Maybe you have some suggestions. Someone put a 3 week old kitten on my porch (probably because they knew I fed the other cats). Anyway I have had her for over 2 weeks now. she has a bad cold (Sneezing constantly, running eyes and nose) that I can't get rid of (she's had it as long as I've had her.). There are NO VETS in this country and no pharmacy, so I can't get help. I can't give her human medicines, she's much too little. She doesn't seem to be growing either, but otherwise seems healthy. I found a home for her with a local staff assistant, I promised to give him a huge bag of food for her. She can't really eat dry food, I have to soak it to soften it for her. Anyway, I don't know how I can give this kitten to him. He is a local South Sudenese with very little money, he has 7 kids, no electricity, he has nothing really, but he has offered to take this kitten. But, how can I, in good conscience give him a sick kitten to bring home to his kids? What do I do? She can't make it on her own and I can't bring her home with me in December, no vets means no health certificate. I'm at my wits end and time is running out, I leave here in a month. Any ideas? If I could just get rid of her cold, I wouldn't feel so bad about giving her to him.
