I just found a kitten and do t know what to do
I obviously just found a kitten. It was on the side of the road with traffic coming though, so I didn’t feel it was safe to leave it and observe. I had cleaned it up with some cat wipes of mine, and hit the little spot on its chin with an antibacterial cat wipe. The problem is, I just saw a cat hanging around my house that I don’t normally see. So I went in, grabbed the kitten, and made sure this cat saw the kitten. I assumed this was the mom. I sat the kitten down, backed away a bit, but the cat didn’t come closer; it just watched. I accidentally spooked the cat, and it ran into the woods. So I tried to hide from afar, and see if the cat would come back it didn’t show up in the ten minutes I watched, but it’s now night time and I had to bring the kitten back inside. I feel like that was the mom cat, but can’t be certain and don’t want to just abandon the kitten outside in hopes that it actually was the mom. What would you guys do?
