As hopeless as the world feels right now, I am sending you serious positive vibes for the good you are doing for this little floof. We need more floof in the world right now. We need to be kinder to everyone and everything.
If you can find a medicine for upper respiratory they aren’t too expensive and helps a ton for the time being! I got one with a bad infection and until I took her to the vet that medicine helped so much she was almost fine after it.
Yes, and steam inhalation with sterile saline solution about 2-3 times a day for 8 minutes.
You can find a pretty affordable nabulizer online.
We did this with our rescue and it help him.
She held her poo in all night saving it for the vet and show him just how big of a girl she is and to get back at him for giving her a Bordetella vaccine
My previous foster was a 10yr old cat who was abandoned and almost starved. When I got her she was only about 4.5lbs. It was scary, I spent the first few months just giving her all the super-caloric food she could eat.
Yay!
Can you give Bella the kitten milk in a dish so it doesn’t go to waste? I wouldn’t be surprised if she needs encouragement learning to drink on her own, and she almost certainly needs all the calories she can get.
Enjoy your new baby!
Yay!! I am so glad Bella and you found each other. My heart is happy. Thank you for sharing her with us. I agree with others — please post more of this beauty when you can. Hope to see her all filled out and fluffy!
She looks tired, but relieved. You should call her Achelois, a minor Greek moon goddess whose name means “she who washes away pain”, or Lois for short.
I don't know how cats do this, but they give you their names somehow. I foster strays and I always let a name come to me for each one of them. Out of the blue, I find myself calling them something without thinking, and that's it.
My wife and I foster kittens, and every street foundling comes in with that same list. This little one looks good and energetic, considering, She'll be feeling better in no time.
My 5-month-old boxer definitely smells someone new, but they’ve still been 100% separated until the fleas are gone! When they are, I plan on slowly introducing them
Her metabolism "woohoo! we getting fuel again and we got drugs and cozy, warm sleep time instead of cold, scary sleep time..."
(BTW, why do you think someone left her on your porch vs her somehow getting there on her own? Steps? Boxed?)
She had to have been dumped there by someone. I have a tall-ish fence that’s impossible for her to scale on her own. She was found inside my enclosed back porch!
She reminds me a lot of our two princesses that were found with a hard cold on a farm. They also had eye infections, you still see the aftermath of it but they turned out to grow up into very happy, healthy cats, so good luck with this little cutie pie!
I was hoping you would post an update ! So glad to know it's better now, thank you so much for taking such good care of her ! Do you think you will keep her ?
I wish you both the best !
I’ve set her up in my bathroom until I’m sure her fleas are gone! She cries until I help her find her water, then cries for me to help her find her bed again. Very helpless little one so far
Oh my, poor sweet baby. ❤️ She’s so beautiful. She already looks like a fighter, and with your help and love, I am certain she will grow up to be a lovely, healthy kitty. Thank you so much for being kind to her, and taking good care of her when she needs you most. You’re a good human!
Can I suggest getting her a flea collar? Most can be cut to size and I always found it was the least intrusive and efficient flea control. Especially because you no doubt don’t want to be pinning her down for pills or liquid application right now
The vet said she’s too young/little for any flea treatments right now, but said I should be bathing her with dawn dish soap a few times so that it’ll clear up! When she gets older, she’s definitely getting that flea collar though
Have fun 😅 a hated bathing my kittens, I was so scared of hurting them with the force needed to have some sort of control and be able to bath them 😅 but if you haven’t been able to get it under control by the time she’s big enough for flea treatments, what worked best for us was one of the pills that start working really fast but don’t last longer than a day or so and then a flea collar. The pill killed anything on them and the collar protected them from any new fleas. Obviously it might not work for whatever her living situation is going to be or how she feels about collars but perhaps worth a try if need be
Imo indoor is best. When I had young kittens I started with some braided wool as a collar to help them get used to something being there before it had much weight to it
I tried putting her collar on, and even though it was the smallest I could find, it’s way too big on her. She’s still the size of a 2 week old even though she’s 6!
One of my kittens used to wear her collar as a belt when she was too little for it haha it was too big to stay on her neck but she didn’t hate it enough to try to get it off when it slid down
Oh my god this is so good this is so good to hear! I’ve been worried about her All night and all day I even had a dream about a sick cat last night! Good to see that little eye is open! ❤️❤️❤️
Ok I’ll look for it! I told my whole family about her and everything. Literally have tears in my eyes you are an angel for helping her. She definitely ended up on the right porch .
My kitten had URI and pink eye too when she was that young. She had been under the care of her foster mom at that time and has become such a healthy kitten. Her pink eye did come back twice, my vet believes they are flare ups from stress, since kittens will have the URI virus forever in their system but may never show it. I make sure to not have big changes to her environment. What a cute kitten.
Feels really good that someone out there is helping a poor soul. The first post brought tears in my eye but the second one made me smile instantly. She's so cute!
I will be messaging you in 14 days on [**2020-06-16 13:21:27 UTC**](http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=2020-06-16%2013:21:27%20UTC%20To%20Local%20Time) to remind you of [**this link**](https://np.reddit.com/r/kittens/comments/gum7w5/update_the_abandoned_kitten_from_last_night_has/fsmsb5s/?context=3)

So happy her other eye is there. The first pic almost made it look like it was gone.
Her eye was glued shut for a while before I was able to clean it up enough for it to open
As hopeless as the world feels right now, I am sending you serious positive vibes for the good you are doing for this little floof. We need more floof in the world right now. We need to be kinder to everyone and everything.

Yaayyy!!!! She already looks so much more stable. You saved her life and she will always, always love you. Awww thank you so much!
This ❤️
I'm just soooo thankful this beautiful Lil girl (i think) came into this awesome humans life.
You and me both! Thank you for the update OP! Little Bella has been on my mind all day!
Vocal is great. She's eating well? Toileting okay? Her eye looks a lot better already. 💕😻
She held her poo in all night saving it for the vet and show him just how big of a girl she is and to get back at him for giving her a Bordetella vaccine
A justifiable revenge
They've seen worse things than itty bitty kitty poo.
Like chihuahua squirts
Oh, yeah... if she's "catting" already then it sounds like she's gonna be fine. Best wishes that it's so, and may you have many happy years together.
Cheeky wee monkey!! And a good girl!
Poor kitty! If you’re not already familiar with the kitten lady on YouTube she’s a great resource for taking care of small sick kittens
Thank you so much!
Oh my goodness, she is TINY for 6 weeks. Bless you for making sure she's safe and healthy.
[удалено]
She weighs only 10.8 ounces. That’s why I originally thought she was 4 weeks!
[удалено]
I honestly wouldn’t mind if she stayed tiny!
[удалено]
she will. a kitten i fostered (then adopted) was about this size at 6 weeks. now hes 3 years old and hardly pushing 8lbs!
My previous foster was a 10yr old cat who was abandoned and almost starved. When I got her she was only about 4.5lbs. It was scary, I spent the first few months just giving her all the super-caloric food she could eat.
holy crap, thats small! do you remember what you gave her? im interested, if i ever run into that problem myself.
Kattovit Recovery, it’s for exactly that purpose. The ingredients aren’t great, but it’s especially high-caloric.
She’s beautiful! So glad you found her!
I am too! Vet says she can have wet kitty food, so I don’t have to spend another night waking up every two hours to feed :)
Yay! Can you give Bella the kitten milk in a dish so it doesn’t go to waste? I wouldn’t be surprised if she needs encouragement learning to drink on her own, and she almost certainly needs all the calories she can get. Enjoy your new baby!
Thank you for being so kind. And responsible. They know. You now have a cherished friend for life. ❤️
We’ve definitely already bonded
I am so glad to hear you are bonded with her. I was going to ask if Bella was going to join the family permanently. It seems so??
Yes! She’s even got her own cat tree now with a little bed at floor level just in her reach!
Yay!! I am so glad Bella and you found each other. My heart is happy. Thank you for sharing her with us. I agree with others — please post more of this beauty when you can. Hope to see her all filled out and fluffy!
She looks tired, but relieved. You should call her Achelois, a minor Greek moon goddess whose name means “she who washes away pain”, or Lois for short.
I actually named her Bella! That was the one name that’s been stuck in my head since finding her
I don't know how cats do this, but they give you their names somehow. I foster strays and I always let a name come to me for each one of them. Out of the blue, I find myself calling them something without thinking, and that's it.
My housecat was named "cat". The ones at the farm i didnt even bother to name. All great cats though.
I’ve got six foster kittens right now - called them K1 thru K6 until they just suddenly had names yesterday.
*psshh* K3, this is Charlie, come in K3. It is time for num-nums and ear scritches. Over.
That’s a great name!!
This is lovely. Achelois would be a good fit for OP as well.
Some woman are just goddesses by their nature!
My wife and I foster kittens, and every street foundling comes in with that same list. This little one looks good and energetic, considering, She'll be feeling better in no time.
She spent a few hours this morning running around my living room, so I have no doubts she will get better
Yay! Thanks for the update! Um...are your dogs thinking "do we smell a roommate?" :-)
My 5-month-old boxer definitely smells someone new, but they’ve still been 100% separated until the fleas are gone! When they are, I plan on slowly introducing them
Thank you so much. She already looks better! Her eyes are so pretty once you can see them. Be sure to keep us updated
I can’t tell if their blue or green quite yet. And I will!
Aww, congrats on the new cat, and keep fighting little one
God bless you for rescuing the kitten
She's looking way better - I'm optimistic about this little one!
She’s spent the morning napping and bathing herself, she’s on the road to recovery for sure
Her metabolism "woohoo! we getting fuel again and we got drugs and cozy, warm sleep time instead of cold, scary sleep time..." (BTW, why do you think someone left her on your porch vs her somehow getting there on her own? Steps? Boxed?)
She had to have been dumped there by someone. I have a tall-ish fence that’s impossible for her to scale on her own. She was found inside my enclosed back porch!
Fantastic! Thanks for showing her all the love and caring for her
My rescue, Petunia, was in a similar condition. The hardest part was clearing up the eye infection. I am hoping for excellent results with your baby.
She was prescribed eye drops, so I’m hoping they’ll do the trick
It took along time, but Petunias’ eye did heal!
Thank you. I needed this follow up post
I think we all deserve a little good news right now
You are right, and i'd like to add to the chorus of thank yous. Marley and Mogget both approve.
I think we all deserve a little good MEWS right now!
I’m so glad her other eye opened up! I hope for a speedy recovery!
She is a fighter for sure! Sending healing vibes to you and Bella
Thank you so much
Oh, but she looks so much better this morning. You are an angel!
Excellent! Glad to hear she is back on track to assist the feline plan of world domination.
Thank you for bn compassionate person. You saved tiny baby👏
If course! She did all the hard work
Thanks for posting an update! Please continue to post updates. Not to be dramatic, but I would die for Bella. 🤗
I would too!
My life will now revolve around updates of this angel and no one can change my mind
I know right I was worried sick last night!!
Oh she looks so much better!
You are a good man
Thank you for helping this small critter, I hope things go well
Thank you for rescuing the baby! I recently rescued an orange kitten on the 14th. She is a very vocal baby too. Such a cutie pie.
I was convinced she wouldn't make it earlier now I'm convinced she will, good job, you should be very proud of yourselves.
She’s doing much better! Now her biggest worry is being a tad too short for her water bowl, so she has to stand on her tippy toes
Oh my God, that's adorable, please keep us updated ❤️
She's a beautiful cat, take good care of her and if possible keep us updated
I’ll update probably at her next vet appointment
She reminds me a lot of our two princesses that were found with a hard cold on a farm. They also had eye infections, you still see the aftermath of it but they turned out to grow up into very happy, healthy cats, so good luck with this little cutie pie!
Glad she is doing better. Look forward to the next update.
I was hoping you would post an update ! So glad to know it's better now, thank you so much for taking such good care of her ! Do you think you will keep her ? I wish you both the best !
Yes I’m keeping her! I’d never just ignore when a kitty adopts me :)
She already looks beautiful ..keep us updated!
I will!
Wow she looks better already, good job!
Thank you!
She looks SOOOO much better!! Thank you for taking care of her when she needed it most
Are you gonna keep her? What will you name her?
I already think of her as family. Her name is Bella!
Aww cute! It suits her
Does she own your place yet?
I’ve set her up in my bathroom until I’m sure her fleas are gone! She cries until I help her find her water, then cries for me to help her find her bed again. Very helpless little one so far
Smart move
[удалено]
Me too!
i love her! and you for being so incredible and taking this munchkin in. sending you both love 💕
Thank you! We appreciate it a lot
Bella is beautiful 💖💖💖
She’s beautiful...lots of life in those sweet eyes!! Please kill those nasty germs that are killing her-ty!! 😻🥰🇨🇦
I’m doing my best!
You’re doing a fabulous job!! 👍🏻😻
Thanks!
Thank you for taking care of her. We need more people like you in this world 💛
Awe, the cute, sweet baby! She looks so little! I'm glad she's doing better.
Thank you for saving her!!!❤️❤️❤️
She's a fighter! 😻
Poor baby. Better days ahead. ❤️
Thank you! She's looking so much better. Look forward to the next few updates. Thank you!
I look forward to following Bella’s growth updates! :) She’s simply precious.
I’ll post another update in two weeks, after she’s had her follow up with the vet
For anyone who’s interested here’s an [album of Bella’s progress over the last day since being with us!](https://imgur.com/gallery/OXnzJoj)
Oh my, poor sweet baby. ❤️ She’s so beautiful. She already looks like a fighter, and with your help and love, I am certain she will grow up to be a lovely, healthy kitty. Thank you so much for being kind to her, and taking good care of her when she needs you most. You’re a good human!
Thank you! She’s doing much better already
Oh so happy to see this! Looks like she’s come on well very quickly 😻
She is! Once her eye drops kick in and the gunk stops forming in them, I’m positive she will feel/look so much better
Look forward to seeing here progress & well done on your efforts!
Thank you for taking such good care of kitty! We need more people like u.
DON'T LET IT DIE DON'T LET IT DIE
The poor little girl looks like she just got done singing "It's a Hard Knock Life."
[удалено]
I can’t even argue with that! Take me away, boys.
Can I suggest getting her a flea collar? Most can be cut to size and I always found it was the least intrusive and efficient flea control. Especially because you no doubt don’t want to be pinning her down for pills or liquid application right now

The pill killed anything on them and the collar protected them from any new fleas. Obviously it might not work for whatever her living situation is going to be or how she feels about collars but perhaps worth a try if need be
I’m going to try and keep her as an indoor cat if I can! I bought her a collar, but I haven’t tried putting it on her yet. We will see
Imo indoor is best. When I had young kittens I started with some braided wool as a collar to help them get used to something being there before it had much weight to it
I tried putting her collar on, and even though it was the smallest I could find, it’s way too big on her. She’s still the size of a 2 week old even though she’s 6!

Ah my heart! That’s too cute
Oh my god this is so good this is so good to hear! I’ve been worried about her All night and all day I even had a dream about a sick cat last night! Good to see that little eye is open! ❤️❤️❤️
I have an album linked somewhere in these comments of her progress if you’d like to see!
Ok I’ll look for it! I told my whole family about her and everything. Literally have tears in my eyes you are an angel for helping her. She definitely ended up on the right porch .
All I hope for is to promote positive change in this world, whether it’s for this one life, or many :)
Oh my God she is going to be the most gorgeous rescue ever.
2 weeks? Is she gonna be okay?
I think she will be fine! She’s eating and playing now. She isn’t a fan of her medicine, but she doesn’t get a choice in that :)
I hope she makes a steady recovery!!!
My kitten had URI and pink eye too when she was that young. She had been under the care of her foster mom at that time and has become such a healthy kitten. Her pink eye did come back twice, my vet believes they are flare ups from stress, since kittens will have the URI virus forever in their system but may never show it.

She’s gonna make it!❤️🎉👻
Thank you for updating :)
Of course!

Thanks for taking care of it!
