I am a firm believer in crates for puppies. How long do you crate a kitten ?

I have never crated a cat/kitten. I have left them in a bathroom with litter box until I was certain they where well trained.

Same here. One room, one cat, one litterbox. Additional rooms as behavior warrants and still one room at night. Eventually, the run of the house with perhaps another litterbox in my big abode.

No, that's no good for a door bolter, when there's only one bathroom and that room also contains a small hallway with not so safe kitty stuff.
Tonight is the day I've been planing on letting her stay with me in the bedroom. Going to put a litter box in there, water and then play with her in there for a couple hours.
If I could find the cover for the one litter box, she wouldn't be such a mess when I let her out....Not that much of an issue, the litter does brush out eventually, but she really loves to be glued to me. So now I have grey dust all over me and everything else. She's laying over my lap right now while I'm using the upstairs PC. Sitting on the desk, blocking use of the keyboard wasn't close enough, lol.
But she's got bigger issues. Looks like she came sick and my only options are to pay for it or return the kitty. Rescues sure don't back up the health of their cats, yet demand home inspections. Hah! They can just kiss it, those fake caring snobs.
Anyway, trying to set up a vet appointment for sometime soon.

I hope her illness isn't a deal breaker. I love my pets, but pets and pets and I won't spend too much money on serious illnesses.

Does she have a upper respiratory infection ? Common when cats are kept together it is air born.

My first thought was distemper. It has been a long time since I've had an animal with that. Do they have a cure by now? I know the cats I don't have get vaccines to prevent itl

Cats do have distemper Vaccine. Most rescue give it before putting up for adoption. More likely a forum of feline upper respiratory inflection . Is kitten sneezing runny eyes snot draining from nose?

Sounds like every cats Sis has every adopted! Poor miss Glory came with respiratory junk and all these years later gets it again about once a year.

No, she has a weird skin issue on the bottom eye lids. Not affecting the eyes at all, not itchy, she's not bothered at all by it. =/
No one seems to know what it is. Google has no pics that look like it, either.
Playing phone tag now with the vet...Phone is linked to our internet and the net has been terrible last 3 days, so...ugh.
Kitty spent the night sleeping under the dining table, came up in the morning. She's stalking the gerbils now.
