Updates:

Second night cleared. But I realize that she was not drinking water the full day. So yesterday gone to a vet and bought some kitty milk power. Today instead of water she have 50ml of mix plus oat with rice, chicken meat and pumpkin.

Her poo is now in a better shape, still same colour but starting to get more solid, with less water content, so less water lost by her.

She looks like a 2 week old but I would say that she is 1 week or almost 2 older, because of eating wet solid food.

I'd suggest to place the water bowl somewhere else than the regular food bowl.
Cats tend to drink water not where they are eating.

All the best for the little Meeow.

If she really is that young, she should be getting cat milk replacement formulae and being fed around the clock.

This is Chloe.  I rescued her along with her sister by the road (she was just sitting by the side of the road while her litter mates played in the center with mom watching).  I managed to grab the 2 sickest kittens.   Neither i nor my vet thought she would make it.  She was very ill and malnourished (probably the runt of the litter), but she had determination.   I think she was around 6 weeks when I grabbed her and had to feed her around the clock for a couple weeks.  Her sister. who was in much better shape, had to help her with the litter box

She was so malnourished my vet thought she would suffer eye problems.  Turned out fine; she can spot a bug on the wall 6 meters away.

I thought I would only foster them until they got better, but you can imagine how that worked out.

She's one of only two cats that have given me nose licks.  She's seven this year.

What about the fellow talked about in this article. He must be a real cat lover.
https://www.whiskeyriff.com/2022/06/09/man-on-his-way-to-the-shooting-range-stops-to-rescue-a-kitten-on-the-side-of-the-road-ends-up-with-thirteen/

Unfortunately I can't keep a cat anymore due to my wife having a cat allergy. It is almost a year now that we brought our Ollie to an animal paradise. Was over 400Km away from where we live but we were not able to find a good home for her nearby. Luckily she adapted reasonably quick and his happy now. http://www.dierenparadijs-anjou.com/Dierenparadijs/Welkom.html or on facebook https://www.facebook.com/DierenparadijsFR/ The people running it are amazing and really love all animals. We support them with donations like a lot of other people do too.

Some pictures from in the beginning when she was adjusting to the change.

Well, thanks for the tidbit - I didn't know that but our cats' behaviour now makes sense.

Maxim found a ball, I don't remember where it came from. So, he's bringing it to me so I can throw it in any direction I want, but please throw it now! Then we will do it more until I wish another activity.

I told my friends I could teach them to be funny, but they all just laughed at me.

Update 2:

Two more days gone. She's going great. Her stomach is way better, so I got her to the vet for a check up. She got sprayed to kill the parasites on the fur, and is currently changing to wet food per vet orders.

She is close to 1 month old but underdeveloped.

Also she got a name now: Wonder, given by the new owner, the Welsh neighbour. She will be kept in my home for one more week and next week goes to his house. Although yesterday she was at the new owner's house for some hours to get used and because of the flea spray (I didn't want my kid to touch her).

Here the last video from her, without sound to respect the new owner's privacy since he was on a work call -

That pair was popular among the kids waaaaay back when I was in primate school…  that's when I first heard them too.  There wasn't even an internet back then…

Yeah some cats do like to be brushed, but this one is very special. :)

Before we brought our cat to her new home we tried if brushing her every morning and evening would reduce my wives problems with the allergy. Ollie liked it very much and started to ask for it :) but unfortunately it did not help.

For me a bit of consolation, the cat of our neighbors is visiting us once in a while. She is very skittish and won't come near to be petted, but maybe over time. Yesterday she picked our terrace to take a nap on.

A cat in nature does this himself by scratching objects, but the coolness for me is how easy going he is being "worked" on. Bathing a cat is also not needed for a healthy cat. They do a very good job themselves. But no stress when the water was running over its face :)

And how shall this poor cat now shred the furniture and the wallpapers?

On a more serious note: could it still climb a cat tree?

Some cats need a little help.  Without trimming or normal wear, they may grow around into the foot pad.  One of my cats will grow little callouses that mirror her claws and those need to be trimmed.  If nails click when they walk, they're too long.

Stan, who passed a little over a year ago, always knew exactly where his claws were.  If he wanted something, he would come by, sit and look at me.  If I ignored him, he would come up and pat my leg (claws sheathed).  If I still ignored him, the claws would come out and he would make a more pointed argument .
