Cat Forum / General Topics / July 2003Abandoned kitten caring...
I have a cat who has a very young kitten. Unfortunately, the mother cat got let out approx 9pm tonight and has not returned and the kitten is getting quite distressed. Does anyone know how I should go about caring for this lil one. I have a replacement milk formula but am not sure as how to feed it to the kitten as I have no bottle or anything. Does anyone know how long the kitten can go without attention and feeding from the mother? Will I need to step in tonight? Please, any help is greatly received!

The kitten was getting quite hysterical so I used my dictaphone, recorded 5 seconds of it, and walked about the streets with it on a loop, when I heard miaowing coming from a neighbours garage! I wish people would be more careful! <Hugh sigh of relief!> Graham > The kitten was getting quite hysterical so I used my dictaphone, recorded 5 > seconds of it, and walked about the streets with it on a loop, when I heard > miaowing coming from a neighbours garage! How resourceful! :) Glad you found her, and in time! > Glad you found her, and in time! Oh you wouldn't believe how much of a relief it is! I seriously was lost and at a dead end as to what I could do for this little kitten! 4:10am : I think I've earned my sleep tonight. Just wait until I get my hands on the person that let her out! Graham Good news! After reading about your problem I think anyone with an intact female cat should keep an emergency kit. In an emergency an eyedropper could be used. Or if no eyedropper, perhaps a drinking straw - cover one end then the milk can be drawn up into the straw. (I hope this makes sense) It was clever the way you found her.

Wow what a good idea! I never would have thought of it! So glad everything worked out well for all. Dee Hi Graham I had a kitten from 5 weeks old and had trouble survivin without her mother but i fed it cat milk with a syringe and she loved it. I got mine from a vet and u have to warm the milk up before giving it to the kitten. Sarah |
