New Kitten.

Meet... well, she doesn't have a name yet, but here she is!

Isn't she the cutest kitten? Look at that face!

This little girl is an intake from an independent rescuer who is a caretaker for several colonies. Originally, there were at least 3 kittens in one of her colonies (from a mom she didn't catch/TNR in time) but unfortunately this little girl is the only one she was able to get.

Since she's untested, we have her isolated in an extra bedroom- in a crate so she's easier to wrangle. The crate is covered in blankets so it's smaller and cozier- cats have an easier time adjusting to smaller spaces at first. There's a litterbox, a water bowl and a milk crate sitting on its side, with towels on the inside and on top so it's more comfortable (that's where she's perching here).

We're assuming she's about 3 months old. Generally, the prime time for socialization of kittens off the street is 6 - 10 weeks. Being 2 weeks above the "prime" window, it may take a little extra time to have her come around. Having socialized kittens of various ages, let me tell you- it's amazing the difference a few weeks of age makes with these scared kids! Both in terms of how amazingly scared of humans they are, and how quickly they come along.

I'll be updating on her progress every couple of days. Here's to hoping she comes along quickly and is able to go to her forever home soon!
