okay so my neighbors are extremely irresponsible, and their cat had kittens about 2 months ago. 3 outta the 4 kittens were caught by fellow neighbors and taken to the humane society, but there was still one left. i tried to catch that one by feeding it, since winter was coming, but i noticed she always used to just lay around.
i caught her now, she came to me this morning and shes in a nice cage in my room [well taken care of] and shes acting strange. shes very mean, but only when i pick her up. after shes in my arms, she cuddles and purrs, so i think shes just sick.
she has a very large, hard belly for her size, and she just lays around alot, shes not active like a normal cat. shes probably malnutritioned, since i feed her outside, but shes never had a home before. im gunna take her to the vet in a few weeks [there booked until then] but i was wondering if theres a chance she has worms etc. and if there gunna wanna put her to sleep when she goes. PLEASE HELP I LOVE THIS KITTEN.

momma cat lives from house to house on my road, but she neglects the kittens, so the kitten is probably not missing her mom, seeing as how shes atleast 7+weeks old now. also, she has a abnormally small tail, could that be from something specific?
please, vets or certified people only, this means alot to me. if you need anymore info, just ask and ill add it.

okay another thing, not to be mean, but shes a effen kitten. cats cant have babies till atleast 6 months old, which she is clearly not.
but for those of you who took me serious: another thing, her tail, she doesnt move it. she leaves it curled up around herself. is that a problem, or is it just because shes scared?

I'm not a vet, but I can tell you right now that she has roundworms. Whenever you see a kitten with a distended belly, thats usually the cause. She is not active because the worms are eating most of her food. Also, I rescue a lot of cats, and I havent seen one yet that doesnt have roundworms AND tapeworms. You can buy tapeworm tabs for cats at a pet store, and cut one pill in half. Thats all she will need for tapeworms, and you can hide it in a soft treat or grind it up in wet food. Just be sure to tell the vet when you go.

How lengthy has it been? It's thoroughly viable that she supposed to again for the others, however simply hasn't gotten round to it but. It's additionally viable that she's just a little careworn situated on what occurred the night time earlier than, and is relocating her toddlers slowly to watch out. Your quality wager is to get them in a storage or refuge of a few type. A kennel might be worrying if located external, as though the coyote comes again the mummy will think trapped. Do you've got a storage you'll be able to placed them in, or recognize anybody who does? When you uncover them a situation, transfer all 3 of the toddlers first, after which convey the mummy to them. Afterwards, it can be intelligent to spay her, after which rehome her one million 12 months historic kitten, as good because the others as soon as they are historic adequate -- spay/neuter earlier than striking at a affordable health facility, and rehome for the rate of the spay/neuter and the photographs.

all kittens need worming but they will not put your kitty down for that! I think the reason she is a little aggressive is because she has not had the human upbringing in her life so she has not been handled, give her time and love and she'll be fine. Get your vet to check her out and make sure you give her kitten food and kitten milk which has less lactose than normal milk which is better for cats. good luck

If she is shy of being handled, she is probably kind of feral or wild due to not being handled much so far. Spend lots of time with her and she'll become a lover. Get her to the doc as soon as you can. If she is bloated, try a different diet.
If you can catch mama cat, get her spayed and return her to where she lives.
