The Kitten Chronicles

So there was a kitten out front of my work building last week. Tiny li'l thing... didn't even have her eyes open yet. But she certainly had some strong vocal chords.

After much drama throughout the whole building (we have a pretty substantial staff) and rushing to PetCo for kitten formula and then rushing around trying to find something to poke a viable hole in the bottle nipple (these things don't come pre-poked?), the kitten finally got her fill and promptly passed out in the arms of her new mom.

Said new mom just came by our department to let us know how the li'l one is doing at home. Of course, she has to be fed every 4-6 hours or so, and the whole family is in on her 24-hour care. It has already been projected that she is going to be spoiled rotten. :)

Also... turns out somebody found the rest of the litter just up the hill from here. And well cared for, so Momma's still in the picture. It's kind of a busy area, so we're not sure if she was trying to move them to where we found our li'l presumed orphan, or the other way around. Either way, the litter is now no longer in that location, so we can just hope Momma is still searching for an ideal home. I feel kinda bad that she had a kitten kidnapped, as it were, but all we knew at the time was that the li'l one was alone and hungry and LOUD. And she's in a good home now. :)
