Life is unpredictable. In order to ensure the energy needed to feed her children, a stray mother cat looks for food everywhere. If she is not careful, she may encounter an accident and leave her newborn baby behind. These are their misfortunes, but they are lucky to have met you. But how should we take care of a newborn kitten without a mother? Because this life is too weak, many people are worried about it.

Check

If the kitten is picked up with a lot of dirt on its body or is cold, it is recommended to take it to a pet hospital for professional cleaning and certain heating. Wait until the cat is in better health before taking it home.

Warmth

After returning home, prepare a warm enough living environment for the kitten.

At this time, the cat’s physical resistance to the outside world is extremely weak, and without the protection of the female cat, it is easy to catch cold. Warmth can overdo their energy demands, causing supply to exceed demand.

The living place prepared for cats must be warm first and ventilated second. Ventilation needs to be under the premise of warmth, that is, to ensure the circulation of air but not to allow the actual wind to blow in and out. It is best to prepare a fixed location, place a box with enough space in the fixed location, and lay out two or more soft towels. If it is winter, you can choose to add a few more towels according to the temperature.

Food

We can find a nursing mother cat for the kitten, cover the mother cat with a towel to leave the mother cat's scent, then use this towel to wrap a pack of kittens, and then bring the towel to the mother cat. In this way, the towel has the smell of female cats and kittens. Female cats will also be more willing to nurse their kittens.

If you cannot find a lactating cat, you can prepare goat milk powder for the cat to drink, as well as a disposable syringe without a needle, and use the needle to pump the goat milk powder soaked in warm water into the kitten.

When feeding, feed the cat from the side and let it open its mouth actively. The amount of each feeding should be carried out little by little and should not be rushed. This is a period that requires more concern. Feeding is required every 2-3 hours, in small amounts and multiple times. But even in small amounts, we must ensure that the kitten's belly is slightly rounded after eating.

In addition, we also need to wipe their anus to help stimulate defecation. If your cat doesn’t eat or defecate, go to the hospital to consult a professional doctor if you have any doubts.

These are the three most important care points. In addition, we also need to observe whether the cat’s eyes are open, the condition of the blue membrane of the eyes, the development of the facial features, the growth of teeth and the support of the limbs, etc.

For most people, this is a hard time.

This is a life that needs to be carefully cared for and not given up easily. When a life grows up healthily under your care, you will find that those hardships will bring beauty as expected.
