OT - Another tiny cat

she's gained a little over an ounce since Tuesday. She's difficult, but
I am trying. Spent 45 minutes today trying to get some poop out of her.
Finally did, so the constipation problem may have resolved. she
scared me to death this morning when she didn't pee. She did feed, so I
left her for a while. Later I used gauze, which is a little rougher
than cotton, and managed to get a large pee and some poop. I guess the
bit of mineral oil yesterday worked.
We are in touch with a vet and the Humane Society. We went and got her
some worming meds today from the HS. Have to give her tiny little doses
over several days.
I only wish she'd warm up to human touch. If she can't she won't be
adoptable and all of our efforts might be lost. This is not a no kill
shelter. It struggles to remain afloat. If I didn't take the kitten,
she'd have been put down as these little ones can't get shots so the
shelter can't keep them.

That's good news that she has gained some weight. You really are an angel
for taking such special care of her. I suspect that she may warm up to
human touch after she gains more weight and begins to feel more comfortable.
