I Have Something to Say

We just found a teeny tiny kitten outside. I got bit by ants trying to get the ants off. I don't have any idea how it got here! I'm thinking it's too small to make it though😭

How Do I Feed a Newborn Kitten?

A mother cat’s milk provides everything a kitten needs during the first four weeks of life. If you have newborn kittens who’ve been separated from their mother, consult with a veterinarian, shelter or experienced foster care giver who can help you find a new mother cat with a small litter-she may be able to nurse the orphaned babies. If you cannot find a foster mother, please consult with your veterinarian about the proper way to bottle-feed with a commercial milk replacer. Please do not offer regular cow’s milk to cats of any age. It is not easily digestible and can cause diarrhea.

What Do Kittens Eat Besides Milk?

When the orphaned kittens are three to four weeks old, begin to offer milk replacer in a shallow bowl, then introduce a moist, easily chewable diet. You can make gruel from warmed milk replacer and a high-quality dry or canned kitten food. Serve it in a shallow bowl and feed the kittens several times each day. By five weeks old, they should be getting used to their new diet. By six to seven weeks old, they should be able to chew dry food and you’ll no longer need to moisten it. Kittens are typically fully weaned by around eight weeks of age.

Oh! I totally forgot about that, Intothestorm is right. Clean him, and they can't use the bathroom without some assistance so... gotta help with that bit too

Wow he's little >.> If you want to raise him I'd imagine a local pet store would have formula and a bottle that'll suit him. Milk from cattle doesn't do well with cats. Keep him warm. And he's literally a newborn so he should be fed probably every 2-3 hours.

Kittens need large amounts of energy--about two to three times that of an adult cat. Food for your kitten should contain at least 30% protein. Make sure the food you offer is specifically formulated for kittens.

How Often Should a Kitten Eat?

The following is a general eating schedule for newborns and young cats:

Newborn kittens may nurse about every 1-2 hours.
At about three to four weeks old, they can be offered milk replacer from a bowl and then small amounts of moistened kitten food four to six times a day.
Kittens from six to 12 weeks old should be fed four times a day as you gradually decrease their access to milk replacer.
Kittens from three to six months old should be fed three times a day.

We don't have a shelter either I can relate to that, our county is even without a grocery store now, and the actual town I live in might as well be a ghost town. Good luck with the kitty. :)

Use baby wipes to clean it and feed him with formula

Good luck ☘

There was one in my backyard last October, it was night and it was crying. I reached down to pick it up and it hissed at me...Let a neighbor woman take it. I don't know how it got in my fenced backyard unless it's mother dropped it there.

He's so tiny do you know anyone with nursing cats that can take him, or maybe a rescue to pick him up. I see you have someone bringing you some formula I wish you all the best with the little cutie. :)
I seriously think he's too little 😢

:,O noooo! Don't say that! Kitty vet hospital! Dr. Google Kitty Nurse! Save it! Poor kitty! 😢

Do you have a general idea on how old it is? Are its eyes open?
You could prolly drop the little dude off at a no-kill shelter. Or get a bottle and some formula

Looks like a mix between a rat and a dog :/
