I was hanging around at my back yard and I found 3 or 4 kittenns near the swimming pool wooden racks. Their mom wasn't there so I stole one of them. It's pretty cute and not furious. Can I make it a pet if I raise it at home? What are the ways? Or it will die?

It has eyes opened, but just learned walking I guess. Walks with lots of efforts. Mews with low voice.

1st of all, I hope it is old enough to be weaned from its mom. Yes you can make it a pet, just keep him inside,feed him and give him lots of love and make sure you get his shots and get it spayed or neutered when it gets old enough..good luck

You should have waited 'til it was a little older to take it. You will, probably, have to feed it with a small bottle. You can get it at a pet store or feed it with an eye dropper which you can buy anywhere [like a drugstore, discount store]. You should call a Vet. Your local animal shelter can give you advise. You can raise it to be a good, loving pet, but you need help, since it's so small, so, it won't die. Check on the internet. You can find out how to take care of it there, also. Putting it back with the other kittens 'til it's older is an idea, but the mother may not want it back, since you handled it. Maybe, she will. Whatever you do, please don't let it die!! Please let me know who you contact & how everything works out. Good luck to you & kitty!

It depends on How old The Kitten Is and if it eats food, If it does then you should be fine. if it doesnt then you will have to Bottle Feed it Like a baby. you can get petmilk for kittens at Any pet Shop. The mom was Prob around somewhere unless she Got hit or Taken somewhere else and if That Is The case the Other Kittens need to be taken to the Shelter or given TO good homes

First thing you need to do is take it to a vet and find out how old it is. If you've taken it away from its mom before it's properly weaned, it may die (or suffer from oral compulsions when it gets older).
We understand how a cute little thing can tug at your heartstrings and make you want to adopt it, but picking up an animal without knowing anything about how to care for it is reckless and irresponsible. Go online or to your nearest library and read everything you can on cat / kitten care. You've taken on a BIG responsibility by taking in this kitten. It's now relying on YOU to do your best to care for it properly.

You should leave the kitten with its mother until it is at least 4 weeks old. It needs its mother's milk for proper nutrition and to help build up its immunities. Once you bring the kitten inside, you will have to bottle feed it every few hours or it will become weak and it might die. Be very careful with the little guy.

Kittens need to be 6-8 weeks old before they can be weaned from their mother. They have to be able to lap up milk inorder to survive with out their mother. If you have it in your house, try keeping it in a small room for the first couple of days until it gets use to being inside.

You can, but you have to become it's mother. This means you have to train it to use a litter box. Usually the mother takes care of that.
