    So I am NOT a cat person, I never really have been. But Hurricane Helene blew through my town (Anderson, SC) and displaced this little kitten from its mother. I found her in my yard crying, so walked around with her meowing for hours, trying to find its mama. No luck. I put posts up on Facebook and Instagram, seeing if anyone would take her off my hands. No one I know could take in the kitten.

    So I started feeding her and giving her attention and keeping her warm. She's a good little cat! I gotta keep her outside, but I'm doing. everything I can for her. I never thought I'd get attached to a cat, lol Just now reading that she's a Tortie. I can definitely see the sass already. Still haven't named her. Maybe Helene??

    My girl has a brown spot over her left eye too! Though it's a bit darker. Torties are great kitties, even if it's just a fur color, I feel like it comes with so much attitude.

    • BruceBoyde 2d ago • Oh yeah, that's definitely a tortie. If at all possible, make sure she gets into a vet at some point to be dewormed and whatnot; it's super common when they're young. And Helene is a great name!

    Possible Painter4 • 2d ago . If you're unable to keep her IN your home, please find a loving inside home for her. It's such a dangerous world out there for cats, as you now clearly see... She deserves a loving, warm, caring family inside... I know it might be hard tk let her go? But it's the best for her...

If its a girl and has a litter box she will not soil your environment. You probably can find free food and litter by calling the pet store and saying u found a stray.

She could have used a few more weeks with mom but she's in the right hands and will thrive. I got my tortie at 5 weeks. She was so attached to me. Slept on my neck and rubbed my face. She just needed love. My mom reminded me you can't spoil a baby!
