They wrapped the cat in a towel and carried her to the vet with great care; the kitten would not stop purring while cuddling her new parents during the ride. She showed herself to be a very affectionate kitty right away.

After a thorough examination, the veterinarian decided that she was around three weeks old, in good condition, and would need to be bottle-fed and closely monitored for the next few weeks.

Adopting a kitten or a young kitten is a big commitment; it requires a lot of time and money to keep them alive.

Before you take the plunge, keep in mind that during its first few weeks of existence, a young kitten feeds every 2 or 3 hours. Claire and Kyle realized this and agreed to alternate babysitting the kitten.
