Hi! It's Zoe. Last Friday it rained while I was at school, and when we went outside to get picked up it had stopped raining. One of the teachers asked some of us if we wanted a kitten. First, I thought he was joking, but then he lead us to a small, wet kitten that he had found and had put in a dry place to shelter it from the rain. When my parents arrived to pick me up I asked them if we could take it home and care for it. They said yes! I was so happy!
When we got home, my daddy and I came up with the perfect name for the kitten, Raindrop, because she is small and she was found shortly after it had rained. We put Raindrop in my mommy's bathroom because it is the safest place to keep her. With this done, we went to the closest pet store and got her a tiny baby bottle made for kittens and kitten baby formula to feed her.
At the pet store, we learned how to take care of her. She has to be fed eight times a day or every three hours! This included during the night. When they told us this I knew it was going to take more work than I expected to take care of Raindrop.
When we got home from the pet store, I fed Raindrop the kitten formula. She was so hungry. After she had enough milk, we had to burp her just like a baby. It was so cute. She fell asleep on my daddy's shoulder. (see the picture below)
Soon after we fed her, we made her a little bed with a heating blanket underneath a towel, to keep her warm, she feel asleep immediately, while my mommy sang "Raindrops Are Falling On My Head" to her.
Later, I made her a play house with cardboard and hot glue, making improvements here and there, until I had a finished product that she loves! (watch the video below with her in the playhouse)
I have fun playing with Raindrop, and I've learned many interesting things with this experience. But most importantly, we hope to find Raindrop a nice and loving home soon. Bye!
