Question

i just found some baby kittens in my back yard and i dont know what i should do to take care of them, what should i feed them?there is five of them and they need to be fead right away, and there momma cat abandend them!

Answer 1

First of all, it depends on the age of them.  I would NOT feed them anything but the kitten milk or kitten food from the vet\Petco, etc.  Never feed your kitten regular milk at all.  The recipe from the first person is scary to say the least.  Kittens can't handle alot of the ingredients listed.

Answer 2

This came from Tasha from a question i asked earlier hope it helps:

Kitten Formula

INGREDIENTS:

1 lg. can evaporated milk (not Milnot)

2 tbsp. plain yogurt (not diet)

2 tbsp. mayonnaise (real)

1 tbs. Karo Syrup (light)

1 pkg. Knox gelatin

1 egg yolk (beaten)

1 cup of liquid unflavored Pedialyte

INSTRUCTIONS:

Mix milk, yogurt, mayonnaise and syrup together well.

Bring 1 cup water to boil and mix in Knox gelatin; set aside.

Mix egg yolk with small amount of milk mixture and beat well.

Add gelatin and water to milk mixture and beat well. Add in egg yolk mixture and beat well.

Pour into a freezer safe bowl or similar type of bowl with a cover and set in refrigerator.

We usually use Ice Cube Trays for our glop pudding. Pudding will last for two weeks covered in refrigerator.

Always warm pudding to room temperature (milk form) before feeding.

It is very rich in calcium, this pudding can be used as a supplement for kittens, sick cats and show cats to put on weight. Several Veterinarians have approved this recipe as being balanced and nutritious.

You still need a kitten bottle though

Answer 3

Humane societies often have lactating kitties. Call your local one and ask. That might be what you need rather than feeding 5 kittens every few hours

Answer 4

i think you should take them inside put them in a blanket, in a box. Then go to the petstore, or vet, or specialist SOMEWHERE and get them kitten formula ( aka processed milk) and bottle feed them, they are babies, so they can only have milk especially made for kittens that you should get. They should be fed this for 1-2 weeks, and kept warm at all times. Please nurse them back to health, before finding them a good home, and i mean a REALLY GOOD LOVING HOME.

Answer 5

go to the grocery store and go 2 the cat food and they have little caned food for kittens and they shul work your welcome

Answer 6

if you want to take care of them yourself you will need to get nursing bottles and KMR (don't feed them cows milk) you can get liquid or powder mix it is a substitute for mothers milk you can get this at a pet store. Kittens need a warm environment than larger animals.when you feed kittens feed as if they are standing up on all paws never on their back cuz fluid can get in their little lungs. Kittens will eat until they are no longer hungry usually when their bellies are nice and fat You are going to need help feeding them get someone to help you.  If kittens have teeth then they can start eating dry food get science diet kitten food it vet recommended. If its too much to handle you are better off taking them to ASPCA they know what to do.  Good Luck

Answer 7

I don't know enough to answer your question regarding what to feed them.  But I hope you'll find them homes when they're stronger.  I found 3 kittens in my backyard too, but they were old enough to eat hard food.  One is adopted, the other 2 will stay with me forever!

Remember that some shelters will put kittens down if they're under 2 pounds (my local shelter told me that). If you can't keep them, please look for good homes for them, or worst case, bring them to a NO-KILL shelter.

Good luck!

Answer 8

Well you can get kitten formula at your local pet store designed for these situations. you can also make homemade formula. Or you can take them to a vet or no kill animal shelter were they will be taken care of and you don't have to worry. (but you still no u did the right thing)

Answer 9

HEY don't worry i have a baby kitten myself!

um you can always buy a pack of kitten food from a grocery store.. wet food or dry food! you can also buy treats for them

and for now you can put them somewhere warm in your house.. if their really young kittens and if you need to feed them a little something.. try giving them a LITTLE bit of milk NOT TOO MUCH and then go and buy them some kitten dry food.. a bowl to put the dry food in and another bowl for water.

and if you don't want to buy so many bowls, buy a big one for dry food and another big bowl for water and wet food isn't really necessary.

buy dry food for kittens for now!

HOPE THIS HELPED!!! =D GOOD LUCK!
