    Just a quick update..

    I took yesterday off work to take care of her (it ended up being a female cat). She would wake up every three hours or so and cry LOUDLY until she was fed. Feeding the cat formula through the bottle took about 45 minutes per feeding because she drank so slowly.

    There aren't very many vets around here, but I called all of them I could find. None of them were able to get the kitten in for a quick checkup yesterday. I was able to find a special extra small bottle at one of the vets which was finally small enough to feed her, and the vet assistants said she at least "looked" normal without the actual vet doing a complete inspection.

    I had to look around pretty far and wide, but I finally found an animal shelter that was willing to take her. They have a nursing mother cat, and the lady I spoke to said they have a very high adoption rate for kittens. I think she's going to be okay.

    Yay!! I hope baby kitty gets a good home now. You're awesome for taking the poor thing in. :love:

    Yes.. God Bless you for saving the kitties life. Good Job... :flowerforyou: The one MFP member who said to name it Sophie.... That was my cat-childs name... I did not find her in a Sofa thou... I got her at the SPCA many many years ago. Hopefully that kitty you saved will be someones buddy & source of comfort for a long long time. I think its great that you saved her.
