Got a problem. Our cat keeps abandoning one of her Kittens.

I think op is a troll

You need to act fast with this: I did this with four kittens and you only have one to concentrate on, so that part is good. The problem is that he is very very young and is very fragile: Got to Petco, Petsmart, Pet Supermarket , whereever you can and get powered KMR which is Newborn Kitten Milk Replacement. you mix it with water ( directions on can ) and get the little kitten baby bottle kit, with little cleaning brushes. If you go to a big pet store they will help you find this stuff.

Go to www.safehavenforcats.com , kittenbaby.com, or go to aspca.org ( with aspca put KITTEN in search box ) and you will find all kinds of directions on how to care and feed for a new born kittne. You can also call your vet and the girls at the desk will usually have good info for you, too.

You will end up feeding this little baby probably every hour or two 24 hours...like, you have to set your alarm and get up and feed him every two hours. And he must be kept VERY WARM, like get a heating pad and put him in a warm place. It would be nice if he could be in the same room as mom and other siblings but make sure its WARM, like toasty for him.

Good luck, its a lot of work but worth it. Ideally, I would take him to the vet right away and get him checked out, but if you don't have the financial resources for this, at least these directiosn will get you started. Please keep us posted.

you can get it in any quality pet food store. I did. lost the kitten anyway, but it was too late. it was not healthy from birth.

this is troll thread for sure

How about letting life takes its course. Leave the kitten around a known Coon or Possum area. Two things will happen: Either the Coon adopts the kitten and helps it grow up or what most likely would happen is that a vicious coon will dispatch it and eat it.

Couple of ideas for you. Bless your heart--You
obviously have a very tender spirit to be so
concerned. If you decide to intervene on behalf
of this little one--a heads up on feeding.
A kitten this young only has the instinct to
suck, so just placing it next to a bowl of
milk wont work at all.
Also, BE CAREFUL NOT TO GET FLUID INTO THE
KITTEN'S LUNGS. iF YOU FORCE-FEED TOO FAST
THE KITTY WILL INHALE THE FLUID AND GET PNUEMONIA.
(Sadly, this happened to one of our kitties
and it died. CALL THE HUMANE SOCIETY. Some know
of people who foster kittens and may take on your
baby more successfully than your having to do a
"crash-course 101 in Kitten Rescues!
But please act quickly because every minute
counts with newborns! Good Luck to you!

I had this problem with a little dog... The mother didn't want him...

the solution was to cover the puppie with worm milk with sugar and put it close to the mother she started to lick him and then she took it back it was a cuestion of the smell

I don't if it works for cats I'm not much of a cat person

This actually works with baby goats and lambs when their mothers reject them. It's worth a try if the OP is not a troll.

No, clearly you are the idiot here.

If he would have gotten his cat spayed he wouldn't be having this problem in the first place.

Go to petsmart and get some milk replacer and a bottle. You can likely nurse it yourself. You'll need to keep it warm so wrap it in a washcloth when you feed it and keep it warm - use a heating pad if necessary.

I've raised a ton of kittens on bottles. It will make a wonderful pet because it will bond to you so much.

Don't be afraid to make a rather large opening in the nipple of the bottle at first. It may be weak if she's not been feeding it. In a couple of days when it gets stronger it will suck harder so you'll need a smaller hole in the nipple (you'll get more than one with the bottle).

It's not that hard, you'll do fine...

OP is trolling emotional females ITT

Take the kitten to the vet, a mother cat wont take care of a kitten if its sick.

Trollproof Thread: Our cat is trying to kill her own kitten! What to do?

I stopped reading at "why can't I just flush it down the toilet".

OP is either baiting or too stupid to own a cat.

... um, too stupid to own a cat is REALLY FUCKING STUPID!

Thanks, I was all sad about this kitten.

What a douche you are OP.
Trying to torture the girls of GLP huh?
Fuck you OP.

stop the horseshit
and either take care of the kitten yourself
or bring it to the vet and decide what to do there.

Sounds like it is weak and/or sick so the mother is leaving it alone to pass. You can take the kitten on yourself and wrap it and keep it warm. You can buy kitten formula or you can google how to make it yourself. You would need to take care of the kitten as you would an infant, make sure it is warm and feed it every two hours. You can google more information as well.

Ahhh, another "flush the kitten down the toilet" thread.

I'll use that next time I'm feeling like a complete loser and want negative attention, thanks!

This. I once adopted a "reject". Fed it warm kitten milk replacer from Petsmart. But it was tweaked. Had funny curly hair and then it died. The mother cat knew best.

The hardest thing with trying to raise a rejected kitten is you have to keep it warm because its own "thermostat" isn't working yet and you have to rub its butt and genital area with a warm wet washcloth to make it per and poop. Man those mother cats have to work hard!

Haha OP´s a troll!
He must be the guy with this hilarous website with offenive mails and adds I once read.(anyone got link?)

OP the add with horses which had to be euthanized was hilarious.
("it´s the lake from the neighbour, so you have to dump them in there while he´s not looking haha)

My impression as well.

feed it with the best ...let it get twice the others and hope he gonna kick some ass ...starting with his nice mother begging to get some more food

Focker stated:

"You can milk anything with nipples."


Milk that deadbeat mama cat! Milk those milky pussy nipples til the titties go dry. (Or suck it out and transfer the milk to the kitten like a mama bird with your own mouth)

She's trying to abort it, leave her alone.

If you keep pushing it towards the mom cat she will EAT it to get rid of it. It happened to one of ours....

Our cat has the exact same problem the kitten is so weak it can't even get on a tit it is sad to see a kitten struggle to live this is her second time having a kitten and abandoning the kitten we tried it all it does not work it is really sad and I do not like to see this happen why do animals have to die I just want to cry all day I do not want to ever have an animal ever die again it is way too heart breaking.[googlevid]

If you can't/won't take care of it, get on the phone, asap, as in now, and call the local animal shelters, tell them you can't take care of it, mother is rejecting, can they take it and put it with a nursing cat; otherwise it will die.

Please at least call until you find someone willing to take it on. Or do as poster suggest and surprise your wife when she gets home, look honey, I saved the runt. She'll adore you for life, she'll never forgive you if she finds out you deliberately just let it die.

If my husband can nurse a baby Robin that came out of its nest with peach fuzz, and keep it alive (I helped) and teach it by hand to hunt for worms/food, I think you can handle a kitten. My husband became quite attached to that bird until one day it finally flew off for good.

You could just feed the kitty, then put back in with the rest, not to over handle, and have it continue to bond with other kittens/mom.

Think how would you feel starving to death?
Just because it's a runt doesn't necessarily mean it's sickly. Sometimes the runts outgrow the bigger ones!

back when,our mama cat sould only nurse 4 kittens.If she had more than 4,she would keep the 4 strongest,smother and bury the others.....a lesson for humans.
