So, in the beginning some two weeks ago or so a cat mom came to my yard with 5 kittens but I started to note that the mom sets aside or ignores one of her offspring that seems to have conjunctivitis and flu, so I started to take care of the kitten and it have improved a lot, but there’s something strange with she because basically stays in the same place all the day without moving. She’s not sick in the meaning that’s bad because she eats and plays and all those things, but honestly it worries me that something bad happens to her because of that so I’m determined to keep her in my house while she gets better and then I give her up for adoption, but I’m afraid of not finding someone who want to adopt her…

I already have enough cats for just one person and all of them were adopted in the same conditions as this kitten, but the difference is that I can’t have more cats, I simply can’t, the last time I did this I adopted a pregnant cat and I was supposedly to find a home to her kittens but my dad passed away just when I was going to give them for adoption and now I can’t find someone who wants to adopt them…

I know of some Facebook groups in my area where kittens are given up for adoption, and there seems to be quite a lot of demand. I’m willing to create a Facebook account just to find a home for that kitten but what if I can’t find anyone who wants her? Almost all my family already have cats so I doubt they want to adopt one more, and I also know of several vets where they accept kittens no older than 2 months to give them up for adoption, but I’ll be honest, maybe it’s a stupid thought but I would be very sad to take care of that kitten for a while and then leave her in a place where she won’t even have space to move and I don’t even know who would adopt her…

    Definitely reach out to local outreach, pet adoption, and humane society locations and groups in your area. Even if they can’t take in the kitten, they may have information and resources of those who can, like foster homes.

    This is very location specific. Contact your local animal rescue? SPCA / rspca / whatever it’s called where you are.
