i i found a baby cat i need the number to call so they can pick him up and put him 4 adoption?

Question

help me please i need the number to the pound or something.

Answer 1

This is an unfortunate situation but whatever you do, choose wisely. DO NOT call animal control or the pound. They will put the cat to sleep! Believe me, I know! Like was mentioned, search for a "NO KILL" animal shelter. I hate to even mention a shelter as a resort because all kinds of crazy people buy these animals to use for animal testing, to train their dogs to fight, etc. . . . . But, there are many loving people who adopt as well. Just pray for the best!

*I know that animals are put to sleep sometimes within half an hour of receiving the animal. I know because I volunteered at a shelter before. True, a shelter's policy is to keep an animal for three days (to give the possible owner a chance to find the animal) before euthenasia. But do you really think three days is enough time?! Come on! And believe me, when the three days are up, the fate of that animal is in the hands of the shelter. I only speak what I know.

Answer 2

how old is he?
are you sure his mom is not around?

if he still needs to nurse the best thing to do is to hand nurse him:

What the kitten needs is babycat formula. Several companies has that the two best are royal canin and KMR. I recommend royal canin it comes with a bottle three bags of formula and a small bag of dry baby cat food for later on.

Now to how to take care of him

Food:
Day one to week three: Two-tea spoon of powder and four-tea spoon of warm water. Feed every four hours.
There will probably be extra milk in the bottle, when he will finish to eat just put it in the fridge and use it next time warm it for 20 seconds in the microwave and let it cool for about a minute.
Make sure to massage his belly after each meal it will help him digest his food batter.

Week three to 5 weeks: In start mixing with his milk some canned A/D of science diet do that for a week and each feeding increase the amount of A/D and decrease the amount of milk here you can start feeding him every six hours.
Get from you vet a 10CC syringe you will need, as the food will get thicker with each feeding.

Five weeks and up: stop with the milk and mix the A/D with some royal canin baby cat dry food, you can stop with the syringe and give it to him on a flat plate or a flat box top each day decrease the amount of wet food and increase the dry food within a week or two he should eat dry food alone. Make sure that he will have dry food in a small bowl all the time now, as he will get used to eating only that. Buy him royal canin babycat 34 it’s the best kitten food for kittens at his age.

Warming him:
Take a big towel and fold it a few times in the top fold put a water warm bottle. Change the water with each feeding, in about month you can stop with the water bottle.

Excretions:
Wet some cotton in lukewarm water and squze it to get most of the water leave it moist. Gently before each meal rub the kitten rear. Make sure to do that above some toilet paper or he’ll do his things on you.
In about two weeks prepare him small low box with some cat sand to do his things in it. They just learn alone. Instincts.
If he hasn’t done his needs in over two days take him to the vet.

if he can eat on his own you can take care of him out side or in your home while searching him a home.
the shelter may put him down after a few weeks if he won't find a home.

Answer 3

look in the phone book under humane society or something like that. Just dont call the pound. They will put him to sleep there, Just call your local animal shelter and he will be put up for adoption

Answer 4

Well.. you didn't say the city or state....

so, best I can answer is to call directory assistance. Dial 411 in some states... or dial area code plus 555-1212.. or get on 411.com and look there...

If you call directory assistance ask for the Humane Society.. and make sure they are a no-kill shelter...

Good Luck!

Answer 5

if you cannot find the number in the phone book call a vet in your area they will know - or call your city hall and ask for "animal control" department

*** ADDITIONAL INFO***
I read one of the above answers who said "they will put it to sleep" this is not always the case - most cities have laws that they HAVE to keep any animal for a MINIMUM of 72 hours before putting it to sleep or up for adoption - most shelters extend this period because its just not practicle to have the vet show up every day to vaccinate or euthanize so its usually done weekly and at any rate they dont euthanize every animal - firstly they give them a chance for their owners to come get them - then if its an adoptable animal they put it up for adoption.... sheesh dont scare people with things that may not be true

Answer 6

Call information and ask thenm for the number to you local human society. Or look in the phone book.

Answer 7

Try looking up the name of the pound or humane society on google.com, yellowpages.com or your phone book. No one can help you without knowing your location. You can try petfinder.com also, they have a list of local shelters and an area to post ads to give him away.

Answer 8

My only advice is to not take it to a kill shelter..........instead of taking it to a shelter put an add in hte newspaper for the kitten and somebody will adopt it.
