Well I had taken a 4 day weekend so on Mon morning I went in early to catch up. I was in the front lobby when this young lady came up with a box. In it was a very tiny kitten with pus infected eyes and very skinny. She works night shift at Walmart and it was in parking lot. She put in car and came to Police Dept. I told her I would give to animal warden when he came in.
First thing out of his mouth was he was going to put it down. I said if I take it to vet and there is nothing major wrong I will keep it but if it was seriously ill then he would humanely put down. I work about an hour away from home so he ran it over to a local vet. Big mistake as it cost $220. My vet would have charged maybe $100 or less.
They did keep over night. No major issues and tested for Leukemia, distemper and such. Only 4 weeks old so no worming or shots yet. He has settled in my Boxers old crate real nice and is now allowing dogs to lick and sniff and purring and head rubbing now.
