May I add one more?
- DON'T tell the whole world about it. Too many people going to see
the poor kitty will only attract more cat-fearing bigots to
complain to the Town Council. End result = more deaths.
But seriously, if you are going to take care of a kitten of nursing
age (ie, lost its mother), you can opt for the alternative of
feeding warm Magnolia (Fresh) milk. Though that will give kitten
slower growth compared to the specialty formula for babies. Heard
from some CWS caregivers that a "S26" or something powdered milk is
best.
You'll need to get a few (3-4) nursing bottles though, cause after
the first 1 week, your first bottle would get totally chewed up by
the kitty. And throughout all times, keep them warm. Hot-water
bottles under the box or blanket is good for simulating mother's
body heat, and so is good for helping kitty to sleep (and
grow).
This fellow, named Fuji, was nursed from 1-week old (mother was run
over) in Dec 2004.
