I just did the same thing ...go to any pet store ask for kitten replacement milk or mix 1 cup milk , 1 teaspoon of corn syrup and 1 raw egg yoke that should work ..remember their somatch are the size of golf ball you don,t want to over feed it about 2 tablespoon ever 4 hour should do it ..and kitten chow also very good when their about 6 weeks old good luck ...don't forget the shots and to have it dewormed about 3 months ..mine is loving life she sleeping on lap now ..


Thank You Sooo much... I didn't know when I should have taken it to the vet and I figured after a few months should be good. I'm pretty nervous... I'm not sure if it peed yet slaphead

how do I tell... it's belly looks full too

Take a warm wet paper towel and rub it butt and peepee area you have to stimulated like the mother would and you will see it pee ..also you can check the litter box but if haven't had any food for a while it will take a day or so ..

If you need any help please feel free to e-mail me

I would go to the grocery and buy a can of goats milk. It is much more digestible if you don't buy regular kitten formula from a pet store.

I am against the declawing myself. Did it once to a cat of mine when I was real young and swore I would never do it again. Regardless of what they say it is excruciateing to the animal for days and often leads to infection and sometimes need for amputation. It certainly makes it more likely that they will take a fall that will hurt them.

When it is bigger and at the point to not be kenneled most ot the time which is a habit I recommend from this young age, at least while you are at work and at night when getting a hold or a cord or something toxic such as a poisonious house plant, or something in the trash (Might want to get in the habit of useing a covered trashcan.) you can teach it not to claw your stuff. Take 1/2 teaspoon of ordinary house hold vinegar in a cotten ball and mop it on the gums. It will make the cat mad at you for a few hours but will not hurt it. Then mix a tablespoon per pint of distilled water and lightly mist it on what you do not want clawed. You won't be able to smell it but the cat, or for that matter a puppy, will and won't have interest in being near it. This is particularly important on things like dyed shoes, varnished furniture, and cmuter connections.

The thing I would do is is watch the kitten for worms and parasites. While it is tempting to cuddle I would wash my hands after most handleing until you get it vet checked. It is very easy to pick up a parasite and make yourself very ill careing for and alley kitten. .

If you go to PetCo.com you can read quite a bit about pet care. I have found that about four times a year you can get free shipping on orders if you don't live close to were a petstore is. Definitely a help if you work long hours and can trust UPS to just drop in on a porch.

I used a covered trash can for a fifty pound bag of oil dry for affordable kitty litter. With a pretty table skirt it makes a nice bed table.



Good luck.

If you look around there are pretty end tables that enclose litter boxes. Certainly beats tripping over them in the bathroom or laundry room.
