Over the phone --

me: "I was wondering when you could come out to the farm..."
vet: "What problems are you having?"
me: "New kitten... so the usual I guess."
vet: "Checkup, blood samples, stool sample, first round of vaccinations, and medicate for worms?"
me: "Yup."
vet: "I'll be out this afternoon."

A new (another) black kitten has joined the farm family. This little male was found in a parking lot during a storm, huddled under a car. Estimated age is 6-8 weeks, but I am currently waiting for Ultimate-Vet to arrive to perform the kitten's initiation checkup. I searched for any other kittens when I found this one, but found none.

Even though the kitten is in quarantine until his blood tests go through, he is zealous and fierce. He climbs up my jeans, onto my shirt, and keeps going until he can settle himself on a shoulder at which point his purring sounds like a helicopter. When he is slipping into a nap, he will sleepily knead the air and nurse on the end of his tail before dozing off entirely.

Cats do come in litters, so I went back to the parking lot today area trying to find kittens pre-roadkill phase with no luck. There were no roadkill phase kittens either, so that is something. Tomorrow will probably be my final try to locate any others.
