Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / May 2007Purrayers for a foundling ittybitty...
A friend who lives in Tampa heard scratchings and scrabblings in the roof at work... and when they pulled off a ceiling panel to investigate they caught sight of a black cat fleeing the scene very fast, and out fell a teensy-tiny ittybitty kitty (luckily she caught it!) She thinks its only about ten days old, and she's going to try and hand-rear it but because of how young it is you know how hard THAT is! Can we have purrayers for little Boq to thrive so he can become cat #5 in her household? > A friend who lives in Tampa heard scratchings and scrabblings in the > roof at work... and when they pulled off a ceiling panel to [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > is!

Lots of purrs for rearing success. > A friend who lives in Tampa heard scratchings and scrabblings in the > roof at work... and when they pulled off a ceiling panel to [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > is!

That would be my first choice; catch the momma and reunite the bitty. Of course, I'd take both of them if I had my druthers, then make sure momma cat got spayed later.

Momma kitty legged it as fast as she could. >>> A friend who lives in Tampa heard scratchings and scrabblings in the >>> roof at work... and when they pulled off a ceiling panel to [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] > > Momma kitty legged it as fast as she could. Okay. Poor bitty. Oh, and my purrs were implied, of course :) >>> A friend who lives in Tampa heard scratchings and scrabblings in the >>> roof at work... and when they pulled off a ceiling panel to [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Momma kitty legged it as fast as she could. Sometimes ferals have kittens stashed in more than one nest.

My aunt and uncle got a couple of kittens the very same way. Inspected a noise in a drop ceiling, and Rocco and Ace fell out on them. >She thinks its only about ten days old, and she's going to try >and hand-rear it but because of how young it is you know how hard THAT >is!

I do agree that trying to find the mother cat is a good idea; There is no better creature for raising their kittens than the mother cat. Also definitely agree about trying to spay Momma if and when she can be located.

Can we have purrayers for little Boq to thrive so he can become > cat #5 in her household? Awww. Lots of purrs for the ittybitty. It's lucky that kittens are amazingly resilient. I raised a litter of 4 once that still had their umbilical cords. They're pretty easy to raise, just lots of TLC and patience. I'm so glad your friend is giving the kitten a chance. Was the mom too wild to catch? Sherry piggy-backing here. Purrs and prayers that the little one survives and finds a good forever home.

Can we have purrayers for little Boq to thrive so he can become > cat #5 in her household? Lots and lots of purrs and best wishes, Polonca and Soncek Purrs for the bitty. I must admit I'm a bitty jealous-- having raised Jona from day 3 of her life! (Jona is saying, "No way, Meowmie, no more bitties-- I'm the BABY here.)

Can we have purrayers for little Boq to thrive so he can become > cat #5 in her household? Purrs for the little one. I have reared tiny mammals successfully, so may I offer a little advice? Firstly, they need to suckle, so don't feed from a dropper. Find a teat bottle to suit. Secondly, do *not* feed to appetite. Take the teat away after a few minutes and feed again in a couple of hours the same. They can suckle every few minutes on the mother, but after a few hours they are so hungry that their stomachs will swell if allowed to suck to appetite and this is bad news, they will die if you let them do this. Keep the bottle and teat as clean as for a human baby. Use wet cotton wool to wipe the baby's genitalia to allow it to pee and poo after each feed. Tweed Purrs for the Oliver Twistlet. May he always have more of everything, most of all love and life.
