What would you do if you found a tiny kitten?  

You need to try and find the owner first try contacting the cat centres then if that fails and you cannot find the owners. You can either keep it or give it to a cat centre. You need to try and find the owners first though because they might be very upset.

hi ritz I would feed it, then I would have to find
a home for it as if I kept it here it would make my
rent go much higher, but I would find someone who could
afford a kitten and who would really love her and take
good care of her. some here have money to spare so could
afford the kitten then there are some home owners on this
street. I would find a home for the kitten.

We have one such cat. The litter was found under a house. They had been abandoned by the mother and they are so tiny they had to be bottle fed. My daughter is a vet tech and the kittens were distributed for care among the staff. She took hers back and forth to work, or we baby sat if she couldn't take her for that day. When "Kiddoe" got a bit older we took her in permanently. She's a beautiful dark gray and the only thing wrong with her is the very tip her tail has no fur because of ring worms she had when she was found.

At one point we had her brother who was the runt of the litter. Kiddoe was small, but he was teeny tiny. Both cats are doing fine and the runt is now twice the size of his sister. He lives with one of the vets.

I see from your profile that you're in Spain and presumably an expat Brit. I can't say that I like Spain or the Spanish very much myself and this account of animal cruelty (the trapping and shooting) has done nothing to improve my dislike of the country.

If it had been me, I'd have been out there at 3 am to get that kitten. It was to young to leave it's mother at 4 weeks old. You don't say if you had to bottle feed it, wich you'd have to do if it was only 4 weeks old. If it was already weaned when you found it, then it must have been older than 4 weeks old - 6 to 8 weeks at least.

Anyway, it's a lucky little kitty that you found it and took it in as it would certainly have died otherwise.

I would definitely keep it. I do that with every stray animal I find. I have three adopted dogs, one of which I found in a similar situation. She was five or six weeks old, sitting on my front walk, whining pathetically early one morning, and I kept her, fed her, pinned her up on my back deck. I later tried to find if she belonged to someone, and after being unsuccessful, I kept her. I still have her today and she is an excellent dog. Best friends with my other two dogs and anyone who walks into the house! Haha. She is very smart and very friendly. And best of all, I didn't have to pay for her, ha. I also have a cat I rescued in a similar way named Jake.

Good luck with your new kitten!

we were given a 3 week old last week and she's just started eating solid foods, not interested in the kitten milk without the bottle, but drinking water some too
she's 4 weeks now, but I don't have a current pix -

Hey Ritz! Good for you for taking in the little kitty! I
always want to take in every stray that I see, but I have
two 5 year old cats that are very territorial and know that
they would have a problem with it! I still think that if I
saw one like you described I would have to take it in and
take it to the vet and hope that Star & Luna would accept it
as their brother/sister! I just hate to see any baby left
alone outside ever!

I wouldn't be able to keep it because i am allergic to cats but i would definitely take it to the animal shelter.

i don't I'll be able to take care of it. I'll take it to the vet or animal shelter. Hopefully they can take care of it or find a family that can.

I would do exactly what you did.

Most of my pets throughout my life have been strays that I have taken in. My dad used to tell me if a stray was in a one mile radius of me, it would find its way to me.

One of the cats that I have now showed up in my driveway, looking pretty beat up. I took her in without a second thought. My other cat (that I have had for over 15 years, didn't like her at first, but now they are friends.
