Kitten & Cat Care : How to Raise Just-Born Kittens 

Did anyone here just found an abandoned newborn kitten and doesn't know what to do

Someone just threw a kitten, less than three days old, in my yard. And not only that it was thrown in front of my dog! Thankfully, Max didn't hurt the kitten but I'm disgusted that a person can do such a thing! I'm really worried, I've never cared for newborn animals.

I rescued a two week old kitty a month ago. I did everything I could but she went. Its my little baby's 40th day in heaven. I miss Ollie so much!

1. Determine how old the kitten: 10 days eyes, 2 weeks teeth 2. Nest to keep them warm 3. Milk replacer (not with cow’s milk):

Sad fact Most people watching this have a kitten who's still not feed for a couple of hours😭😭😭

My cat died, she was missing for two days and I finally found her. She just had her babies 4 days ago. I'm so sad but I'm going to take good care of them.

🥺😭 We found 3 baby kittens, newborns. I'm reading the comments and it seems a lot of people kittens died this young without their mommy. I am terrified these precious little things will die. They're so adorable and I'm so poor, but I'll do everything in my power to love and care them. Even if I have to lose a month of sleep, I don't want to lose a single one.

I really want to know the people who gave this video thumbs down. This doctor is pleasantly decent, skilled and concise.

just got a baby kitten and she's approx' 4 days or so. the feeding bottle is hard to find though.

Thank you!!! my poor kittens been abandoned by her mom and I didn’t know how to do ....

My adult male dog brought a newborn kitten for us to care for. I was not prepared for this at all. Learning and it’s been an amazing experience so far!

So my cat just gave birth today. Just 1 kitten. She at 1st seemed to abandon it. I had to remove the placenta- watched a video, and it worked perfectly. Was debating how I’m gonna handle feeding, when my cat came out of hiding. I petted her gently, and placed her in the box with blankets where I put the kitten. She was unsure what to do at 1st, and calmly jumped out. But then kept going back in the box to see. Finally her maternal instincts kicked in. Currently licking her baby clean. It’s almost like she didn’t know if I’d approve of her kitten, and needed me to tell her it’s ok, so she could go forward with her instincts. Just glad Mother Nature is doing its thing

If you don't have a heating pad, fill a jelly jar with hot water, wrap it in a towel and lay it in the nest. Kittens will climb up on it like mama's belly and go to sleep. Refresh every 3-4 hours.

Thank you so much, this helped an orphan kitten I found

It’s not easy to feed just born 🐱.

I'm getting my first baby kitten tomorrow 😍! I'm so excited

When I was a boy in the early 50s I remember a farmer who milked his cow every day. On the porch at the kitchen door there was a 3 ft diameter galvanized lid . The farmer would pour a draugh of milk and instantly about 15 or so white angora barn cats surrounded the lid and made it all dissappear. They seem to come out of nowhere. Great memories,

Bless you, Dr. You are so kind!

I hope these sweet little babies featured in this video are having happy lives

Thank you this helps a lot just found a kitten outside in the rain currently nursing it.

The kitten is so adorable!

I found a kitten around 3 weeks old and I feed him with a medicine dropper because I can't find a bottle that he will take. His name is Downy and he's a month or so old now, although he dislikes dry cat food. He will eat canned food but I need to start him on a good brand of dry food. Any advice?

Almost fade up but still loving this orphan kitten of mine.

I found a kitten outside on my porch, she’s about 2 days old. I currently have her in a shoe box with a stuffed animal. Never was it my intention to take her in, she imprinted on me.

Cuteness overload

This is actually good info for me thx. Good vid

the black kitten.. soo cuteeeee

@overusedwords Well of course it isn't easy, remember you are dealing with a newborn kitten, just like newborn babies they depend on you 100% because they are not able to do basic things on their own. You have to be patient and above all caring with kittens or any newborn animal. It's not the kitten's fault if he doesn't pee or poop, it is possible that the kitten has a serious problem that is not allowing it to poop or pee, like an infection,deformity etc. So be caring and patient.

This seems like a good way to take care of cats or new born kittens. my cat just had new born kittens and hey're 2-3 weeks old!

my cat gave birth last night, this is helpful! thanks!

Thank you thank you so much for telling me these things

how beautiful guys you are i love you all taking care about most cute animals

thanks for your tips

I rescued a kitten and it's a boy I think he is 2-3 weeks old found him at the side of the road and his still wet because of suddenly raining I don't have experience taking care of a baby kitten so thank you for sharing this video ill take care of him.

Thank so much we have to three week old kittens that have been rejected by there mother we didn't know u started to feed them food as in wet and dry at four weeks! Lots of help thanks!!!!!:)

very informative thank you

I LOVE KITTENS

Tysm!!

very informative

thanks for such a helpful info :)

My cat gave birth 3 days ago.. She went out and didn't return from yesterday.. I'm really worried.. But i also have to take care of her kitten.. This was really helpful. Thank you. If i shouldn't feed cow milk, what else should we feed

I just got one and no matter what I do, she just screams, bites and scratches for the slightest thing. God forbid if the bottle falls out of her mouth. She would start scratching her face scream and bite anything around her. I have seen vicious cats before and it seems she is one of them. I have even seen people like her. Its amazing that they are born with it.

I just found a 12 oz kitten , I have never raised one from this young , he doesn’t like milk but I’m feeding him recovery food from the vet who have dewormed and gave fluids too . Also he had an eye infection which I have drops for , I also have a 2 year old husky who is really confused with this kitty but it I Honk she is taking to him . The kitten is soo small

I only have 1 thing to say that kitten is sooo cute

We found twins today In our backyard, and it was a rainy day......We think they either got lost or their mother abandoned them, I appreciate your help. New sub. :)

My cat just had 6 kittens but now my other cat is having babies so i have to really listen to this video

Right now my pregnant cat is in labor about four or five cats so I really need this

I love every kind of cat

Thank you so much, my cat birthed two kittens yesterday and left and had more, I have no idea where they are :c

I found 3 babies on the street, took them to the vet, gave them all vaccinations, they all died, I was giving them milk to replace the mother's milk since she was not around and it was horrible, it was a week ago and I still cry a lot... the tinier one was the last one to die... he wanted to live so much.... I really hope that they are in a better place because they here didnt have the chance to enjoy more....

I found 5 cute little kittens in my back yard. I wish I could keep them but my life is way too busy and I live alone. But I really want to give these little guys a fighting chance.

this video is just perfect for me my cat is a mother of three kittens the kittens r about six days old and their mom is either lost or stolen n m having a hard time right now

so cute I like kittens

that's so cute

I found about a week ago, 2 newborn kittens, i think they are both boys, they are now a week old exactly, im feeding them formula diluted with water, they are constipated and they haven't pooped for 5 days, i massage their tummies, i stimulate them to poo, but they just dont, my vet told me to get glicerin, im very frustrated and worried, i hope it works, im taking the best care of them possible, i hope they are ok.

Can you believe this video was 11 years ago

My mommy kitten just had another litter and three were stillborn one lived for a day and a half then just went lethargic and breathing weird. When it passed it had green discharge from its nose. Then she had another one and was breach. Now she keeps looking around for her last baby. So sad. I wonder what the little one died from. Felt warm and looked like it was eating. I feel so much guilt.

So adorable

Does Rosalita survived? I have a just new born with me. I nursed it for three days. I see that the kitten is weaker day by day. I'm worying.

I was shopping at lows and found a newborn kitten in the outdoor area it still has the umbilical cord attached and the workers told me they were trying to catch her all day so they could throw her away

my cat stopped lactating at 3 days post having her kittens, all but one has died and i’m now trying to rescue the last little one

I just saw a stray kitten and I will watch this video until the end

Omg thank u sooo much. I just found a baby kitten and had no clue what to do!:)

Ok ok, I have 2 kitten, I think they're about 3 weeks? They're actually 3, but the othet one passed away along with their mother, only 2 is left. The other one, just sleeps and drinks milk, the other one is hyper as hell. The first one is kinda thin unlike Ginger (the fat one) Rey doesn't drink that much, maybe about 2 or 3 drops only. And Im worrying. At first they we're both hyper, not until their mom died. Ginger is still hyper, Rey is a little, but today, he's getting weak, he can't stand and he just sleeps, pees, and poops. Can you give me some advice on how to take care of Rey? Im really worried

Found two abandoned kittens. Unfortunately one was passed away from the cold outside before I found them , but the other one lived. Ig I have a kitten now. Now I have 2 dogs and a kitten 🐱 WOW! Hopefully he lives❤️🤞

AWWWWWWWWWWWW so cute

I just found a newborn kitten on my porch this morning. His eyes are still closed and his umbilical cord is still attached. He’s so tiny I’m afraid I’m going to break him when I pick him up. My question is how often should the cat be stimulated to use the bathroom? I’m afraid of not doing it enough and it causing a problem like a UTI or something.

I've some stray that just gave birth on my doorstep... 3 kittens... the mama cat does seems to be sticking by them so I don't want to involve myself too much... but I made a little nest and I'm keeping the mum well fed.. not sure what else I could do

The kittens were born yesterday and lived through a night time temperature of about 45 degrees F. Tonight it will get to 35 degrees. Don't use cow's milk? Milk replacer is cow's milk.

i cant belive is my cat has kids shes a mother im so happy i cant belive were gonna take care of 5 KITTENS

Wow Cute

I need help. I just found a very small kitten and it refuses to drink milk and idk what to do

Having a hard time believing this numbers, i found a cat with 3 weeks. I bought milk replacement and in the box it says 5 times a day 10-15ml feeding which totals 50-75ml. When i convert 27oz to ml it says 340ml, that's like more than the cat's weight, what i'm i missing?

What kind of milk?

i was watching your ears all the time

They also need to be fed throughout the night every 2-3 hours. Food needs to be warm. Check it on your wrist. Urine does not have to be clear yellow is fine. When you stimulate them if it isn’t working after a few seconds try a little lower or a little higher. I find that when their lower legs are also moving that’s about where it should be. You might have to use more toilet paper (if you choose to use that) than you think. Keep going until they are finished. This can also be a reason why they aren’t eating. The kitten lady has SO much info on kittens. You also need to introduce wet food as well as kibble. They need it twice a day it is good for their kidneys. Also an immune support/probiotic power is a good thing to add to the wet food. Don’t freak out if they don’t immediately take to the wet food. DO NOT USE CLUMPING LITTER. DO NOT USE IT. since they are not stable on their feet they could get it in their mouths and swallow it (this could kill them)or get it stuck to their butt/urethra and create a blockage. Use those newspaper pellets, wood pellets, or non clumping litter until they are stable on their feet. If you’re having trouble getting them to eat go watch kitten lady’s 10 ways to feed a tricky bottle baby. It helped SO much when I had my first litter.

my cat just birthed 6 kittens only one survived what do i feee it ? its been 6 hrs or so pls help

I just found a kitten that I bealive to be a few days old but all I have is cow's milk and I won't be able to get it kitten milk for a couple of hours. Is it ok to use in an emergency like this.

The kittens face at 1:26 was priceless ~ what a sweet little kitten. Thank you Lord for creating such wonderful creatures for us to enjoy. Blessed is the name of our Lord Jesus Christ ~

AWWW, THAT KITTY EARS IS SO CUTE! ^-^

I have a kitten a little over 1 week old. It has eye infections, the pus all came out and the swelling is now down. I have Terramycin but not sure I can put it on a kittens lid so young.

Please help !! I only have buffaloes milk can I feed newborn kitten with it . I have no idea what to do baby's mother hasn't come back it's 2days already

Pls help. Do they have to be kept warm even if it's hot here? Around 32 degrees. I just saw two abandoned stray kittens 4 days back I'm still trying to learn. Their eyes aren't open yet I think they were born 4 days back and were abandoned. I waited for the night to see if mother returned but she didn't so I kept them in garage as pets not allowed in my home. I cover them with blancket but they remove it there are 2. I didn't knwo about stimulation also but I saw both of them pooping today. Eyes not open yet. Vet is going to come day after in town. Please assist. I have kittens formula they hardly take not more than three times in a day and they keep sleeping a lot. I will do the stimulation tomorrow and see changes. Is it weird that they can poop but not pee?

I'm having a problem with my cat, she leaves her babies and I don't know what to do. They keep on crying and it makes me panic. I don't know what should I feed them since they're just 2 weeks old.

soooooooooo cute

hey how which milk do they drink

My (male) cat just brought a baby kitten and I'm having trouble feeding it, i don't have a feeding bottle but I found an oral syringe.

Hi, so I found this poor abandoned new born kitty, and yesterday there were three now there's one left, so ai took the kitten preventing it from further harm, what should I do? It was just borned. The mother just gave up... My dad said to give it water and put a little sugar into it since we don't have any milk but we're planning to buy the milk soon. It's been scared a little bit I need help. it's crying for almost the whole night, how to make it stop crying???

What type of milk do I feed then?

We have a kitten born just this morning, we have absolutely nothing to replace the mothers milk. What can we do for this cat to survive?

For how many weeks i need to help them Defecate thank you

My dog brought a kitten to my house but I had its navel cord still attached im kinda freaking out on what to do because im not close to a pet store and sure its hungry. Its not cold because I dealt with that situation but im not positive if dogs saliva is bad for the kitten.

what if we dont have heating pad?

My cat just gave birth to 5 cute kittens yesterday morning. Theyre soo cute

My cat died while giving birth through surgery and the baby have defects in body , legs are folded and eyes cannot close . Cat milk replacer is not available in my area . Baby survived one day . I replaced food with human baby powder milk ...i don't know what to do . I haven't sleep whole night so that baby don't get cold . And try to give body heat.

Yesterday,We found a New born kitten.We picked her and make her warm.We looked at her eye and it's full of eyedirt.We cleaned her eye and we were shock because she doesn't have eyeballs.We still didn't find her mother.And now I'm watching this video because she's not drinking milk.We didn't use Syringe/baby bottle to feed coz there aren't any store that sell those here.So I made a DIY bottle.And we don't have the money to bring her to the Veterinarian.Her eyes are getting worse and always getting bit by ants.Hope she survives so we will have a new member of our family. BTW,We named her Lucifurr.

Hello. I fed my one week old kitten with milk replacement formula and it pooped shortly after. Is this normal?

Literally had to break the sack and tie off the cord for this kitten, so- yeah. Safe to say I'm invested.

Sooooo cutee

Hii, mam... am from India. I got 2day's left kitten... Please hlp me....how I maintain this kitten!!!!
