Harley the Rescue Kitten is 8 weeks old

how was the domestication process with a simi newborn kitten?
also, how where the ears? wild cats/rescues often have nat ear problems.
are you going to train him?
plans on maybe groomers visit?

Easy he thinks Iā€™m his mom LOL

I didnā€™t see any mites luckily.

Oh of course. Heā€™s already litter trained and trained to come to me when I say his name. I have started the process of harness training.

Possibly but I can groom him too. We used to have to do it with one of our dogs and with him being so tame it shouldnā€™t be an issue. He already let me trim his claws with no issues at all.

Lol I would but it would be another thing to manage.

Well, more like ā€œmom why are you lacking hair?ā€ but anyway XD

Mixture of two things:
Harley for either Harley Davidson OR Harley Quin from batman and joker because when I first found him I wasnā€™t sure what his sex was (now I know he is DEF a male kitten).

Secondly reminds me of how my dad found this little black puppy along the side of the road and took it home with him. He was on his bike and the whole thing with finding Harley reminded me of that.

This is my crew (the damage is actually from previous owners of the furniture, but with pets around, seems like a good idea to keep the old stuff).

Rescue dog whoā€™d been hit by a car. She has a bit of a fracture on the growth plate of her knee, so we make sure she gets lots of gentle exercise. She was a foster. I wanted a dog, but I didnā€™t want a puppy, a small dog, or a floppy eared dog. What I got was a six month old lab mutt who never got any bigger than 30 pounds because she had the good taste to eat too much cat food and get sick, triggering my husbotā€™s paternal instincts.

The bagged cat is a cat whoā€™d been returned to the shelter 3 times. His second owners adopted him as a kitten and declawed him. He had major bathroom issues and was pretty skittish. We fostered him for a weekend because the shelter was too full of cats. With a little one on one time, he stopped being afraid of us, andā€¦ Whelp. Foster fail number 2. Speaking of number 2, weā€™re managing his inappropriate elimination very nicely with a change of litter and lots of positive feedback. He still doesnā€™t like novelty, but when heā€™s relaxed, heā€™s a big playful lug whoā€™s also a cuddlebugā€¦ Which brings us to number 3.

We had a rotating roster of cats to get them out of the shelter and to be friends for our big cat. Well, an eye infection set in on the shelter and our foster of the weekend hadnā€™t gotten it, so we decided weā€™d keep her a bit longer. Which meant that big cat got seriously attached by the time she could go back safely. Which is why we have 3 pets that we were ā€œonly keeping for a few days to help socialize them.ā€
