I found a tiny kitten at a gas station tonight. It was crying. I felt bad so I took it home, fed and bathed it. It is the cutest little thing... and now I'm thinking that I'm not going to take it to the animal shelter tomorrow and instead and keep the little thing. I have never been a cat person, so I don't really know what I should do. Warm milk? Does it need shots?? I know there has to be some cat people that can give me some advice.

warm milk is bad. alot of cats are lactose intolerant believe it or not. definitely take it to a vet sooner rather than later, and keep it close in your bed at night. its gonna need a lot of attention and time to get used ot stuff. dont be suprised if it pees all over. but it will get the hang of littler boxes eventually. check for its sex, and decide on if you want it fixed. which i highly recommend earlier rather than later in its life. :)

Take it to the vet first thing tomorrow to get it checked out. If you wanna keep it...you must know that the shots and test the first time around are not cheap, so you will need a little bit of extra cash.

Second...get her a litter box. Cats are pretty smart. She should learn to use it pretty quick.

Third...maybe just run to the local food mart and garb a can of cat food. That would be the best thing for it.

Milk can cause worms.

I would take it to the vet and get it checked ASAP.

If you have a box laying around cut it so the kitten can get in, and put some litter in it for a litter box.

Kitten food should be alright for it.

Tuna is NOT a good idea either, there is no nutrients for cats in tuna.

The cat could be any sex. Never heard of that tri-color being only females.

Vienna sausages? Lol...its gonna crap every where. I'd suggest you drive out and go get it some cat food.

Go to a pet store or pet supply area at most stores. If too young kittens do not do good with hard food. Shots will come however consult a vet.Theres more but this might do to start.

They're actually pretty clean animals, and take care of alot of pests for you.
