So, I saw an ad online for someone who found a kitten whose momma and littermates had all been eaten by a neighbor's dog. The cats were feral and living under a porch. After they heard the commotion they went out and found the remains of the family but heard meows and found this little guy seemingly healthy.
I called them, since I know people who would be willing to help out, and they said they didn't really know what they were doing and were going to wait until morning to find someone. I knew the kitten (3-4 days old) would die by morning if not cared for, so I took him in even though I didn't really know what to do. But, the people bought some KMR and a small bottle for him and I gave him two small feedings when I got home and put a hot water bottle wrapped in a towel in the box with him.
I knew of some people in the local area who could help and one of them took him in and has now decided to raise him and keep him! She's currently a stay at home mom and was looking for a kitten come spring, and has bottle fed animals (as well as her kids) before so it was a good match!
Buuut enough blathering, she had plans to go out to dinner and asked if I could babysit the little guy for a few hours. So I took some pictures and thought I'd share!
