I am fostering two kittens for my local animal shelter. They were both strays and undernourished. They are app. 4 months old. One of them is doing great, gaining weight and playing a lot by himself and with my two adult neutered cats.
The other kitten is definitely the runt. He is about half the size of his brother, is desperatly stupid, will not play, can't even sit straight, meows loudly day and night. On top of this he is very ugly; tiny body, big head, tiny beady eyes (one smaller than the other). Only positive aspect is that he eats fine and is gaining weight steadily.
If I bring him back to the shelter they might put him down. I feel so guilty and torn about doing this although I know in nature a cat like this would never survive. I just feel I am wasting my energy saving this kitten while I could help out with others. This one will never make a good pet or would it? Can he change or is he really showing sings of being brain damaged? Cat lovers, I need your advice!
