I have a little experience with little ones and will tell you what I did. First get a cat collar with a bell, they are the smallest I could find. Then make sure the little one eats ever couple of hours at least a few bites. If the baby is on dry food wet it with a little warm water, this will entice her to eat. Also keep a heating pad under a blanket to keep her warm. I used a very small enclosed kennel/carrier with a heating pad at night, so that she could be right next to me, but be warm at the same time. She should not be running round for more that 15 to 20 minutes at a time, as this will ware her out and could cause problems. Make sure she has a playpen with a warm bed and toys on one end and a puppy pad on the other. She should not be taken outside until she is fully vaccinated. Make sure that she is not carried around too much as these little ones can wiggle around and easily be dropped. Do not allow the baby up on furniture as a fall could be fatal. You must watch these little ones very close, it doesn't take long for their sugar level to drop and serious conditions to come on. Make sure she is checked out by a vet ASAP. When going to the vet have someone stay in the car with the baby until the vet is ready for you, you never know what the animals in the waiting room are there for, and these little ones will go down fast if they get sick.
I'm sorry if I'm scarring you, but I just want to help you keep your little one as health as possible. If I can help you with any other questions, let me know. She is beautiful, good luck.
