Hey guys, I'm concerned about a stray kitten I found yesterday. I don't know if she's eating enough.
The mother? I don't know. I followed Google's advice and tried to distance myself from it to see if the mother would return to it. After a full day, nothing. The kitten still had the water and slime from birth. After 9-10 hours, no mother came for it.
I was worried about how vulnerable she Was, felt like she was left to die. Plenty of Hawks, other stray cats and occasionally stray dogs in the vicinity. Not to mention foot traffic. So, after a full day of nail-biting anxiety, my wife and I decided to care for it.
Armed with Google, we are trying our best to help the little girl.
I tried to feed it with a syringe but the syringe head was too big. So I got an eye drops container, cleaned it well and used it to feed the kitten lacto-free milk. Should be fine According to my wife who asked arabic Google. Formula milk for kittens doesn't exist in the city I live in so that's what we're using.
We try to feed her every 2-3 hours but sometimes it's challenging. Sometimes, she just doesn't want to take the food. After drinking a bit she falls asleep. I don't know if she's eating enough each time. How much should she be eating per feeding?
We try to stimulate her genitals so she can relieve herself, but so far, it's only been urine.
And we try to keep her as warm and comfy as possible.
No vets in the area. Would appreciate any advice.
