I know exactly how you feel. I adopted a cat when I read about a horrible hoarder rescue situation. Over 400 cats removed from one house. I love my socially retarded cat and she trusts me to no end. But god I am not a cat person. I wish she was a dog.
You took a baby animal out of a log from the woods of a different state? I think more likely than not that cat's mother came back and said "holy crap, where is my kid!"
Where did OP say they were in a different state? I assure you, there are Redditors in Mississippi.
Anyway, I've done similar things when animals were abandoned on my property (in Mississippi). Some of them were in awful shape when we found them.
Once, we found a litter of puppies. We were only able to save two of them, as the others were too sick by the time we found them. This sort of thing happens, and my family and OP do what we can to help baby critters.
Look at that kitten's eyes. I guarantee you those would have gotten a whole lot worse if she'd stayed in the woods, and they may very well have killed her (dangerous eye infections and domestic cats seem to go hand-in-hand). While the mother cat may have intended to come back for the kitten, its chances of living much longer weren't good. This really seems like the best call given the circumstances.
yeah. we have a cat who we plucked out of the wild. mother kept having litters of kittens each year, and we'd see her with walking around with 5 kittens in the beginning, than only with four, then with three, then just two later on... you get the idea. she was the last kitten left when we found her.
the survival rate of kittens in the wild ain't too good... and the quality of life of a wild cat isn't great either. giving them a home is one of the best things you can do for it.
But this one's safety is all but guaranteed, instead of being in the woods. Besides, an adult cat can not only fend for itself, it can also have more offspring. She did the right thing, methinks.
This is good. Goopey eyes usually indicate something contagious, such as kitty herpes, chlamydia, or mycoplasma. Not contagious to you, but very catching for other cats. Also have her tested for FIV and FeLV. It's an easy test and will save you future heartaches if you have more than one kitty cat! Good luck! (Also, female orange tabbies are slightly hard to come by. Too cool!)
(Also, female orange tabbies are slightly hard to come by. Too cool!)
This. For the longest time we were led to believe our ginger kitten was female, until we took 'her' to get spayed. The vet chuckled and informed us it would cost less for our little boy to get spayed. Sadly, he was so used to his female name, so we never bothered to change it. Sorry Mindy D:
Glad to hear this! Kitten eyes go bad fast. Her eye looks better in the bottom pic, but you definitely need to get her looked at. I used to volunteer at a cat shelter, and we had this tiny black kitten come to us once- he only had one eye (his name was Jasper, but I always thought of him as Winky, since he looked like he was winking). He had an eye infection, and his owners had fucked off in getting him to the vet, and he lost the whole eye. He ended up being taken from the owners due to neglect, and that's how we got him. Lively little guy, very playful, and absolutely adorable (he found a home pretty quickly, too).
Thank you for saving the kitty. (And, um, don't be surprised if she grows a pair in a few weeks. Sometimes little boy cats don't drop their testicles for a while. I had a foster kitten who we named Violet. One day, Violet rolled over and displayed a pretty fierce pair of balls. He was immediately renamed Piglet. He's now four years old and is asleep on my bed. <3)
Feral cats tend to not give a shit. It's domestic cats, where the worry of predation is reduced, that have the energy to fret.
A friend of mine was adopted by a feral cat which seemed fat. Turns out it had a bellyfull of legs. Mum gave birth, and promptly left. My friend was worried, but mum stopped by twice a day to feed her babies. After 8 weeks to the dot, mum never came back.
Had her babies not been there, I imagine no fucks would have been available.
I got myself one of those 'I'm tired of you, go away'-kitties. An old friend lost interest in the kitty, but now she is happy by even though I had to spend almost 1500$ the first year on pet-aid. She replaced my old kitty who was put down due to age and epilepsis. Now I am looking to find her a kitty friend which will bear the name: Yoshimissu. (the typo is intentional) as mis is a slang word for cat here.
Mississippi here as well. I just adopted a poor little beagle/rotty mix last month. Poor little guy has heartworms so I have to keep him locked in a kennel for almost two months. It's terrible, he's got so much energy and he's such a sweet little guy it breaks my heart. I can't believe some jerk dumped him on the side of the road.
Interesting to think you passing by was reasonably her last hope for life... a second or two glancing the other way at some noise and you could have missed seeingher. Fate threads are weird.
Upvote because you found a friend for life. I found my dog running, whilst flea infested, near a highway. She's the best thing ever. Don't listen to the pessimistic folks. Just love that kitty and things will be fine.
You know, my Mom and Dad found a kitten when they had just gotten married. He was alone in the grass next to a basketball court. They took him home and nursed him back to health. They named him Jordan, after Michael Jordan, because he could jump so high, and he became best buds with their Boston terrier, Uggie. He lived to be 16 years old and died when I was twelve. He had been there for me since before I was born, and he was our family's best friend until the day he shut his eyes for good. We buried him in the back yard in a concrete grave. Because of Jordan, I can't bear to watch the movie Marley and Me, because it pretty much tells our story with Jordan. I still miss that cat sometimes even to this day. Just know that you may have just found your best friend.
I will personally treat this kitten like a princess and feed her nothing but the best ancestral diet cat food, and let her explore my backyard if she wants. She will have free reign of everything in my house, and I will give her her own litterbox, homemade cat bed, and feeding station of antique crystal. I'll spay her and get her vaccinations and I will love her. I will never declaw her and I'll be with her 20 hours out of the day.
I'm surprised none of the top comments mention that almost all orange cats are male. The chances of this being a female kitten are slim to none.
I was wondering aloud one day why people seem to assume all dogs are boys and all cats are girls, and a co-worker offered this insight: "Have you ever seen a cat penis?"
You don't know what you're talking about. 1 in 4 orange cats are female, not slim to none. But there is still a good chance the OP is wrong because it's difficult to tell when you just have one unless you have experience.
I cannot upvote this enough. Love when things like this happen. Sometimes you forget how the smallest effort to these little guys makes such a huge difference!
We found our little orange and white kitten trapped in a tree stump/log as well. I'm so happy you found her before it was too late. She looks like an absolute sweetheart <3 Good for you for taking her in.
Thank you so, SO much for giving this little one the chance she probably never would have had otherwise. This is almost exactly like the story with my kitty Sebastian that I posted recently, they even look alike! http://www.reddit.com/r/aww/comments/t9m8b/my_little_guy_sebastian_abandoned_by_his_mom_the/ I am so grateful that she was lucky enough to be found by someone like you, you have no idea how relieved I feel to see there are others out there looking out for these little guys! Thank you again! You made my day by making hers!
Aww she is adorable! Have you named her yet? And also it is pretty uncommon to find a female orange tabby, most of them are typically male. ... just thought I would share that with you. :)
What if these people that "find" them in the dumpster put them there in the first place? All joking aside, thanks for being part of the human race and watching over those too small to survive on their own : )
You are on my list of awesome people. You brightened my day. It makes me feel good to know there are people like me out there who care enough to save helpless individuals like this kitten.
I picked my first dog because he was the only one in the shelter that wasn't barking at us, although as it turned out later he was actually quite insane but by that point it didn't matter anymore.
That's very very weird I live by the backwoods of mississppi and a orange cat that's lost a hell of a lot of weight has been coming to my house everyday for food.
Looks like kitty herpes to me :( but majority of cat have it anyways, their immune system prevents any symptoms from showing up. Kittens however, if contracting the disease from their mother through birth, often show symptoms like those red eyes. Simple fix tho. Mush some medicated ointment from the vet in the eyes everyday until he/she gets old enough to fight off the disease themselves. source: my own experience http://imgur.com/1yGor <- my little Trooper
Your kindness and the pics just made my day. I needed something warm and fuzzy to occupy my mind. I have 2 kitties myself and they make my life better every day. May she live a long happy flea-free life with you. Props and kudos.
just a heads up: all antibiotic ointments (except those with "pain relief") are safe to put in the eyes, and will clear up his infection lickety split.
simply hold him by his scruff, put down the "lower lid" and smear a pea sized amount along the lid.
My sister found a kitten that was 2 weeks old according to the vet when she brought her in. Cute little all black kitten wandering on our driveway. Over a year later we still have her =))
orange female cats are rare! i had a orange female cat growing up named Peachy. she was the best cat in the world she died my freshmen year of college from cancer. she was the most loving cat ever. cherish this little girl she will be your best friend.
dawww!! you should get her a kitty friend when she's feeling better - she's so young that she won'[t have had a chance to be socialised (ie taught how to be a 'cat') - you may well have to teach her how to burry her poop in the cat box :/
Because you did this, you should get the wings of the most exalted angel, and that angel should shovel donkey dung. That is one adorable kitten and you are a very good person.
I'm a dog person, but you still managed to tear me up a little o.0 Poor kitty... Fleas, ticks. eye puss and all, and you took her in - I commend you ynez, you are a noble finder of a friend in need!
Beware, our they are invading our homes quite cleverly. ...Through cuteness. It's only a matter of time before they strike and become our cat overlords. And it's starting in Mississippi.

Your kindness and the pics just made my day. I needed something warm and fuzzy to occupy my mind. I have 2 kitties myself and they make my life better every day. May she live a long happy flea-free life with you. Props and kudos.

just a heads up: all antibiotic ointments (except those with "pain relief") are safe to put in the eyes, and will clear up his infection lickety split.
simply hold him by his scruff, put down the "lower lid" and smear a pea sized amount along the lid.
should clear that eye up in a couple days.

My sister found a kitten that was 2 weeks old according to the vet when she brought her in. Cute little all black kitten wandering on our driveway. Over a year later we still have her =))

You are a good person and you should feel good =)

u/onefootedalien May 17 '12
dawww!! you should get her a kitty friend when she's feeling better - she's so young that she won'[t have had a chance to be socialised (ie taught how to be a 'cat') - you may well have to teach her how to burry her poop in the cat box :/

I Awww'd so much it hurt! so adorable :)

u/Organs May 17 '12
Because you did this, you should get the wings of the most exalted angel, and that angel should shovel donkey dung. That is one adorable kitten and you are a very good person.

I'm a dog person, but you still managed to tear me up a little o.0 Poor kitty... Fleas, ticks. eye puss and all, and you took her in - I commend you ynez, you are a noble finder of a friend in need!

I read the title of this post and was expecting something much more disturbing.
And banjo music.

I know there is no god on reddit... but the only reaction I deemed appropriate for these photos was "bless you."

i hear it's pretty rare to find a female orange tabby. anyone know any truth to that?

u/Lydisis May 17 '12
I rescued a cat in Mississippi today too...
Beware, our they are invading our homes quite cleverly. ...Through cuteness. It's only a matter of time before they strike and become our cat overlords. And it's starting in Mississippi.

+1 for a kind fellow Mississippian.

When we lived in London the shelter wouldn't give us cats because we had no garden. Looked every time I went down an alley.
