So... Not really a cat owner, but we are fairly friendly with the local animal rescue, in particular when they need help with guinea pigs.

But today they got a big batch of kittens that they had trouble finding foster families for.

We took one in until things settle down.

This is mini Mark. They told us he's 3 weeks old. Very lively, hungry and cute!

Also a video here, although on an unrelated channel

We'd consider if it wasn't for our dog. But we'll see how it goes ๐Ÿ˜‚

Some get along surprisingly well. One of ours was basically raised by dogs and wags his tail violently like one. Another only met one dog and instantly went full murder mode, she's kind of a bitch in general though. Since the kitter is so young that shouldn't be an issue, it's just whether the dog thinks kitty looks like a tasty snack.

But either way best of luck to you and your little furball.

Currently our dog thinks Mark looks and smells like a snack and also sounds like a chew toy ๐Ÿคฆ

He is also a sighthound so I think he'd be triggered if we let mark run on the floor.

On too of that we know that we have some allergies to cats in the house so outlook is not great.

That said, were only helping out - no plans to get s car any time soon. But he really really is cute!๐Ÿ˜
