    LrdOfTheBlings 38 min. ago I just want to add that you can bring him to a shelter and then foster him if you're not able to have a cat right now long-term. The shelter provides food, vet care, and litter. Then if you decide to adopt you just pay the adoption fee to the shelter. I did this with a litter of three kittens that I found and ended up saving a lot of money. I adopted one to be my existing cat's buddy and the other two got adopted by a friend.

    introverted365 5 hr. ago Put out some water see if she laps it. If there's a convenience store get some canned cat food. See if they have a kitten version. Try that. Otherwise give lots of cuddles and await instructions from vet.

    FLRocket Baby 3 hr. ago Speaking of water, a tip that I found really helpful when I was a brand-new cat owner: put the water a little ways away from the food, like on the other side of the room. A lot of cats don't like their water to be close to their food. My first cat wouldn't drink water at all until a more experienced friend suggested I move her bowl, and it worked perfectly!
