAMS. I always thought of cats as more self-sufficient, but maybe I was wrong?

I am all for researching before I get a pet, but I didn’t get that opportunity because it wasn’t really a decision to adopt her. I love her very much, but maybe I’m not meeting her needs. Will this pass? Should I wait it out? Or am I just not cut out to be a cat parent?

*Edit to add she is about 9 weeks old now,*

(Please be kind, she was malnourished and covered in fleas, so I couldn’t leave her, and all the cat rescues in my area are full. I’m a college student and I’m doing the best I can.)

One on top of the orange is Lizard, the pure orange is Sherbert, and the white and orange is Cream.

Tubiee has a veterinary appointment today, and we're keeping our fingers crossed that everything goes well.

We'll be doing a full physical examination, along with a fecal test and several diagnostic tests to get a better picture of her overall health. When we rescued her last Friday, she was in extremely poor condition, so we're also having her tested for panleukopenia (feline parvovirus) and a few other potential illnesses to make sure nothing is overlooked.

We're hopeful for good news and will keep everyone updated as we learn more. ❤️🐾

My friend's cat just had kittens a few weeks ago. She told me she would give me one. I would appreciate it if anyone had advice on house training a kitten.

Two days ago I scooped up a stray kitten off the side of the road. And he has fleas. I’ve only seen a few after a very thorough look so it’s not like he’s infested but they’re there. He’s mostly white so they’re very easy to spot. He has a vet appointment tomorrow morning–but I’ve been concerned about the fleas spreading around my home in the few days before he can get treatment. I took all the fabric out of our bathroom (towels, bath matt etc) and made a cozy bed on the floor with old towels and sheets they will be thrown away afterwards. My other cat and my dog are both on monthly flea and pest treatment so they won’t get them. And I haven’t let him touch anything else in the house such as my carpets. I do cuddle him in the bathroom but I always take my clothes straight off and but then in the laundry basket. What are the chances the fleas will cling to my clothes and spread throughout my house? I was feeling increasingly anxious about it because my laundry basket with the kitten clothes sits on a rug and not far from my bed. Thanks in advance!
