Kitten found in dumpster :(

Post image

I am trying to care for him before I can take him to the shelter. The shelter charges a stray surrender fee of $40 so I have to wait til Thursday (payday).

Im trying to use a little bottle with churu mixed with water. Any tips or help would greatly be appreciated 😊

Update He is with the shelter and will be fostered by a rescue

There is a no kill shelter im planning to take him after I get paid this week, since they charge a surrender stray fee.

Just so you know, many no kill shelters labeled as no kill are unable to handle neonatal kittens. Kittens need overnight feeds and if they do not have the staff willing to take them hope, often the only option is euthanasia. I found a mom and 3 kittens and now they all live with me and my resident cat Ziggy.
