Just a quick note to tell you all that the cosmic tumblers clicked into place for the kitten yesterday, and a foster appeared as if by magic. Consensus is that this baby is 3-1/2 to 4 weeks old, and too young to be without mama's milk. Covered in fleas and mud, the kitten drank about three tablespoons of formula at first go. The Hubby and I were very worried when the kitten ate no food, but neither of us have any experience with little, little kittens like this guy. Or girl...I'm sure I'll learn a lot more soon.
I did not sleep last night, thinking of how everything transpired:
1) I drove down a road I rarely take for my morning commute
2) Had a fresh, clean carrier in the trunk
3) Had contacts around Metro Detroit that were galvanized to help out
4) The Hubby pitched in and helped me to help the kitten
5) A surprise foster appeared, when I was sure none would be found for another couple of days or even weeks
Thank you all for your good wishes; I'm sure I'll have updates on the kitten's progress!
P.S. I drove down the same street again today, with my eyes peeled for any mama cat or other kittens running around. Saw nothing, but I'll continue to eye-ball the area at every chance I get! Only a mile from my accident in January, and on the same road. What is the cosmos trying to tell me?

Need Help! Found Kitten!
On my way to work, I took a road less traveled, and witnessed this kitten running across a three-lane highway! Fortunately, the kitten was on the grass when I pulled my car over and chased her down. Because I had that extra carrier in my trunk, I put her inside and turned around and drove home. This little baby is now in my garage, with one of my shirts as a bed and a bowl of canned food.
I am calling out to any rescue group in Metro Detroit...or anywhere...HALP! The health problems we have with Chuck right now make this the most imperfect time to foster for my family. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE reach out to help me find a place for this cutie! I've contacted two rescue groups so far; they are full. C'mon folks...please!
Thank you!
P.S. Don't know if it's a boy or girl, and my guess is 3-4 weeks old. A bit of hissing, but both The Hubby and I can handle the kitten!
