We just found a cat! HELP?

Question

We just found a kitten that can't be more than two weeks old. My brother and I are home alone, what do we do? We have found it some towls but are unsure what to feed it. We know it can't have human milk, what do we give it? What do we DO?

Answer 1

the best thing is to just take it to the vet and see if they can care for the kitten. if they refuse, they probably sell some kitten formula there (or at a pet store) that you can feed them (and that will probably come with instructions on how to do it and how often).

Answer 2

No human or cow milk or it will give your kitten diarrhea.

You're going to have to get ahold of cat milk replacer (Petco or your vet) and a little bottle to feed your kitten with. Goat's milk might work in a pinch. Probably you'll need to know something about the technique involved. Just for starters, you'll have to warm it up by sticking the bottle in warm water. Don't let it get too hot!
Also, since a kitten of that age can't poop without its mother licking its rear, you'l need to hold her over the toilet and imitate this action by wiping a warm (not hot) soft damp washcloth gently over her but.

Please make an appointment to have her checked out with a vet right away.

Answer 3

The only thing a kitten that young can digest is cat milk- they sell the formula at vet offices and pet stores. It will need to be fed from a bottle many times each day and night. It might be best if you call vet or the SPCA and see if they have foster volunteers who can take the kitten for you- hand raising kittens is hard work.

Answer 4

If i were you i would first bring the kitten to a vet to make sure this kitten is healthy and get its shots. When you are the vet ask them what food the kitten should but, for right now until you go to the vet give the cat water and kitten food.

Answer 5

The kitten will need to be fed either by dropper or by a special bottle made for tiny kitten mouths. You will also have to buy kitten formula to give it the nutrients it needs. Keep it warm but don't handle it too much. Here's some great information for you on the care of orphaned kittens:

Good luck!!

Answer 6

Call your parents. The kitten needs immediate veterinary care. Untill they get home just try to keep the kitten warm and as calm as you can.

Answer 7

Make sure he/she stays warm! Giving cats human milk is fine as long as he/she isnt lactose intolerant. If you have any kind of cat food(canned preferably), canned tuna, bread, cheese you can feed this to him but only a small amount because hes so young. When your parent gets home, take him to the vet immediately incase he has worm/mites/fleas. Don't let him bite or scratch you because he is too young to have had his shots. Just make sure he stays warm and give him plenty of water!
You can play with him, but try to let him rest until you can take him to the vet.
Good Luck!
Hope you get to keep him/her!

Answer 8

You can give it some kitten food that has been put with luke warm milk (not alot of milk just enough to make the food soggy)..Or call the humane society and ask them to come and pick it up.......

Answer 9

Find some cream (liquid form) and add luke warm water to it. Try to find a bottle, similar to a hamster water bottle and let him/her drink from that. But, be warned. Once you do this, he/she will become attached to you. Very attached. And you to this bundle of fur. This is how I got my friend. He's very lovable also. Currently, he's curled up at my feet.

Answer 10

if you have an ASPCA near by or call them they can make sure the kitten gets medical treatment if it needs it and it can go up for adoption and unless they absolutly need to they wont put it to sleep
