They need to all go in with their mother tomorrow (the day after birth) for the routine postpartum checkup anyway. That's esp. impt. with it being a weekend....you don't need any emergencies on Sat/Sun. when your regular DVM is closed.
Make sure you take a pad and pen....they're going to have a lot of very important info to give you about the next few weeks.

Mine had three on Sunday too. There is nothing wrong with the number. Don't try to touch the kittens too much yet but if one is crawling away, lift it up gently, keep it in the eye sight of mum, and put it towards her tummy. The third one that was born was like that and I was getting stressed. Eventually I had to go to bed because I was stressed that three wasn't feeding and that was making mummy cat stressed. Five days on now and all three are doing really well.

Gently guide the kitten's mouth onto one of the mother's nipples and see if it can suckle properly.If it does,,just make sure it nurses at least every three hours.If it acts OK otherwise and the mom cleans it and doesn't object to it nursing,then it should be OK.Then ,when the kittens are weaned,please get the mom spayed-too many kittens in the world.

Congrats! One could just be more adventurous than the others. We had one like this a few years ago - we called her "Braveheart".
You need to make sure they are in a basket or box they can't crawl out of - with sides, but that the mom can get in and out easily.

Isn't three a small litter for a cat? Take them to the vet? Mom kitten should know how to care for all kittens but make sure they are okay.

it would be a good idea to get the kitten checked out to make sure it is healthy. You may even want to get the hole litter checked out just to be certain.

There's usually a runt when dogs and cats have babies. If you don't take this kitten to the vet he will probably die of starvation. The vet will either give you instructions on how to feed it or offer to put it to sleep (please dont do that). I think it would be really sweet to nurse a baby kitten :-)

Nothing is wrong. kittens do that. I have a large farm with many cats. I have birthed way over 100 kittens, puppies, and goats. I am at mfroeh if I can help.

oowwww you are so lucky.
The runt (last) will be slower...give it time.
The runaway is a boy out conquering the world already.

There could be...because he is crawling AWAY from its mother...you may want to bottle feed the little kitten...you can buy the goats milk at Petco and a small 3-4 inch plastic bottle...i had to do that with a premature puppy and he survived!!!He can take the milk at room temperature...just feed him...hurry!!!! i hope it works!
