Well now I have this kitty. I am bottle feeding it; but dont know what else I should do. I really dont know what i am doing. I need help. I also dont want to endanger my cat and dog.
If anyone has ever done this, please share anything that you think might help. Thank You. |
What about the littermates? Did anyone rescue the rest of them? If not they will die. Can you go get all of them and maybe keep them in a crate and feed them untill they are able to be rehomed.
This same thing happened to us, there was a few strays and this Lady knew someone that wanted them out on their farm. well they came and got them and one of the cats jumped out the window on the way there. well turns out it had babys here and we didnt know. We didnt even find them untill 4 days had went by and I heard kitens crying thou the vent in my bathroom. Hubby climbed under the house and got the 3 babys out. we looked for momma cat and never found her. I always get sad when thinking about it all.
Anyways we put them in a wire cage useing a heating pad on low with a baby blanket over it to keep them warm. feed them a bottle every two hours. and we put a litter box in there too, it only takes cats a few weeks of age to know how to go to a litter box. but untill then you will have to feed them and take a warm rag and wipe their privats so they will go pee and poo. then clean them up and do this every two hours. untill they are able to go on their own.then start giving them soft food and water when they get a little older.
The last few years we have had many strays and many kittens.
