Answer 1

They will start to lap milk if they have no choice - have you tried it yet? Good luck.You are a very kind person.

Answer 2

Since kittens are usally weaned from their mother around 5 to 6 weeks old, you can give them a product you can get from the vet called KMR. Kitten Milk Replacer. They will also give you some bottles made especially for the kittens. If the kittens are that old you are lucky. You can wean them early and start them on moist Kitten Chow. Use the KMR to moisten their food. (Warm milk) This way, they will start their solid food, while still getting the milk they need to grow properly.

What an absolutely wonderful thing you are doing for these orphans. If only there were more people in the world like you, that are willing to take the time to help such poor little creatures. I hope that you can find homes for them. I would advertise them as "hand raised." These kittens will be very "people friendly," since they will become use to all of your handling.

You can also start their litter box training, although they may still need for you to "stimulate" their bottoms with a warm wash cloth, for them to piddle and poop. Their mother licks their rear ends to get them to defecate. If the kittens are already peeing and pooping on their own, place them in the kitty box, right after you feed them. If they go in the box, I have even gone so far as to "show" the kittens how to 'cover up their little presents; just like big cats do, when they use the litter pan. This is what the mother would have taught them

The very best of luck to you...you are doing a great and very unselfish thing....God bless you for your efforts.

All you have to do is get one of those baby bottles from the pet shop. Heat the milk up, but make sure its not to hot. Then after you've done that (let it go out to wee, poo). Once its inside shred a few papers and carefully lay it onto a shallow rimmed box. (Don't need to), get a small hot water bottle and carefully put it near the kitten. If you want it to go to sleep put your kitten on a pillow and turn on the heater so its not so hot. The cat (my cat) should fall asleep, carefully put it in the shallow rimmed box and make sure you have it some where that's have a lot of space (i woke up last time and my cat had woken up and was in the bathroom). Now put pillows around the box so it can't go wanddering. And if you can't find a pet bottle with a nipple just buy a baby bottle with a nipple. You can also buy a special milk for kittens that are very thick. Its better than buying the normal milk from the shop.

I raised a 1 week old kitten. I made a little teet mold out of plaster of paris and bought some latex molding material from the hardware store and made my own. Just clean them well and put a needle whole in the top. Buy some cheep baby bottles and with a large rubber band around the top to hold it tightly on the bottle.
My one kitten went threw about 4 teets, so buy enough molding material. The plaster of paris/or fast drying clay mold can be reused over and over.
There is another thing you can do is to call a zoo or wildlife park near you - even ASPCA and ask them if they have any ready made.

Answer 5

Go to a farm store, or a pet supply store and buy a bottle with a nipple. They have small ones that a kitten can nurse. They also have formula for kittens that you can purchase. I will advise you to let the mother feed them when she comes. Try to let them nurse her as much as she will let them, or they can. I tried raising kittens whose mother was killed, they did well for a while, but eventually all died. They need the antibodies that the mother's milk provides.

Answer 6

Kittens that you bottle-feed are so much fun. They really bond with you. One thing you need to remember is that the mother cat helps the kittens to eliminate their waste products. This means that since she will lick their little bottoms to get them to urinate and defacate, you will need to use a luke-warm wash cloth, dampened tissue, or wet cotton ball to get the job done. If you don't do this, the kittens will not urinate and they may get sick, due to the build-up of toxins in their systems, as well as water build-up. This will not have to be done for too long, so don't get too upset, just until they consistently defacate on their own in the litter box. Make certain to get them used to lots of different things, and cuddle them. If you need help finding homes for them, you can go to your local Petco or Petsmart on the weekends and see if the rescue leagues come and have "Adoption Days". See if they can help you.

Answer 7

you can find emergency feeder kits for kittens at pet stores and sometimes at department stores like Walmart. It usually comes with a small bottle with a nipple and puppy or kitten milk replacer. If you can't find what you are looking for there, a vet office should have it.

Answer 8

This mutually as be fairly tricky to describe however the female doesnt have testicles and the male does, they are VERY small little balls yet you may deffinately tell them different than for the female because of the fact the female reprooductive factors are flat and have an get admission to spot. I had a muddle of kittens to no longer earlier and that they have been all male and there replaced into in basic terms one woman.

Answer 9

pet stores sell them but just use a baby bottle and slit the hole a bit bigger in the nipple. Mix up some baby pablum also and feed them it for now. They make a mess for you to clean up but the little buggers gotta eat. I've had to do this myself to see they survived until they were big enough to get a new home.

Good Luck.

Answer 10

I know that Walmart has them. And if you're in one of the states that has a Meijer store, they will have them as well. Often times, most grocery stores will carry them. I would say, just call around to whatever stores are local to you and see if they carry what you need.
