[quote=“kittenrescue.org”]Should I Take in an Abandoned Kitten?
Be certain kittens are really abandoned before you disturb a nest. A momcat can be harder to spot than the stealth bomber, but just because she

I’m bumping this up because I think we need a stray cat & kitten FAQ (and one for dogs & pups) easily accessible in this forum; perhaps the mods can prioritize or sticky it?
We need info on de-fleaing, vaccinations, etc. all in one place, IMO, to facilitate temporary and permanent fostering.
VACCINATIONS
First, definitely get all those vaccinations, folks, and don’t skimp (get the 5-in-1!!!). Get them on time, keep a record booklet (the vet should give you one and help you fill it out each time), and be sure to do the follow-up shots.
Our Ginger just came down with a severe case of rhino (rhinotracheitis virus), and she had received both her rhino vaccines on time. 
The vet said the efficacy of the vaccines can be affected by various factors such as whether the cat is fighting off a cold infection at the time, but I’m imagining that as with human flu vaccines, how close the circulating strain is to the strain used to produce the vaccine is more relevant. However, this siteclaims there is only one strain out there.
Here are some websites on cat vaccination:

Here are some of the existing threads on cat care, btw:

That’s lots of info. Thanks guys. I’ve added this to the part about cats in [url=http://tw.forumosa.com/t/pets-info-pets-problems-vets-lists-taiwan-animals-etc/28563/1 thread.[/url] It’s stickied. 
The kitten rescue handbook link is broken! I came home last night to four kittens in a box on my doorstep, they seem to be about three weeks old. They can stand and crawl, but I can’t get them to lap up food. My roommate says that one of the local furniture sellers found them while moving furniture, waited three days for their mom to come, and was about to send them to a kill shelter. Does anyone know of any no-kill shelters? Or have any advice on rearing kittens? They’re crawling with fleas, of course, so my roommate won’t let them in the house. We’ve got them in a blanket-lined box with a hot water bottle and we’ve been feeding them warm formula. I’ve been able to get them to pee, but not poop. I washed one of them, but it seemed like an ordeal and I’m not sure it’s worth the risk of them getting cold. Any help would be appreciated! I’m hoping they can pee and poop by themselves soon, I put a small dish of litter in their.
You need to buy kitten formula, available for about $600NT, from any vet. And a little feeding bottle. Don’t feed them cow’s milk. No idea about human baby formula, but I’m guessing it won’t be quite right.
While feeding, hold the kitten upright so it’s feet are dangling out the bottom of your hand and it’s front paws can hold the bottle (this bit is amazingly cute).
You need to massage the kitten’s bunghole with a cotton bud or wet tissue to make them poo. Since they’re still alive, I’m assuming their mum has been doing this until quite recently, but you need to address the issue as a matter of urgency.
Fleas: get a flea comb from the vet. You’ll need to comb them several times - ask vet for advice.
Give them plenty of blankets and space to move around (if they get too hot). Kittens can’t control their body temperature too well.
If you notice any one of them start to sneeze, separate him/her. They’ll get awfully upset about this (try to arrange things so they can see each other) but it’s for their own good.
Finally, be prepared for the fact that not all of them will survive. It’s normal for one or more to just fade away. They tend to get ill and stop feeding, and although you can keep them alive with intubation (it’s not difficult) and they may yet recover, it’s perhaps kinder to let nature take its course.
Finley’s advice is spot on. Take them to a vet first off to be checked and de-fleaed. He’ll have proper sprays for that. You are feeding them baby formula (better to switch to kitten formula though I have used the human stuff on my cats) so they must be very little. And yes they must poo as soon as possible. How are the eyes? I wouldn’t be surprised if they get gluey as mom usually licks the eyes at this age to keep them clean. You might want to ask the vet for drops.
Basically keep that up for a while (ask the vet for how long, but usually not more than a couple weeks) and then start to introduce boiled fish and chicken, and also dry cat food.
Kittens are actually really easy to raise after this initial period. You just feed them, provide litter, and play with them.
Good luck and good on you for taking this responsibility.
Well, those is all good advice.
I am very sad today, and thinking about cat rescue a lot. On a train station where I get on and off every morning to get to work, there was a feral (I believe) cat, living on the parking lot for scooters, often getting fed by people there. I often see him sitting on the station or on one of the parked scooters. He wasn’t very afraid of people.
I was wondering if I should do something… it didn’t look sick or hungry, so I wasn’t sure if it would be right to take it from there. I cannot keep a second cat now, and wasn’t sure if I can then “dump” him to one of the rescue organizations here in Taichung. So I did nothing.
Today I saw this kitty on the rail tracks literally cut in half 
I saw him passing the tracks before, I dunno… I thought it had the trains figured out. Now I keep thinking I should have try to do something about him all the times before.
What do you think? Should cats living in the “wild”, if healthy, should be just left as they are? Or not?
I really feel quite guilty about this kitty now…
Poor thing. At least it was quick. Most stray cats die from unpleasant infections or starvation. Not a pretty way to go.
Personally, it disappoints me that our urban designs are inimical to all other species except ourselves - and frankly, they’re pretty crap at supporting us, too. I’ve fed or adopted a few strays in the past, but you can’t adopt all of them. At some point, it’s every cat for himself. My focus in life - what makes me tick - is developing new things and processes that allow humans to live productively and cooperatively with the rest of the natural world, instead of being engaged in an unending battle with it, intentionally or otherwise.

That’s harsh and I’m sorry you had to see that.
In general leave healthy looking cats alone unless you are going to catch, neuter and release them. Most aren’t really able to make the transition from the streets to an apartment. And unlike dogs, cats generally do okay on the streets. Maybe not at the end, as finley points out, but then that is true of almost all life, including us.
Don’t feel guilty (though I know that is impossible). Try to channel the guilt by helping out at an organization or at least donating a bit of money.
sigh… yeah, I hope next time I can do sth, at least ask the Taichung guys if they can help 
Just earlier this week I’ve started sponsoring a kitty (I knew her from Forumosa, she was rescued in Taichung too). I really hope I can adopt one more kitty at least in near future But I know I can’t help them all.
Thanks for the advice everyone! Update on the kittens- they are all still alive, playing a little, and pooping by themselves. So now it’s a matter of weaning them. One of them is “starting to fade,” though, but I’m hoping I can keep him alive. He still eats some, but not nearly as much as the others. I still haven’t found a vet- any ideas? I live in Tucheng, and I have a scooter. My roommate was the one that took them in, so I thought she’d taken them to the vet, but it turns out she hasn’t and doesn’t see the need to. She’s talking about taking them to a shelter now, which sucks, because I can’t take care of them by myself until they’re weaned. Any advice on weaning? I read the ASPCA website, but any tips would be helpful.
don’t know Tucheng much, as I’m from Taichung. But there’s usually a lot of vet clinics in Taiwan. There are some together with bigger pet stores. Maybe you cna drive around and search, or check google maps? Something like that goo.gl/maps/VfGQI
Instead of shelter, please try to convince your friend to try other methods!
Today at the train station I’ve told you about few posts above, I saw another kitty, by the looks sister/brother of the one that was killed by train. It was just more dirty and wild (I remember before there used to be 3 of them, then for a long while only 1 was visible socializing with people).
Now I am thinking how should I try to get him, and what exactly to do once I do get him in a carrier. 
I’m worried this one is more wild, and might not be so willing to go into a carrier @_@
