Rescued, Feral kitten

[MysteryChicken]

Update: Kitten has fly strike in the rectum, how do I proceed, or should I put the baby down?

Is it possible to bring the kitten to a shelter or to a veterinary office as a stray?

Our shelter isn't taking in anymore cats, & it's call first. It's not walk in anymore.

We may not be able to afford a trip to the vet's right now. Everything is extra expensive.

There's more kittens, that are hanging out behind our shed in better shape. They're able to run, & get away unlike this kitten.
It was easily grabbed, without fighting back, so there maybe something else wrong with it besides the gunky eyes, & flystrike.

I think I'm going to go ahead make the hard decision for the little girl, & end her suffering.

The baby was too far gone. The maggots ate through her body, between her leg, & abdomen, & began eating her skin within a couple hours.

She would've just been put down at the vets due to the damage.

Got a different feral kitten from the litter. That little bugger bit my finger up, & bit my thumb.
It's feisty, which is a good thing.

Only thing is she's abit thin, so suspecting worms, has alittle bit of chest congestion, & some conjunctivitis in the eyes. Nothing severe. Very mild.

Gonna attempt to tame the kitten for my brother, so the kitten has a new home so it doesn't become Coyote food, or worse.

Pictures of the little girl.

I didn't get the chance to add bedding to the crate, so I'll do that slow, & steady tomorrow to not spook the baby too much.

 

[MysteryChicken]

I do wanna know, what type of maggots would eat a kitten alive, from the inside out within hours?

I do wish I could've save that little cutie.
