I would love to take this lil guy home, but I can't afford another critter. Hoping that he won't get himself killed. He hasn't stepped under horses yet which is good.

wasn’t trying to shame you, sorry if that’s how it came off. this lil fluff just reminded me of the baby i brought home. hopefully yours is more situationally aware than mine 🧡

Oh I wasn't offended all! I was just lamenting over not being able to adopt the lil bugger lol. I'm really glad you got to take the orange barn kitten that you met home!

I've had a lot of farm cats in my life. Usually when they reach this age at this time of year, they're very likely to live for quite a long time. Winter kittens have a much harder time, because they climb into vehicle engines for warmth. When they're born at this part of the year, they learn to avoid vehicles when we approach them
