Hi everybody! Big news! I rescued a cute Kitty a few months back. She had been hiding in the frame underneath my roommate’s car. I heard meowing ALL night but couldn’t figure out where it was coming from?? I looked everywhere!! The meowing continued the next morning.
We finally saw her…a very scared & hungry TINY black & white kitten. She was hiding from us and wouldn’t come out. Just kept crying for her mommy 🙁 Thankfully she moved up under the hood and my neighbor was able to reach in and grab her. So brave of her and she got very scratched up for her heroism!
The engine is a VERY dangerous place for kittens to hide because when someone starts the car there’s too many lethal spots to get stuck in like fan belts. Plus if the kitten/s jumps down from the car, they’re right by the wheels.
She was under 1 lb, needed to be fed with a dropper but was friendly right away. I put her on a wet food diet soon and now have her on a healthy high protein diet that includes veggies, sweet potatoes and even fruit. She loves FRUIT!!! Papaya, banana, dragonfruit, dates, she’ll even eat NONI fruit. She’s obsessed with my breakfast of fruit & coconut cream. So I make her her own small version.
I’m hoping to train her to walk on a leash?? but time will tell, ha! She’s two months old now and just got spayed by a WONDERFUL non profit organization. Too many poor unwanted kittens, especially here in Hawaii. Did you know female cats can get pregnant at 4 MONTHS old?? And give birth to up to 5 LITTERS per YEAR!!
I’ve named her Piku (pee-koo) which means “fig” in Hawaiian
Hard to study!!
