How to raise Backyard Chickens: Re: [CHICKENS-101] caught a teeny tiny black kitten

It'll make it, our Animal Control will work with the kitten. Better that it go than be killed by the viscous tom cat next door. It killed my Izzie. When the kitten gets close to it's time up it'll go to Friends of Genesee Shelter. I'll make a donation when they come and get the kitten so if she/he needs kitten milk, bottle fed, or special vitamins, my donation will help. When I adopted my cat Maggie Pie 20 years ago, Officers had bottle fed her. Her momma and siblings didn't make it. They'd been tossed in a dumpster in something...I don't remember what they told me. Maggie lived a long and good life.

Hope the little kitten makes it.  My experience with animal control was that there were too many and the ones that needed help were put to night night forever.
Poor little kitty.
There is a feral black young cat running around my place.  One day it got stuck in an enclosed chicken area and went nutty with fear trying to get out.
When the cat sees me it runs.  Can't figure out why it likes to be with chickens.
I had a squirrel that liked to sun with the chickens.  Hadn't seen it for awhile -- kitty must have gotten hungry -- found the squirrels tail.  :(

 Went back out to shut off part of the fans and turn others on low, then checked the live traps.  I caught a teeny, tiny, sack of bones, black kitten, way to small to be without it's momma.  I put the trap in the cattle barn and took a tuna can of tuna out and water.  The kitten is so wild that it is terrified of me and ran to the other side of the trap. I was able to put food and water in the trap with the kitten. I'll call Animal Control in the morning; they'll come and get it. The kitten needs prompt medical care from the shape it is in and their volunteer vets will provide everything it needs.
