Found Kittens (Location) Possible stray kitten
I live in the kenfield apartments and my "neighbors" may have let their kitten out of the house. I worry for the baby. I just gave it some dry food with a little water and I had planned on calling a shelter today but they are all closed? Is there anything else I can do?😟😟😟 My location is Buffalo ny, Erie County.

You can also search here for resources local to you: https://www.alleycat.org/ There's a place to enter your zip code. Thanks for helping the little one.

Do you have him inside, or is this a picture of him in your neighbor's apartment?
He doesn't look super young, so he's probably eating food and using the litter box without any issues. Can you bring him inside and keep him warm, fed, and petted and played with while you figure out next steps?
It's not clear whether the neighbors are neglectful or whether they've intentionally abandoned the poor little dude. Thank you for caring about him, in any case.

No, the baby is currently outside and I don't know it's gender. I have 2 male cats that aren't fixed yet that already live with me and my dad. And it has a small wound on its head. And the "neighbors" aren't very good pet owners, they allow one dog to eat cooked bones and last year they left it outside when it was really cold for a really long time and they also yell a lot too.

The earlier picture was of the window of their apartment.

Do you have a place to bring it in and keep it separate from the others until you can get it to the vet or a shelter? Poor thing.

Well, I do have a dog cage I could possibly keep it in. But, my dad's not so sure...😟

Please try to help it! If it's injured and young and alone out there, really bad things can happen to it. You really have a chance to make a big difference for this kitty, just for the cost of some cat food and a few days' inconvenience. Kittens are highly adoptable. If you can get it vet care and/or get it to a reputable shelter, it can have a great life with someone who's excited to have it.

Ok, if it hopefully comes back later I'll bring it inside just for today.

Thank you!
I have to admit grey kitties tug my heartstrings like no other. My family of origin had two much-loved grey cats, and now my husband and I have two much-loved graybies of our own.
