Congrats on the new baby Tricia . I have rescued quite a few cats over the years. I have 4 right now . Definitely get the kitten to a vet asap. He\she probably has earmites, fleas etc. I know...yuck!! You definitely don't want to get an infestation in your home, trust me on this one. It is not a pretty picture. I have had over a 140 cats and kittens in my lifetime . My dad did not believe in spaying so our poor cat had over 100 kittens during her life . I am definitely pro spaying and neutering after all of that. LOL I am sure you will make a great cat 'mom' ! (yes, I'm a crazy cat lady )
