My bf found a day or two old kitten up a tree all by herself so we took her home after not seeing the mother for quite a few hours.

He was a dedicated father from the start: mixing and bottle feeding formula every few hours and assisted her with her potty needs.

She has now graduated to kitten status (approx. 1 month old) and terrorizes my other two cats like its nobodies business. We love our new addition, but am having the hardest time figuring out what her descents are.

She may still be too young to see any key traits, but I figured i'd leave it to the experts. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Hi There,

It looks to me like you have a beautiful black Domestic Shorthair, and that she has been very well cared for! The stripes will likely disappear as the kitten gets older.

Hard to tell from the photos, but if the eyes are no longer blue, your baby is older than 6 weeks old, possibly closer to 8 weeks.

Thanks to you and your boyfriend for saving this precious baby!

Please keep us posted on how she does as she grows

Regards,
PHKitkat

Very cute pic! He belongs to a subspecies of kitty called "bratus cattus", aka the brat cat. It looks like he has you wrapped around his little paw. Now take good care of that baby.

HAHA too cute!

She looks quite precious for the stinker I am sure she is! What is her name and how old are your two other cats? Are they young enough to keep up? LOL!
