We Saved a Kitten and he's shy - Page 3

We found him!!

He was in a spot that we already looked, so I don't know where he was, but my mother heard him crying and she was all the way upstairs. He was hungry!! He ate from my sister's finger, wet cat food... and then he ate all by himself off the plate on the floor. When he was full he darted under one of the dressers, lol.

So I made a bed for him where we found him hiding last, and I put his food and water near there, so hopefully when I go in, I'll find him there. If not, at least I know he is safe and has a full belly

yes he did. now he is under my bed in the corner crying, but he won't come out

that's okay, at leat you know where he is, and he will cry that's normal, just be patient and pet him especially when he's eating because kittens like that, and talk to him gently and it will take time but remember he's probably never seen humans before so humans are scarey to him.

So glad you found him...you might want to try wrapping a small clock in a towel or blanket if it can hear it, it may comfort him thinking it is its mothers heart beat and may be drawn to it. Sounds crazy but we did it all the time when I was growing up. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't...

ah yes the old clock trick yeah get a clock that ticks and do that it really does help, poor kitty is probably so scared right now :( But what a lovely home he found.

So glad you found him:)

I was gonna mention the clock thing - also, a hot water bottle if you have one, wrapped in a towel/ blanket, to keep him warm.

If he's fed and warm, then he's crying for his mum - it'll take him a little while to settle in, but once you know he has everything he needs, I wouldn't worry too much.

Well done so far - sounds like your doing a great job:)
