I was given a stray kitten today, from a farm - there was 4 found, they've all been handed out to people that can care for them, I have had one before and its now a terror, but this one is smaller

took it to vets, it weighs o.4k thats tiny!!!!

Help me, im scared it will die :(

ive fed it 5ml of kitten milk with a syringe and its now in a box on a hot water bottle

its a bit sleepy, was more active earlier but now seems very sleepy / floppy

Oh brilliant news, I am so glad. She really is utterly gorgeous . Don't think you need to worry about her weigh in tomorrow ! There's someone on one of the other threads in the Litter tray who has a kitten the same age,?the thread about the neighbour's cat.

Can I jump on board here please?! I too have a neglected 5 week old kitten. I gave her a flea bath last night and removed 63 fleas now! She hasn't half perked up today and has played for 2 hours but not eating much. Been giving her kitten milk which she will have and made her kitten soup this morning that she ate some of. She is weeing but no poo as yet, but prior to coming to us she hadn't been eating and people who had her had been giving her some cows milk oh and tried offering fried chicken Hmm

She looks much brighter now fleas all gone and I guess it's a good sign she's played and stayed awake for 2 hours this morning! Will get a pic up of her asap!

oh and need new battery for my scales so will weigh her later, but she is teeny tiny

hey Maxybrown!!

I took the kitten to the vet before i bought her home and had her frontlined - i hate fleas!!!!

I will worm her with panacur at the weekend - as she weighs o.4k she wil need less than 1/2 a graduation

shes in a box on a hot water bottle, with food in a bowl which shes eating - shes well onto the second kitten pouch now :)
