Pet's info: Cat | Mixed Breed | Male | unneutered | 9 days old | 0.7 lbs
Are there any programs to help cover vet costs and other costs such as food? I am trying to care for an abandoned newborn kitten, but I can't afford all of the costs for vet checkups, vaccines, spaying, food, and everything this kitten will need.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! It is wonderful you are trying to help Mila but as you have stated, owning a pet is a huge financial responsibility. While I am sure you love her and want to do the best for her, you may want to consider giving her to a rescue to care for. They have the funds to raise her until she can be adopted to a good home to continue her care. I would call around to the local shelter and ask for cat rescue phone numbers. They will have foster families available to continue her care. Good luck and kisses to Mila!
