NURTURING A 2 WEEK OLD KITTEN?

Question

Hello,

I am receiving a 2 week old kitten tomorrow. He was abandoned from his mother and family. I have a great passion in nurturing him to a great healthy cat.=-D I need advice and help on how to take care of him at such an early age, and what kinds of products and things i would need for him.

please help THANK YOU!!

Answer 1

They sell canned kitten milk and feeders for it in pet stores. The kitten will need feeding every 3 hours or so for a couple weeks. Try kitten solid food as it gets older, then adult food after six months to a year. Be sure you litter box train it by setting it in the box each time it awakes, and right after it eats unless it falls asleep first.

Answer 2

Caring for such a young cat is tricky and a great responsibility, requiring specialist information. I suggest you take it straight to the vet, where you can get all the info and advice you need firsthand from an experienced professional.

Good luck with your baby!

You can purchase power or caned milk at a pet store or vet. Two weeks you may still need to bottle feed him. Make sure you take him to the vet for shots and a good bill of health. They will also show you how to make the milk (if you buy the power formula).

This kitten is gonna be a handful so make sure you have toys to play with him and clean the litter box daily. I recommend you getting the natural litter instead of the clay. It's a little more expensive but so much better for him and you. So when you go to the pet store you can tell them you have a new kitten and they'll walk you through what you need.

Mainly you be looking to buy a litter box, litter, dry food (look for low ash cos the ash clogs up the urine flow in their p***s), water and dry food bowls (although you can just use you're own bowls you don't use often) and a string or ball to play with. (oh and boxes and paper bags are wonderful for them to jump in and out of)

You'll need to get him neutered in four to six months. Here in California it's now a law to have your cats neutered by four months, because of so many killings of unwanted stray cats. So make sure you save enough to do that, it's about $100-200 but well worth it. Esp. for boys, so they don't start "marking" their territory.

You're gonna have a wonderful time with this little guy. Take lots of pictures cos they do grow up fast. :)

Answer 5

Aw congratulations =D

You will need, plenty of toys to occupy him - and he will need to be neutured between the age of 4 - 8 months. You will need some special, cat food aswell.

You are going to have to be like a mummy to, and clean round the private part gently with a little cotton ball. He will need to be fed about every 3-4 hours aswell.

You will have to feed him formula milk found in local pet stores like petsmart. (http://www.petsmart.com/graphics/product... Also, make sure you have a bottle, kitten dry food ready for when he's grown up, fresh water at all times, a small litter box where he is able to walk inside.  Make sure you litter box train him as soon as possible.  Make sure you watch him all the time because he is so young, he probalby has trouble walking and seeing and could fall.  Thanks for taking care of a abandoned kitten (: best of luck!
