Another customer of mine was outside her house and heard a kitten crying last Saturday. After a while, she realised it was coming from a garbage heap. She lifted the garbage bags and found the little kitten in a box...alone, and obviously abandoned. She thought it belonged to a cat who liked to hang out at her neighbor's home and so they decided to leave it at the porch, hoping the mother would take it back. The mother did not, even after several hours. She has no experience raising kittens this young so asked if I could help. So the little kitten has been with me almost a week now and we think she was abandoned from birth. Which would make her 6 days old today.

| Little kitten is a tortoiseshell and quite certainly a girl |
 |
| She is very active and loud when it's time to eat / pee / poo and isn't difficult |
 |
| She has a very very good appetite and drinks her milk without any fuss |
 |
| Fast asleep on her warm sock (filled with rice) |
She stays at our living hall where only Whisky, Cosmo and Ling move freely. My main concern would be that her immune system is weak as she didn't get her mother's milk (colostrum). The plan is for me to look after the kitten until it's old enough to eat on it's own and litter box trained then my customer will take her back for rehoming. If anyone's interested to adopt her, please leave me a comment.
I've been really tempted to call her Chewy as she looks a lot like Chewbacca from Star Wars. :) My customer called her Rubber Seed as she very much resembles one (her colours and size of her head). She'll most likely grow up to be very pretty like
Isabella. Anyone want to suggest names for her?
