Taking Care of Orphan / Newborn Kittens
- Initially, find out if the kitten is less than a week old or more than 2-3 weeks by checking its eyes. If the eyes are close then take extra care and use to feed them only light milk through nipple-set nursing bottles.
- Provide them a warm and safe place to rest first where no danger could touch them, even in your absence as well!
- Adorn the place with clean bedding and keep the area dry for all the time, around the bed of that little kitten.
- Try to place them in a natural condition and realize the real temperature of nature, yet a consistent temperature in-between 90 to 92 degrees F is healthy enough for a newborn kitten.
- After preparing their bed to be active for their food and feed them kitten milk through a feeding bottle carefully.
- Kittens are not able to consume too much of food at once at their newborn stage, so try to feed them more often with a small amount of milk.
- Make sure the hotness of the milk is bearable for a kitten and keep it just at room temperature for the best outcome.
- Once the kitten starts growing and reach the age of more than 3 weeks, try to replace the milk with meat-based food supplements for the proper nourishment of a kitten.
- Validate the health condition of your kitten frequently and contact a veterinarian immediately if you found any irregularity in the health of your little pet ever.
