Will the Kitten make it?

Go to the pet store and get some milk for cats and kittens and get a bottle, make sure the hole is big enough for the milk to come through, I had to cut a tiny little bit off the tip of mine when I found a kitten. I don't know about cow's milk but I don't think it'll hurt for the one time so they kitten has a chance to survive but after that, I'd definetly get kitten milk at the pet store. How is it doing now?

Don't you regular milk! Go to the nearest supermarket/petshop and buy cat milk (it's really a substitute, it doesn't really come from a cat) and ask where you can buy a baby bottle to feed him (he needs a really small bottle). Being so small, he won't be able to poop for himself. You'll need to gently rub his belly as so he can defecate. Keep him in a warm place and don't let the kids handle him too much. Best luck! :)

The best thing I can offer you is to direct you to an article I wrote for Associated Content sometime ago..I went through this a number of times in taking care of newborn or very young kittens. In a pinch if you don't have that special kitten formula milk...regular milk will do believe it or not. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/408409/a_guide_on_how_to_take_care_of_young.html?cat=53 Please read it.. I give a lot of tips on kitten care. Oh and keep us posted how it survives. Unfortunately despite your best efforts it may not survive...usually a mother cat won't abandon it's baby unless there's something wrong with it..here's hoping for the best though

Wow, I don't see how you could save a creature that newly born. There is special milk for that, you can get it at Walmart or Petsmart. I wonder why the mother left it? You could always take it to your vet or call him up and get his advice.

There are step by step instructions on the link below. I tried to copy and paste it but I haven't posted enough for My Lot to let me do that. The instructions on this link are really clear. cats.about.com/od/newbornkittens/Newborn_Kittens_Orphans_Feral_Litters.htm

no you cant give it regular milk - you must give is kitten formula - you get it at any pet store you will have to feed it ever 2 hours and help stimulate it to go to the bathroom - this will go on for about 6 weeks - it will die really fast you dont take care of it like this - if you dont want it find a rescue REALLY QUICK - OR FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN HANDLE THE RESPONSIBILITY - CALL A FEW VETS = BUT PLEASE PLEASE DO IT RIGHT

I'm sure by now you know what you need and whether or not the kitten will live. I hate when things like that happen. And you feel like you are responsible for the animal. At least I do and do what I can to help it survive. I've never taken care of a kitten before, but I have done so for a couple of puppies and a couple of sugar gliders. Hope everything works out!

You need to get cat formula you can buy it one can at a time from the store. An eye dropper will do if you can't find a little bottle for it. It will be touch and go but there is a good chance with TLC the little tyke could make it through.

don't give it regular milk-it'll get kitten diarrhea. there is a formula they sell at petsmart,petco or any vet that replaces mother's milk.

Please bring the kitten to the veterinarian. Please do your best to save the kitten. You know, every good thing you do will come back to you.

I wouldn't give the kitten regular milk until it's at least four weeks old. Before that the digestive system isn't built up enough to handle something like that. Also, I would use bottled water for mixing the formula. Tap water has too many additives and other stuff that won't help the kitten. You should get something soft and fuzzy like it's mother for it to nest in. It will give it a bigger sense of security. I have raised new borns and had to help the mama out and I found that if you have something soft and fuzzy around them they will flourish. Also, you will want to "bathe" them. That amounts to not only rubbing their underside gently, but using a dry terry wash cloth gently rub them from head to tail like the mama would. It helps the kitten's circulation along with, again, promoting a sense of security and well being in the kitten. Above all make sure it's warm and out of drafts as they can get sick quickly. I hope the kitten makes it, the mama may have been just too young to understand about taking care of it's babies.

u have to feed it kitten nursing milk from the pet store and put it into a little bottle and feed it yourself.

you canmake the kitten formula yerself rather than go to the expense of trying to find it at a pet store or vet. the recipe is as follows 1 can evaporated milk 1 can water 1 egg yolk 1 capful of LIGHT karo syrup (the dark will kill it) shake it up in a container and keep it refridgerated.. warm to body temp before feeding same as you would a human infant. use an eyedropper or one of those kitten bottles, and feed every two hours. ive taken care of dozens of orphaned kittens in my life, some just as newly born as the one you were left with, and never lost a single one of them thankfully. hopefully youll get just as lucky.

i hope its gonna make it. just a couple of month back a cat in my backyard has given birth to 4 kittens but only one of them survived. apart from taking care in feeding, you have to make sure that it doesn't fall prey to birds as it is just new born

i never have a kitten yet... so i didn't know how to care for a kitten... especially new born... i hope other users here can help you more and give you more tips... good luck... i hope you can save the kitten and it will survive... take care and have a nice day...

throughrob my goodness odd that the mom cat would just leave one baby like that, maybe the mom c at was really ill or something. I would get hold of your closest veterinarian and ask for help in caring for a new born baby cat. thats so interesting, as Ihad thought a mama cat would try to save all her babies. must be more to the story I guess.

I've had numerous strays abandoned by a momma cat in our neighborhood left on my doorstep. I've tried the kitten formula and a tiny bottle but when they are that small they often just don't make it. The last litter found was taken in by my neighbor, and she ended up losing all of them. I hope by the time I post this your little one is still with you and doing good. I see that you've already received great advice from the others.

There's a special kitten formula you can get at Walmart. If you can't take care of the kitten take it to you local vet or animal control so they can humanely put it down.
