What do i do with my new cat?

Question

a stray kitten lives by our barn and shes a really nice kitten but every time i leave from petting her or giving her milk, she just sits by the door waiting for me 2 come back. my parents wont let me take her in so i take care of her outside. i want to know what to do with her separation anxiety thing and how 2 keep her warm at night because shes freezing now!

Answer 1

Well, you can buy a cat bed and put it outside with some towels in it and put some food by the side in case she gets hungry. Umm you could try getting a stuffed animal and putting in the bed too. If you don't want to buy a bed then just put some towels out there. But I think the stuffed animal thing will work. My dog has severe anxiety so we just leave the T.V. on so he can still hear voices but you can't do that. Well I hope this answer helps you!!! Good luck!!

Answer 2

I'm doing the same thing with my old cat, but she doesn't cry when i leave. find someone who can take her in and for the meantime don't give her milk ( milk gives cats diherria ) give her boiled eggs, veggies, fruit,grilled or boiled meat (no spices or anything like that, but feel free to add a pinch of salt).or dog food for the moment could work 2 and put an old blanket in a box 2 warm her. i hope the cat finds a good home.

Answer 3

take her to a shelter..they can at least find her a home and can take care of her till then.

Answer 4

Because she's a kitten who was used to playing with her litter, she's probably lonely.

Now that you're her only companion, she's relying on you to provide her with constant attention.

Take her out some cat toys.

If you don't have any, make some.

It can be as simple as a pom pom attached to a string that you hang low enough for her to swat at.

As for keeping her warm at night.

Get a cat carrier or small dog pen, if you don't have one, how about a box?

Fill it with fleece blankets, a lot of them at that.

Make it so she can almost burrow in them.

With the blankets all around her, they'll trap her body heat.

It's wonderful that you're taking care of this kitten.

A week ago, I found two kittens on my front porch.

The male, we found a wonderful home for after completing 19 interviews to find the best people to adopt him.

And the female, we're keeping as our own family pet.

Please don't forget to feed her as well, as the rodents she'll catch wont be enough for a domestic cat to survive on.

EDIT: And please don't just send her to a shelter.

Animals, especially cats who get taken there as assessed based on their temperment and how liked they would be to potential owners. The ones who don't pass the assessment are put down. The ones who do, receive very little time to find a home. If no one adopts them, they are put down as well.

If you must relocate the kitten, please post an ad on a website like kijiji.

My ad for the male kitten was up for three days (without a picture, even) and we had no problem what so ever finding him a home.
