Hello, and welcome! First of all, congratulations on your new furry friend! It’s wonderful that you’ve opened your home to a stray kitten. Kittens can have unique needs, so let's go over a few things to help her settle in comfortably.
Since she’s had a rough start, keep an eye on her overall health. Common concerns for stray kittens include worms, fleas, and respiratory infections. Check if she has a potbelly, which could indicate worms, or if she's scratching a lot, which might mean fleas.
Ensure she has a warm and safe space to relax—it’s crucial as kittens can’t regulate their body temperature well. You can use a soft blanket or a small heating pad set on low. When it comes to food, offer high-quality kitten food with easy access to fresh water. And, of course, lots of love and gentle handling will go a long way!
Watch for warning signs like labored breathing, persistent coughing or sneezing, lack of appetite, or diarrhea, as these might need urgent attention.
While it sounds like vet access might be tricky, I recommend booking a video consult with Dial A Vet so we can take a closer look and guide you in ensuring she starts life in her new home as healthy as possible!

Real questions, vet reviewed answers and quality care.
It was so easy, I needed some eye drops for my dog and thinking about going to the vet on a weekend made me nervous about the cost involved. Dial A Vet was a much simpler, cheaper option with faster results. Within 10 minutes of the call, I had the medicine I needed for my dog without an expensive consultation.
A great fast efficient service with a qualified vet who was lovely and helpful. Thank you Samantha. I was able to sort my dog at 6pm on a Sunday night for $49 - amazing. Highly recommend.

What an amazing service, at my wits end as I knew my beautiful dog had an ear infection, could not get into the vet for 4 days. Never knew there was vets online until I googled. Within 15 minutes on a Sunday I was taking to beautiful Samantha who diagnosed and treated our Jasper. Only $49. She trusted that we knew our boy and gave us lots of advice. I will definitely be using dial a vet every time and sharing with all my friends and family. Absolutely fantastic kind caring service. 11/10
