found a kitten

[dawn]

ok, i think i screwed up. My husband found a kitten in the brush that wasnt moving or meowing. Thinking the kitten was dead i got a small shoe box to bury it. About a minute or so of putting it in the box it srarted meowing, i put it back, but momma has not come back for it. It is very very young, blue eyes still. I have no clue who the momma is, but its been about five hours now. Should i just leave it to fend for itself or take it to emergency vet in waldorf? I left a message for Kaitlen but she hasnt called back.

And can i give it tunafish juice. I am now even really second guessing myself because now i wonder if its even old enough to walk..... Ugh

Scan back to a Thread I started Raising Kittens in July . I got plenty of feedback and advise , however you can't leave it to fend for itself

Sorry I could not help you Dawn.. I am swamped with baby squirrels.
Irene could not have at a more worse time: Baby Season (part 2)
As a rehabber for Maryland, I have a duty to the wildlife as there are not many of us compared to those in dog and cat rescue.
Hope all worked out.

That is so true. I was considering doing the training for wildlife rehab but don't even have time to get trained!

Thanks, as it turned out the kitten was injured, it had a broken leg.
