Comments i've never been able to pay a vet bill and then let go ... except that one time i rescued a hit-by-car kitty and ended up giving her to my best friend (where she still is). perhaps the kitten is so calm cause he-she's so freaked out. sounds normal to me. when i brought in my two brothers, they were together, from a nice home to a nice home, but i have three other cats so it took the wee ones a few days to become fully "kittenish ". i say keep the kitty. but then again, i'm a cat lady.
