My sister in law is a vet. Last year I took care of a litter of kittens from a stray. The runt was just so tiny, I didnt think he would make it. I was told to go to the pet store and buy milk replacement, or baby cereal if you can find it. ( baby animal cereal) The milk is easy, just let her drink it. The cereal, mix with warm water, it should look like oatmeal. Feed it every 4 hours. Just enough that she finishes it. I did this for a couple weeks, till I saw him gaining, then let him have kitten chow mixed with warm kitten milk. He grew fast, now is almost 1 year old. Good luck, I hope all goes well. It is quite gratifying to know you saved a helpless little kitten.

You really have to take her to see the vet and see what the vet can do. I rescued a strayed kitten before, she was really small, I guessed she's about a moth old at that time. I went to the pet store and bought cat bottle and cat milk formula for her. She was kept in a really warm and cozy box. I tried to do my best but she still died after few days. It would be really hard for little kittens to survive without their moms. Vets know more about how to deal with it than we do, take your little kitten to see the vet, wish all the best to her.

Well when your kitten is big enough to eat solid cat food remember to food It kitten cat food not regular because the kitten kind is made for the kitten to get big and strong.

She is probably small because she is too young to be weaned and her mom probably didn't do a very good job with them. I hope they spayed her. Get a good quality kitten food and mix in some canned food or moisten it with warm water. You might try KMR (Kitten milk replacer) available from your vet and most petshops.

Go to the nearest petstore when they open. Buy a bottle and formula from them specifically for cats. Follow the directions to a t and hopefully she survives. Good luck

you need to truly take the kittens in to be certain a veterinarian seeing as 2 of them have already died. they'd have had an ailment or using fact they have been the smaller ones they could no longer have been ingesting sufficient. Your surviving kittens ought to be ill as-nicely so i could take them to a vet just to be certain.
