Scout is finally caught

After 3 days (which seemed like much longer), we caught the kitten! For those of you I didn't ramble to, here's the story. I was driving into the apartment complex on Saturday morning and I happened to see a tiny head poking out from under the wheelchair ramp leading to our clubhouse. I walked back and sure enough, it's a kitten. And a VERY wild kitten! After many cans of food, coaxing, and sitting out in the rain, JM and I finally caught it today. We found out that it is the last of 5 kittens to have been caught from under there in the last week or so. Not sure where the mom went, but they were all very hungry, scared and lonely.

I'm not sure how I thought the encounter would go, but so far it's been a bit of an exhaustion. It flipped out when JM picked it up and has just finally stopped meowing (it's now been almost three hours). We put it in the cat carrier in the bathroom and left it with food, water, a make-shift litter box and a blanket with a hot water bottle inside of it. We go in periodically to try to talk to it and get it a little more used to us. It doesn't spit at me anymore at least! I am desperately hoping it won't be too long of an adjustment period.


I'm hoping to foster her (or him...not sure yet) until it's more well-adjusted and then try to find a home for it. If you know of anyone who may be interested, please forward this on!!!

This is where she has been living...

Now here she is scared and mad in our bathroom!
