Hi,
We recently adopted a kitten via my sister who is a Vet Nurse. This lovely little chap is 9 weeks old or thereaboutrs, was badly starving, and had severe infections and a bad leg / tail. The vets amputated the tail and leg before we got him and sorted the infections, but after a week he is still a complete nervous wreck!
I've adopted abused animals before but after a week they normally show some signs of familiarity, this little one just shakes. He also often has accidents (anywhere but the litter tray) and will sit in it.
I recognise he's traumatised and we're sticking it out with him, but need advice too. He does play / move about at night, but never by day.
We do have another older cat, but he and the kitten just steer clear of each other, which seems OK for the moment- we can work on that later.
