Found a stray kitten, can't take to vet right away. What to do?

Question

I just found a stray kitten , I took it in and gave it a bath and fed it but I don't get paid till next week and can't take it to the vet right away ( I'll be able to by next Friday , so in about a week ) and I don't want to put it back outside. I also tried to take it back outside but it just follows me everywhere. Pet's info: Cat | Manx | Female

You may want to call around . I’m our area many practices will do a new pet exam at no fee, then you can schedule for vaccines and such for next week. If you don’t plan to keep the kitty you can take to the humane society or animal control. If the kitten seems bright and alert and healthy then waiting a week for an exam and vaccines is probably ok as well. Regardless you should have her scanned for a microchip as she may be lost and her family may be looking for her. Any veterinary hospital can do this at no charge. Good luck and thanks for using Pet Coach.
