Hello, Susan!
SC> I am fostering a 4 week old kitten for the SPCA and I would
SC> appreciate any advice about how to take care of her. She is eating
SC> really well, but so far I haven't seen her poop. (I have only had
SC> her home for an hour and a half). She is also very agressive. Any
SC> advice would be greatly appreciated.
Perhaps one part of the problem is that the cat is so young. I think
that 4 weeks is too early for it to leave it's mother, but perhaps
it could not be arranged otherwise?
So, if the kitten is afraid and uncertain missing it's mother, you
have to be it instead. Try to arrange a war and soft place at place
where the kitten can hide and take refugee. Perhaps you even could
place a soft teddybear there, but be careful so that not lose part of
it will be swallowed of your kitten.
Have patience. Give your kitten enough time to trust you.
When Kurre and Murre first come home to my apartment (and the where
about 6 MONTHs old), the spent their first 5 hours under the bathtub.
I let them bee there and at the end they feel confident to come around
to be served their meal and to be petted.
Good luck!
Best regards
