12/5/23 – A friend of 4 Paws 1 Heart, Dawn, woke up on November 30 to a tiny kitten screaming in her front yard. It took her 3 hours, but she finally caught the baby. Dawn thought that either someone dumped the kitten or the kitten got lost from her mother. All of the cats in Dawn’s community have been TNR’d so she wasn’t aware of any intact females nearby. Little ‘Mort’ was very dirty; she was given a bath and her ears were cleaned but she seemed to have an upper respiratory infection. Dawn said that she bought KMR and the poor baby had to learn how to eat heated, watered down pate. Mort kept trying to lap out of a bowl but was successful in eating off of Dawn’s finger.

Mort was taken to one of our partner vets where it was confirmed that she had an upper respiratory infection, an eye infection, and an ear infection. She is 9-10 weeks old. Mort was given medication for all of the infections and she will have a re-check on December 15 and if recovered fully she will be tested and vaccinated. An appointment will be made at a later date for her to be spayed. – diana
