We have a new house-guest!


Pics to follow, I promise!
I couldn't resist and am now foster mum to a teeny weeny baby! He's approx 24-48 hours old, still got his umbilical cord attached!
We had a call from a member of the public who had heard him crying in some bushes in a local supermarket car park, one of the girls went and picked him up and brought him in.
Still very early days but he's a little fighter, very strong and suckling well from a bottle. It's totally crazy-I'm struggling with just working full time and pregnancy related anaemia but I so loved my past foster babies and I can't help feeling I won't get a chance to do it once the human baby arrives
Will keep you all updated on progress, no name as yet-I never name them for at least a week.
Currently weighs in at 79g

Re: We have a new house-guest!


I think mum must've been in the process of moving them and he got left behind, or she got scared-it's a very busy carpark. We went back to look for her and/or any other babies but no luck I asked the lady who found him to let us know if mum is found but I think to be honest he will be staying and we will find him a new home once he's ready.

How lucky the wee one was found! He couldn't have a better foster mum than you, PL, he'll do fine and thrive, I'm sure. Can't wait for pics.

What SORT of baby is he, PP??? I'm guessing kitten!

Look forward to pics too. If he has a chance, it's with you.

Sorry Angie, I thought putting it cat chat would give it away!
Will upload pics in a minute.
