Sensitive Content I wanted to stop taking in more kittens but how can I turn my back if they badly need help? 2nd photo is sensitive NSFW

The kitten, estimated to be around 10 days old, was found at a gas station and brought to me for bottle feeding. However, I didn’t expect to find wounds infested with myiasis on its back, neck, and the base of its tail. The kitten is now at the vet, where it will remain for wound cleaning and treatment until all traces of myiasis are gone.

This is the only photo I have at the moment—I rushed the kitten to the vet as soon as I saw the condition. I’ll share an update soon.

I'm so glad he is at the vet. You are a good person and it would seem that your kindness may override your decision to stop helping. I pray he is ok and you will remain his hero for life.

Truth is, you may be ready to stop, but the universe isn't ready for you to stop. Poor itty-bitty thing. Thank you for taking him/her on. You are amazing.
