My cat is lost and she has given birth 2weeks ago. will she come back? wat shall i do for the kittens?

Answer 1

I've hand raised kittens before, from just a couple days old. I found them covered in fire ants, with mama no where around. Apart from ant bites, they checked out as healthy.

Very young kittens cannot maintain their own body temperature and need external warmth to keep them alive. Keeping a kitten warm is extremely important and can be accomplished by several methods. A hot water bottle is a good tool to use but make certain that the bottle is wrapped in a towel and that it is not so hot that the kittens will burn or become overheated. A warm towel also does the trick. Do not use a heating pad, since there is a risk of overheating and burns.

Kittens should never be fed cow's milk. Kitten formula is readily available at area pet stores. "KMR" or kitten milk replacement is packaged either as a pre-mixed formula or a dry powder that must be mixed at home. If the kitten is particulary malnourished, you can substitute Pedialyte for water when mixing dry formula.

Then you need a nursing bottle with a good sturdy nipple. Use a large sewing needle, not a knife or scissors to make a hole in the nipple, as the resulting hole will be far too large to feed the kitten without drowning it. The flow from the pierced nipple should be a steady flow of drips.
Droppers or syringes can also be used, if the kitten rejects the nipple. Never force fluids into the kitten's mouth as they may end up in its lungs.

Newborns are fed every four hours. Feed the kitten until it settles down and its tummy is full but not distended, then gently remove the nipple and rub the kitten gently but briskly all over with your hand or that rough dry washcloth. If the kitten doesn't immediately begin to complain and nuzzle for more milk, it is fed. Continue rubbing or patting until you get a burp.

Since kittens don't usually use a litter box until around three or four weeks of age, you will have to help them empty bladder and bowels. With the kitten on a towel in your lap, lightly rub the kitten's body with a rough, dry washcloth. (At that point, the kitten may roll over or otherwise present its bottom to you.) With a generous handful of soft tissue (also to be kept handy at all times) gently stroke the kitten's behind, keeping the tissue in contact. The kitten should oblige by urinating or defecating. The kitten's bladder should be emptied both immediately before and fifteen minutes after each feeding. Evacuation of the bowel may take a day or two before you are successful. Once the kitten has the hang of it, it should defecate after meals.

Answer 2

A neighbor, brought me an abandon kitten only a day old, I took her in and started the life saving procedure. If you have the time, this is the best thing to do. Find a container or basket that is big enough to accompany a heating pad and kittens. On low, and lightly covered put the kittens on the heating pad. Cover them lightly and put in a small furry stuffed animal, just for their comfort. Go to a pet store, get a kitten bottle and kitten formula, follow directions and feed them according to can or at least every couple of hours. You'll know when their hungry and full. Just make sure their never cold or hungry and you will do just fine. GOOD LUCK!

Answer 4

If she lost weight before having kittens, why was she not checked by the vet. Get her in there now and have her checked out. No reason for a mother cat with only 3 kittens to nurse lose that much weight. You need to be feeding HIGH quality canned and dry kitten food and feeding her 3 times a day.

Answer 5

So do you have the kittens? You should try to feed them and take care of them. Some cats are just not good mothers, just like some people. She might come back in a few weeks when the rugrats are gone. I have to assume this was her first litter, it can take awhile for a cat to learn how to take care of babies.
I hope she comes back, you should put up posters, or see what kinf of services are available for people who lose animals, people are going to want to help bring a mother back to her kittens.
If you don't have the kittens then she is probably somewhere looking out for them, cats like to keep their kittens in dark places until they are old enough to venture out.
Good luck, I hope everything works out and you find your cat.

Answer 6

I agree w/April - for heavens sake - SPAY/NEUTER!

Further, no Mama cat should have to fend for herself and her kittens outdoors. That said, she may eventually come back, just hope she & her kittens don't die first. If she comes back the best thing you can do for the kittens is to take good care of their Mommy. Keep the mom on kitten food until the kittens are placed and make sure they go to homes where they will be kept safe inside and altered.

Answer 7

go to the petstore and buy kitten formula and bottles, place them on a heating pad covered with a towel or blanket, and the mother cat should come back for her kittens, but there is always a chance she might not

Answer 8

omg this is bad as she needs to train them to be older and look after them so you must give them warm milk out of a babies bottle every day and keep them warm maybe by putting them in a basket with towels everywhere so it feels like there mothers warmth

Answer 9

She's taken them to a safe place for now. She'll be back and will bring them around when she feels they are ready.

Answer 10

get abottle fill it with milk and feed hem till u find the mom and feed them when they mew for their mom
