She was filthy, malnourished and in miserable shape when we rescued her…and way too weak for a bath. After about two weeks of intensive care, she was strong enough I thought she’d be able to handle a warm bath. I was astounded at how much dirt came off such a teeny kitten! She did complain a bit about the bath however. 😀 We dont normally bath our cats in water, they do a good enough job themselves…but Maya was a special case, being so young and too weak initially to clean herself.
