Question

okay so my friends aunt found a 8 day year old kitty on the construction site and has been taking care his stepmom went to the vet and got special food how do i make sure this cat will live for a very long time

Answer 1

We had a tiny baby kitten one time, we did mix up a special milk mixture (as advised by our vet) I don&#039;t remember all the ingrediants, but i know the main staple of it was condensed milk...not regular milk.

One other thing you&#039;ll want to do is to stimulate the kitten to go to the bathroom, both pee and poo.   Momma cats do this by l*****g them (however, I wouldn&#039;t advise that...:)  Seriously, take a wet papertowel so that it&#039;s soft and gently wipe around the hinny area to stimulate the kitten to potty.   They can&#039;t just do it on their own right away.  

Same with the eyes (if they are not open yet) just keep them clean with a papertowel, like Momma would be l*****g them.    

Consult a vet for other specific details.   Our &quot;Gonzo&quot; grew up to be a very large, very healthy cat!.

Good Luck!!!

Answer 2

Do every thing the vet tells you to and form strong bond between you and the cat. Love it ,play with it  and teach it to come when called.    Become its bff. Make sure it gets all its shots and keep them up. Feed it good cat food. This means reading the labels. Have a loving session every day to reinforce your bonds of love. I know that there is a myth that cats are aloof and need no one but if you met mine you would realize that they need a daily dose of love and affection. A cat can live twenty year so this is a long term commitment.

HI, i have two kittens and would advice that you get them kitten milk, if you cant find the kittens mother. Plus get her checked out at the vets to check the kitty&#039;s not ill, then give her the milk, a warm bed (bedding, shelter etc...) and love, which it looks like your doing, good luck.  

Answer 5

Do what you normally do to a kitten or cat, Feed it 4 times if its a kitten, 2 times a day if it is a cat, plenty of water and if long haired a bath every week and groom every two days. Also you can find a serum called Kitty Kat Kechup which is just an oil you put in the cats food or drink and it gives your cat a dose of vitamins in every bite or sip. Keep it very warm by getting it a blanket and keeping it inside. Leave it in a quiet room, but to be honest you should really take it to cats protection and have them look after it and when it is old enough you can have it back and keep it as a kitten x x

Answer 6

Give it the kitten milk replacement until it&#039;s 5-6 wks old, then KITTEN food (canned or dry), until it&#039;s AT LEAST ONE year old...and get all the immunizations needed ON TIME...

Give it a safe, dry environment to live in (preferably indoors), and LOADS of love and attention.  

Until the kitten is pooping on it&#039;s own, you need to rub it&#039;s anal area after every feeding, so it&#039;s stimulated to &quot;go&quot; (keep cloth below, so you don&#039;t end up with a handful of p**p/pee)...

When it&#039;s old enough ...3-4 wks...fix it a litterpan with REGULAR litter (not clumping).  After it stops trying to eat the litter, you can switch to the clumping kind.

When it&#039;s 4 months old, have it spayed (female) or neutered (male).  This will help to ensure a healthy long life, with no traumas or kittens!

Hope this is what you were looking for.

Good luck..........

Answer 7

get a bottle that has a nipple that is V shaped... they seem to get more milk than the ones shaped like a U

The kitten has to be fed EVERY 2 HOURS.. just like a human infant.  

When done take a wet cloth and wipe the bottom... to stimulate it to pee / poo.

Get a heating pad and put it on LOW... place it  UNDER 1/2 of A box.

Put the kitten in the box with a blanket.  (Putting the pad under 1/2 of the box gives the kitten somewhere that it can excape the heat if it gets too hot)  there are heating pads just for cats so that might be the best thing  though.

when the kitten is around 4 - 5 weeks it will need to learn how to use a litter box... which is what the mom would teach it.  place some of it&#039;s poo in the box uncovered... take the kitten there and show it how to cover the poo.

you have 6 or more weeks of a lot of work.

(you might call your local vet and see if there is a mom nursing kittens that would take this kitten ... then she will do all this for you)

good luck
