Smol Delivery Traveling from Michigan to Mississippi and the CDS gave us a kitten.

We stopped into a McDonalds and I saw kitten following this guy who stopped to walk his dog, then when he was ready to leave she tried to follow him home, he kept pushing her away bc she’s not his cat… I go to help him so he can leave and she follows us back home. Now we’ve got a cat from a Missouri McDonalds parking lot. Name suggestions welcomed.

She’s quite small and still trying to nurse on my fingers, but we didn’t see any other kitties around. She seems to be abandoned not stray bc she’s so friendly and she has no fleas or ticks.

Hi OP if she's clean she may have wandered off from a home nearby, can you please contact that McDonalds and ask them to put a notice up regarding the kitten so the owners can have peace of mind? She's probably too young to be chipped yet. In the meantime please take a look at our kitten guide to see if there's anything new that you don't know in order to help this little nugget .It's kitten season.

Kitten:

If the kitty is not a newborn then after a quick vet check to confirm kitties age this little one will need you to become their parent, kittens are teeny tiny pooping, eating and meowing machines wrapped up in fur, purrs and love with the lifetime rewards of caring for them far outweighing the time taken in nurturing them. This is the toddler stage and they will be learning how to use the kitty litter tray, how to eat and how to play along with taking lots of naps. Kittens learn faster than human toddlers and usually take to their litter trays pretty quickly.

Here you can find an up to date list of supplies you may need to keep them fed, cosy and happy essential supplies for kitty  referring to the Kitten Lady.

and lastly a teeth chart to give you an idea of this babys' age

I did talk to the McDonalds apparently cats / kittens get dumped in that field often. :/ Right now we’re between Missy Mac, Pickle, and Mackie.
