Re: Feral kitten advice?

You do realize that cats are a hot climate animal. The hotter it is, the more they like it. You just terrorized a small animal while it was enjoying itself in its preferred temperature range. Well done you. It was probably a local's kitten too. So somewhere there is a small child or lonely older person missing their pet.

Cats can take some heat, yeah, but blistering hot temperatures can certainly be dangerous to them, especially if they aren't hydrated, just as any other animal.

That being said, OP might want to call the pound/check for a microchip to see if the cat does belong to someone. But if it is acting aggressive, she's probably right in that it's a stray. And OP did good work getting a stray off the streets - not only for the kitten's own life, but for preventing that kitty from breeding and contributing to stray cat populations.

OP of the thread and no, just no.

I know I haven't explained a lot of detail, but this kitten has been under the pallet for two days, or so says my coworker. I only became involved today because I was leaving work when they wanted to remove it from the pallet and I have a spare kennel to hold it while my coworker finishes shift.

The kitten is also injured, which we discovered while we put it in the kennel. It's back leg has a scratch of some kind and the skin is red with irritation. My coworker is going to take it to the vet to see if everything's alright, and I assume she's going to check to see if it's chipped or if there are missing pet fliers.

Perhaps I would understand your concern had you been less aggressive about it. Louisiana is very harsh during the summer and the area I live in isn't kind to strays (heavy traffic, swampy marsh filled with snakes and gators). I wouldn't have gotten involved if the weather wasn't favorable for the animal and it wasn't injured.

Missing their pet? Shouldn't have been letting a tiny kitten out to roam freely and get squashed by cars, then.
