Tonight my other half gave me the surprise of my life, one of his co-workers stumbled upon a little abandoned kitten in one of his hay sheds. He is so young that he imprinted to his pet ducks and was following them around the farm. Anyway to cut a long story short he didn't have the time to give the little kitten the chance it needed at life, so the lil mite found his way to me.
I was in shock when my OH got him out of a box when he got home - he is so small, the only thing i managed to say was "OMG how old is he, we need to get him to a vet" so off we went to the vet, at first they thought his eyes had only just opened and that he couldn't be more than 2 weeks old - judging by the size of him - but my OH's co-worker said that he has been following the ducks around for a week now with his eyes open - to be honest i believe he has only survived this long because the co-worker was giving him half a raw ducks egg every day with some milk - although it would have gone straight through him, i think it was a good source of the right stuff.
The vet after hearing this thinks he maybe 3-4 weeks old but extremely under weight - he weighs 108 grams. And is about the size of a set of keys.
But he has some go in him - he doesn't sleep, just constantly after affection, poor lil thing, everytime i look at him i nearly cry, he should be with his little kitten family. I have grown so attached to him already.
At the moment his name is Monster, bit of sarcasim "Cause hes so huge" but name suggestions are welcome. We are also worried about Demi and Rory and how they will act when they can be in the same room without Monster in the crate - Rory is eye balling him, and growling - help in stopping this would be great if anyone has any suggestions.
Here are some piccies of him
