Saved a Kitten? Female
Default Saved a Kitten?

I was driving home from the dog park when I noticed in the other lane a pile of fur, not moving. I hate the Idea of dead animals being squished under car wheels, so I stopped the car and was about to move it to the side of the road. I had this sense that it was still alive, so I scooped it up and put it in my coat, not thinking of blood or guts.

One I got out of traffic, I saw it was a tortois shell kitten, maybe 6 weeks old. It was in a total coma, but alive.

I found it (her) on the 12/24. I put her in a fish tank with a heating pad. She pooped major stinky poop, so I figured it was a sign she was dying. 12/25 she pooped some blood. Still in a coma, but her tail twitched and she held on to things. Gave her water a few times. She held it down.

12/26 I started to bottle feed with goats milk. Still isolation with heating pad. Eyes looked a bit more "aware" offered a bit of wet canned cat food. Drags herself with her paws. I cut her nails. Clip the hair around her butt so she won't get messy. She poops. No blood.

12/27 to 12/28 gradual regaining of senses, appitite, ability to walk somewhat. She walks in circles with her head tilted. Theis is a sure sign of brain damage. But from everything I've read this condition will get better as time goes on.

I think she will always be special needs.

I've decided to name her "Noel."

I'll post a picture as soon as I can. My camera fried, and due to the holidays I am not getting steady paychecks.
