I have searched for help on how to save a kitten about 4 weeks old whose
mother was found dead two days ago, but have found very little that is
useful.  We didn't find the kitten until today.
I am in Italy and there is no formula, no kitten bottle, none of the things
mentioned in the rescue docs online.  What can I do?  There are also no
rescue organizations except in Rome, far far away.
The poor thing won't eat from a saucer.  I forced about 3 demitasse spoons
of warmed skimmed milk down it, but it wouldn't take soaked catfood at all.
The emergency formulas say they won't permanently support growth... so what
to feed it?  I do recall a vet telling me to supplement milk for weaners
with baby food chicken or turkey, so tomorrow I can buy some.
I cleaned it with a warm, wet cottonball.  It is sitting in my lap on a
towel because it otherwise yells continuously, but it poops as it wishes and
wherever it is.  I tried to introduce it to a good mom cat who was related
to its mom, but she just spat at it, as did all the other cats.
It is thin, has a round tummy which is flaccid.  It walks well, ears are up,
has teeth but still has a round head.
I will be so grateful for any help at all.  I cannot bear to think of the
poor thing starving.
