Abandoned kitten?
Hello
This morning my son informed me that when he went to the mailbox around 8`ish , he heard a kitten crying somewhere outside. A few hours later my husband went into the garage and heard a kitten crying. We followed the sound and it lead us to the window box under the garage window......it is very protected and hidden by evergreens. We found one dirty, but seemingly healthy kitten. The eyes are almost completely opened, it is active, chubby and warm. I have checked on it every 15 minutes in hopes that the mother would be there, but she never is. The kitten alternates between crying and sleeping. My question is this......how do you know when a kitten has been abandoned and needs human intervention? I called one animal shelter and they weren`t very helpful and seemed more concerned in making it clear that they couldn`t help this kitten. They are predicting rain and temps in the 50`s tonight, so I am concerned. Thanks for any info.

I would definitely take the kitten inside tonight. Here is a link with more information about orphan kittens: http://tinyurl.com/ooxt It's important to feed him kitten replacement milk which you can get at most pet supply stores. Good luck and let us know what happens.

I agree. Take him inside. Evenif he has a mother, he shouldn't be wandering
around outside. Gail "PawsForThought" wrote in message ... From: (Jackie) My question is this......how do you know when a kitten has been abandoned and needs human intervention?
