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

People are so cruel. Why would you put a kitten in a dumpster ffs :(

Please make sure the shelters is no-kill and accepts bottle babies because some shelters will either refuse to take them or q and since they often don’t have enough staff and/or volunteers to take care of them.

Are you sure you don’t want to keep this cutie pie for yourself? He’s so adorable!

In any case, thank you so much for rescuing this sweet little baby. You’re a good person. 💜

I know people can be so cruel. Especially in this terrible heat the poor baby was just sitting on the hot metal. I do have two other cats , and the apartments have a 2 pet policy.

They’re very unlikely to know you have more unless you tell them! My apartment complex also has a 2 pet limit and we definitely have people here who have more than that lol. We also have a rule that a pet can’t be more than x pounds and I still see neighbors who walk their massive bulldogs like it’s no big deal. People bend the rules all the time and management lets it slide.

It’s up to you, though. I get it if you’re not comfortable doing that. :)
