Yep, I have another new baby! 
Yesterday Jack was outside working on the shed and hollered for me. In the blackberry bushes was this tiny little baby girl. Soaking wet and barely moving.
Jack said better take her in and make her comfortable as she is not going to make it. Oh and you know Jack, the guy that said
"NO MORE CATS!"
Well I took her in and quickly got her in a towel and rubbed her down, then immediately fed her a bottle. Not easy when she hardly had any strength. Then I took her upstairs and gave her a warm bath, I even tried to wash off her tan fur!
I thought it was either dirt or poo! LOL Then I got out the trusty old heating pad and warmed her up. Been feeding her every hour and a half to two hours since, and she is getting stronger! She is even sucking on the bottle now! 
I tried to find her mama, but the only one that had babies about a week ago wanted nothing to do with her.
Here she is laying in the sunshine.......
Here is her adorable little face......
And this is to show you just how tiny she is.....
Her eyes are opened but she doesn't see anything yet, she can't hold her head up and just sort of rolls around, her ears are still closed and the poor little baby's tail is broken.
I don't know how that happened or when.
I am so afraid of hurting her, she is so tiny and fragile.... Her little paws have hardly any fur on them yet and are sort of transparent. Oh and her coloring is white with tan and gray markings.
Haven't named her yet, still thinking on that one.
