RE: Kitten Advice, please

Can you get a live trap? Maybe borrowed from the vet or an animal shelter?
Around here the feed stores also sell them. Put in the tuna, kitty walks in,
trap closes - then you can bring it in where it's safe.

Subject: [CHAT] Kitten Advice, please

A kitten was at my doorstep at 6:30 this morning. I've spent hours trying to

get to know it, leaving several servings of tuna in a dish for it so that it

can eat (obviously very hungry and meowing), and haven't been able to get 
close enough to catch it. I picked up some cat food on my way home from 
physical therapy this afternoon and will try that. The kitten has gobbled 
everything I've given it as soon as I left the area.

My latest encounter led to the kit being terrified by Henrietta II (Rhode 
Island Red Chicken) who came running to mama to see what goodies were going 
to come her way.

I'm exhausted and the kit is so very small, and there are lots of big storms

coming. I'd like to get the poor little one into a dry and safe spot.

I also have two dogs that don't know diddly about cats except to chase feral

cats out of the yard - that habit courtesy of an adoptee.  I don't know 
whether they haven't noticed the kit, or whether it still has that baby 
smell that seems to give kits and pups immunity.

Help, please.
