Howdy there, feline fam. We've heard some crazy stories here in our time at I Can Has Cheezburger. A cat going viral for bringing their owner a leaf that they "hunted" every day, kittens being found in sewer drains and inside walls, a cat being returned for being "too cuddly"…the list goes on and on. However, this might be one of the craziest. Definitely in the top five. You're prrrobably furmiliar with delivery guys getting crazy tips, but have you ever heard of getting tipped with a kitten?

What are you supposed to do when someone just shoves a kitten in your hands and then closes the door? There's nothing left to do except take the fluffy kitty home and try to figure everything out on the go. We can say one thing for certain, if they were willing to give the kitten away like that, the cat is better off with their new hooman than they were before. Scroll down to read the incredibly wholesome "adoption" story below!

    Craziest DoorDash tip of all time; ADVICE NEEDED

    So I was out doordashing earlier tonight when I got to a certain couple's house. While giving them their order, the husband basically shoved this kitten into my hands, saying they found it in the shed and couldn't take care of it. Bl ding heart that I am, I couldn't fight back much. Upon taking it home and getting a closer look, I think it's about 4 weeks old. I've haphazardly thrown together a room for it in the bathroom with a small litter pan and plenty of towels to cozy up in. We were also

    What would you do if someone just randomly handed you a kitten? First, we would be totally shocked. Like, what just happened? But then, after realizing that we get to keep the cute, fluffy thing for ourselves, we would jump for joy. But alas, the cat distribution system never picks us for things like this. Always the bridesmaid, never the bride, as they say. Or in this case, always the I Can Has Cheezburger writer, and never the one telling the story (it just doesn't have the same ring to it).

    lucky enough to be able to get some formula from a local emergency vet hospital. I have never taken care of a kitten this young. I have literally just moved into this apartment less than a week ago and also have my adult cat here who, unsurprisingly, is not thrilled about our new little tenant. Please give all the advice you can offer! As an aside, I've decided to call it Dasher (both to reference the reindeer and our fateful meeting lol). I tried my best to it, but due to how

    fluffy it is plus the fact that it had a bit of crusted to its bottom (that I did manage to clean up), I just am not able to tell at this time. Thank you all for whatever helpful tips you can offer!

    We say this about nearly every kitten, but black cat kittens are the cutest. They're like tiny little soot sprites, all black fur with just big eyes and four tiny feetsies. We're sorry for everything you had to go through before finding your new hooman, but don't worry, things are looking up! You have a heartwarming hooman who loves you, an older sibling that, once they warm up to you, is going to be your best friend and teach you all about ordering hoomans around. It's going to be great!

    • Slow_Cherry8438 4d ago . That's your kitty now! At that young age, you have to gently wipe their bottoms with a damp warm towel a little while after they feed as their mom would typically lick their bottoms to stimulate pee/bowel movements. I found my kitty in an old tire in a ditch at 4 weeks old and had to formula feed and make sure he went potty.

    Ok-Celebration-2944 • 4d ago. Jesus H...OP thank you so much for basically saving this little one's life. On the one hand, this kitten has ended up with someone who truly cares for them...so that's great. But what kind of a hole just dumps a kitten on a complete stranger and says "Your problem now!"? I'm trying to focus on the good part, but I can't believe how people are. Again OP, you are amazing for saving "lil bro or sis".

    BluChipmunk77 • 4d ago • This kitty is older than 4 weeks old. Try looking up the kitten. progression chart (has pics). My guess is this kitty is six or seven weeks old and fully weaned. So no formula needed, just soft kitten pate and kitten kibble. Cute kitty, definitely a keeper!

    Rare-Wrangler-5219 4d ago • • That kitten is at least 6 weeks old from what I can see, so should be weaning and moving on to mashed food that's been wetted down with kitten milk or wet pate.

    You may still need to keep an eye and make sure it's going to the toilet. Since it has crusties keep an eye and make sure the little kitten doesn't have an upset tummy. Giardia is common in kittens and is also zoonotic! Wash hands after handling little! Playful interaction from you and slow introduction to the older cat should help ease things along.

    Get little one to a veterinarian for vaccines, snap tests, and flea treatment. Flea anemia is possible in kittens, it takes as little as 7 fleas to make them anemic, it can cause death. Do not get the stuff over the counter (usually these products are less effective), get the stuff from the vet for at least the first 2-4 treatments. It may be worth doing a dawn dish soap bath for

    fleas before taking your kitten in by putting a ring of soap around the kittens neck and then gently scruffing the kitten and dunking the body into the warm water (best to do this in a sink). Fleas will try to run up the kitten so the ring of soap around the neck prevents that. You want to be sure the baby has warm cuddles after. Fleas can be deadly, but also live in carpet and be HIGHLY EXPENSIVE to get rid of. You don't want fleas.

    Get pet insurance BEFORE you go to the vet and account for any waiting period (sometimes 7-10 days). Enjoy your new pet, good luck!

    Poethegardencrow • 4d ago • Well if four weeks, this kitten needs lactose free milk, then slowly start with mixing wet food with milk/ or dry food with milk, then just watch it grow and love you. Check kitten lady socials she knows more helped me raise this one she is 6 now.

    This was my uber treat a few days ago! Was delivering someone's food when this little guy fell out of someone's car. Fastest u turn ever. Stopped traffic and plucked her out of the middle of the road.

    _thewayshegoes • 4d ago. Trust me, if they're the type of people to do something so anti- social as to force a kitten upon a delivery driver, then they're to unhinged to be taking care of pets. That cat is farrrrr better off with you.
