We’re getting a kitten! I can’t get a service dog, so I’m doing the closest next thing- a therapy cat! Her name is Bonnie (I’m changing it to Spoon once they accept our adoption letter) and it a quirky yet calm kitten. She’s around 3 weeks-a month old. She’s black and white tuxedo, and such a beauty!

You might have to wait a bit?
Most kittens dont leave their mother till 6 wks old. They require a lot of care that young. Do you have a close friend or relative who has cared for kittens before? You might need some pointers.
If it really is that young, I suggest you watch some how-to utube vids or read a bit of their care.
They need *multiple tiny feedings each day. They may hurt theselves if let to roam the house unattended. They can also get stepped on. You will need a large, tall card board box as a playpen.
You may buy a wire playpin that folds, but it will need a top. It can roam the house at about starting 3 months. yet it may knock stuff over.

Apologies! I got the age wrong, the kitten a few months old, almost a year. @77nick77 and don’t worry, I’ve worked with cats and my mom is giving me tips for cat introduction/getting a new cat comfortable since she’s had many cats. Today we’re going to shopping for some new things for the kitten, like a litter box and food/water dish etc… And thank you so much for the tips! I will look into those

It’s a good thing to have a pet unless it’s too difficult to feed it. I never heard of a therapy kitty but I’m sure it’s useful.

I feel relief, for you.
Teeny tiny kittens are almost constant care, their own moms seem to be much more successful at it any any human.

definitely. You need to feed them every 2 hours or so! No way I’d take care of them unless they were strays/a different situation. So much grey hair!
@SailorTheFox59 yes she does look like that haha 
she’s got more white, though, and her black torso separates into 3 large spots. I’ll share a picture of her once she arrives
