As it says in the title, he crawled out from under the house while I was out on my stoop, having a cigarette break. I knew I couldn’t just let him run around, and he couldn’t go back under there and get lost.

I’ve seen his mother go in and out of there from time to time, but I also know her as a neighborhood cat that would likely abandoned him. So I grabbed him up and took him in. I have tried to poke my head and this access hole and another one on the other side of the house and look around a bit to see if there were any other kittens, but I couldn’t see or hear any.

It’s probably only about four weeks old, so I’ve been feeding him some wet cat food, giving him water. I have a roommate that’s going to foster him.

We’ve named him Raindrop because it was raining out when he emerged from under the house. He’s extremely snuggly, chatty, and active! ❤️

I would also recommend to go to a vet so you can get the best food and care for him. Like anti worm pills, the right food for its age, vaccinations, and in the future a chip and castration.

Especially if it's 4 weeks old, it's too young to be away from its mother so it needs special care. There are also YouTube videos of people taking care of these young fur balls which can help you give him the right care.
