We rescued a tiny kitten a couple weeks ago… the only one of the litter left alive.

A beautiful little calico. Eyes still shut. By her size I was guessing she was about a week old, and in surprisingly good health. We ran to the store for KMR, but I had everything else on hand. You never know when you’ll find an orphaned critter!

Instantly smitten, of course. The kids named her Cookie Dough. She’s been a fairly uneventful little guest, eating regularly and not causing any problems! She purrs a lot, and at 3.5 weeks has already started using the mini litter box on the end of her tub. We just started offering soft food, so hopefully in another week I won’t have to wake up for night feedings anymore!

She’s the cutest big-eyed butterball. And you know I can’t miss an opportunity for an adorable kitten-in-a-basket photo op ☺️
