Advice on Kitten
I found another Kitten, this time behind the Landmark petrol station, right next the Michelin, no mother cat around or any other kittens, a lot of traffic goes through this station, so it was risky to just leave him there for him mum to find him. I took him home, have been feeding him formula milk, he's able to walk and even though skinny looks fairly healthy, unfortunately I already have 2 adult cats, both males, and a 3rd cat would just be impossible especially that we have to move out of our huge villa into a small 2 bedroom by the end of the year. I know there are a lot of cats out there, but if anyone would like this cat, I will happily give it to them, I will help towards the cost of vaccination and neutering if required. I wish I could keep him though. Please advice otherwise.
Thanks Chelsea, the vet told me to give him normal baby formula (the one we give our 4 month old baby) it will have all the nutrients necessary for a natural growth. He;s looking better and stronger everyday. I know there are thousands of cats out there, but is there any shelter that take this cat in? let me know what I can do...as I cannot keep him.
Just remember they need to have special kitten milk formula, not regular milk, and this is only available at 2 vets here in Qatar. A 3 week old kitten should be on at least 5 feeds per day. The kitten can be vaccinated in 5 weeks time but probably wont be neutered for at least 16 weeks.

Labda and xena, I just came back from the Government vets now, they had a look at him and they were suprised that the kitten had survived without it's mum..he's now about 3 weeks old the Dr said, he will vaccinate and deworm and neuter him in a couple of months.
MrEmochie, thanks for the offer, when can you come around to see him? I need to make sure that you know how to take care of a kitten...i mean they need constent care, warmth, warm (Not HOT) milk. They need to be given a lot of cuddles, the rest is just in their insiticts. I have two cats and one of them was a stray..i cannot keep this one, i wish I could...it is the cutest...I wonder if I can post a pic.
The government vets will do it for nothing for you.... if he is still too young, they won't nueter him now, so you will have to take him back in about 4 or 5 months.
The Animal Resources Department is on the corner of Airport Road and Parachute signal.

If you want to vaccinate and neuter take him to the government clinic near the parachute R/A. They do it for free.

Wish I could help you out, but already have two kitties of my own and they are a handful (albeit a welcome handful ;-). If I hear of anyone looking for one, I'll let you know.
