Hard to guess either age or weight from the picture, but I think she's looks to be in the kitten food stage. The recommended age to continue feeding kitten food is up to a year; you've had her two months or so, you're guessing her age is about 4-5 months, so I'd say at least another 4-5 months.

But it deceptively easy to under-guess the age of cats, especially when they are undernourished. Both my boys were strays, severely underweight and looked much younger than originally estimated. Usually their bodies are so much smaller than their heads they appear much younger.

The most recent stray, The Big Guy, looked about a year old based on size when we found him. After 10 months, he's doubled his body weight (he's up to 22 pounds) and now the vet estimates him to be a fully mature cat. We're now thinking he's about 3-4.

I'm not sure what you've given her that's over the counter to help her grow. Basically all she'll need is good food and water, along with lots of love. She will need a visit to the vet though, sooner than later, to look for any other underlying health issues, or other parasites that may not have been handled with the dewormer.

Also, she'll need vaccinations, especially rabies. If she happens to bite you and there is no verification of a rabies vaccine if you need treatment for any infection, there is a chance she could be quarantined.

That happened with The Big Guy we found. He bit me, the bite became severely infected and I needed treatment. Since we could not verify any rabies vaccine (and that's one of the first things they ask with animal bites) he needed to spend 21 days in quarantine at the Humane Society.

Better to put up with a little bit of an unhappy cat than to risk something more serious down the road. She'll forgive and forget the trip in the carrier and the car.

Thank you. I been kinda bouncing around with her age so, we got natural balance all ages food small bites and i mix it with wet food her she loves it! The only over the counter meds ive given her has been the dewormer. She is truly a delight and im hoping to get her to vet next week. She just looses it when we try putting her in the crate.

Thanks for the award. I understand about cats and crates....The Big Guy still hates the crate. I think he believes every time he gets in the crate or rides in the car he's going to some place bad. But they do get over it and love you just as much when they get back home.

There's a trick to getting a cat in a crate: stuffing them in head first doesn't usually work. Instead, set the crate on it's end, open side up. Grab the cat by the scruff of the neck (it looks worse than it feels for the cat) supporting her back end with the other hand. Lower her backside first in the crate, and as soon as she's in the crate, let go of her and close the cover. It helps to have two people to do this.

Cats tend to jump back up as soon as they're feet or back end hits the bottom of the crate, so be quick with closing the door.

Cats put in face first to the crate tend to get their front legs out and push away from the crate. Plus they don't like looking into the crate as they're going in. By dropping them in back first, you're alleviating that fear they get from seeing they're going into the crate. She still won't like it but it may make it a bit easier getting her in the crate.

Good luck.
