I found a wild kitten whos family had all been separated not far from my house. I saw it running and trying to find food in my property. After running around my house and in a paddock I finally caught it.
It was most certainty wild. I bought him inside, feed him, gave him water. He was extremely affectionate after that. I love this lil kitten so much. Lol we were friends within 15 minutes. I had a dog and a cat and my mum said that she does not want me to keep it. I can feed it, just away from the house in the paddock behind us. It just wants food, shelter water and love. I took it to this big old tree pile, made some shelter from old bucket I found, left a bowl of food and water.

I can walk away and the kitten stays there, all on his lonesome. I come back to keep him company with food etc and he give me a cuddle.
I guess he thinks I’m his new mother who is going hunting for food for him. It’s so cute. I just feel so sad that I have to leave him all out there all night and majority of day, My mum says I have to change my clothing after seeing it incase he has mange or some kitten disease, that will spread to my other two pets.
His ears are strange like a Scottish fold x lynx’s ears. But the tips of his ears are hard and slightly crusty. It’s strange; I hope it’s not kidney disease causing the tips of his ears to go like that,

I can’t afford the vet bill, injectsions and whatever is wrong with his ears. I’m sure if he had his kitten. I get paid next week, my mum forbids me to spend that money on the kitten, even though it’s not her money. The poor kitten is out for ages by itself, and at that age they need company for long periods of the day, I wish I could bring it to my house so I know it’s safe and hasn’t been picked up by and owl or attacked by a possum or other cat or something.
And I don’t want to pester the animal shelter, it’s just a small animal shelter, I’m sure they all ready have their hands full. This kitten won’t starve at all. He’s quite tamed now…. Sorry if I babbled on a bit.

Are there any bad infectious diseases he may have?

Just say he had none I’m sure I could keep him.

Thanks
