Foster Kitten!

I thought everyone would appreciate my foster kitten I rescued on Wednesday. I was coming back home on my morning run when I look down and see a kitten. She has her back turned to me but isn’t moving so I crouch down and get a look. The right side of her face is covered in blood and her tongue is hanging out of her mouth.

Usually I run around outside half naked, but that morning it was chilly so I was wearing a t shirt. I took it off and wrapped her up and carried her home. I got her back inside and she had really bad road rash on the bloody side so I’m thinking she got clipped by a car tire. I got her into the vet first thing. Thankfully she didn’t have a jaw injury or any internal damage, but she does have a skull fracture. We’ve had her on a baby dose of steroids and some ointment for the road rash.

She is the strongest baby alive. After two doses of roids and a day of syringe feeding, her tongue deflated and is back in her mouth. She uses it to scream at me and drink water like a pro. Within two days she was wolfing down solid kibble. And today she showed me she can climb up my office chair all by herself!

This is: Sabrina Catpenter. The tshirt she was wrapped up in was my Man’s Best Friend one

New to fostering… super anxious

A week ago my co worker and I found 3 kittens on a ranch we work at. we have seen who we assume is the mom hanging around for the past 6 months. he could not take them b/c his girlfriend is super allergic and there are not a lot of rescues in our area. I hesitated to take them from their mom but they were so close to a busy highway I was worried they would get hit. we are still working on trying to catch mom. one of them is I pretty good condition. the other two have crusty eyes. I was able to get them into my dog’s vet a couple days after I brought her them home. she estimated they were about 5 weeks old. they are eating soft food fine, but not drinking much water. no interest in formula. she said the two have a little bit of an upper respiratory infection, but not enough to prescribe antibiotics. she did give eye ointment. that was yesterday. today one of them is sneezing a lot and sounds like they ar congested/wheezy. I was just hit by a wave of panic. What did I get myself into? What if I do something wrong and they die? What if I catch something or my dog catches something? This does not feel like normal anxiety. Anyone have any other experiences like this?
