I remember when my baby Isis was this young. Her mother abandoned her at only 4 days old. She was a neonatal kitten and I didn't have the wonder nipple or syringe. So I used eye droppers. I used cotton balls as well to help her use the bathroom. I also used to sleep on the couch and had her sleep on my chest with a heating pad. Years later she's my sweet baby girl. She's almost 8 now.

[@lopy3038]

why would you name your cat isis

[@ladydais]

Nutto she's in her teens now. I named her after the Egyptian Goddess because of her strength and will to survive. Had I known her name would have been associated with a terror group a few years later after I named her I would have named her something else.

[@lopy3038]

ah, ok

[@kolorfriend]

You don't need to change the name of anything named isis just because of a certain group, isis is a beautiful name 😊

Same here! My cat gave birth 4 days ago and 1 kitten wouldn't latch at all so I tried feeding him with kitten formula but saddly he didn't make it, he was lethargic, and couldn't breath properly. He was blue and cold. I tried my best but did some mistakes and Wonder if the feeding caused him to die?

[@sonamsalian4763]

Very helpful video

[@nouchkadevries4659]

I feel so bad because I once rescued a 4 week old kitten out of a machine at a chicken farm. The farmer said: "just throw a rock on it so we can work further and it won't destroy the machine". I screamed in his face that he's an awful animal abuser and I quited the job emediatly. I then took the kitten in a vest that I wrapped around him. I then fed it till it grew up with "catmilk". I now heared in the video that that's not good for a kitten. I'm glad that I know that now. The kitten has survived very well and has become a strong little fella. :) thanks for the video kitten lady. Cats are my everything

I rescued a newborn kitten yesterday, no more than 2 days old. Syringe feeding is hard, it was only eating like half of the recommended amount, but thanks to your video I finally managed to make it drink 2 ml in one feeding session! I hope it's going to make it. Thank you for all your informative videos and IG posts

[@medienmitmarius278]

How is the Cat now?

[@rep600able]

Did the cat survive?

[@labrujanat]

I feel so bad watching this. When I was little (around 7 or 8 ) I found a baby kitten crying inside of a cinder block in my backyard. Her mom and other kittens were all dead in the alley so I ran inside, and begged and begged my mom to help. I ended up being the one taking care of her, and raising her and watching this made me super aware that I did EVERYTHING wrong. No wonder the poor kitty had diarrhea all the time.

[@_iiLimitless]

Nat I'm so sorry that happened.. but you tried your very best. Thank you for helping the kitten anyway ;u;

I fostered kittens for the first time this fast summer and it was hard, fun, and totally worth it. I had 4 orphan kittens and I got them when they were 4 weeks old. Sadly, the shelter that I was working with didn't know how to take care of kittens so I had to figure it out on my own. But your videos have taught be a better, more efficent way to raise kittens. Thank you! And I used a 1 doller chip and dip platter from the doller tree. It worked super well, you should try it!

I'm also here for the same reason! Good luck with your little nugget! ❤

[@MrWaalkman]

@@teresacamp Thanks! I checked in on him this afternoon and he is gaining weight and doing great! "Peanut" absolutely hated the bottle that I got from Walmart, but it wasn't like I had a bunch of choices. Using the bottle is more like waterboarding a kitten rather than feeding it until they get bigger. So that was his only meal. My major contribution was keeping him warm by holding him. I was up for 30 hours. :) Weirdly we have three cat/animal rescue centers here in our town but we can't seem to rate a decent breakfast place. So I was able to hand him off temporarily on Sunday at noon to Lucky's Cat House where one of the volunteers has a momma cat with nursing kittens at home and she was more than happy to accept him. We will properly adopt him around the beginning of July after he is weaned and neutered. So to be prepared (and to help out my neighbor who had 13 "surprise packages" show up the other day) I bought some of the Miracle Nipples with the locking syringes. Good luck with yours! The thing that had me freaking out was that he wouldn't poop. He peed a couple of times, but I was beginning to worry that he was constipated. That wasn't the case, he just didn't have anything in him. The moment that he was introduced to the "Miracle Nipple" he ate like a little pig. :)

[@teresacamp]

@@MrWaalkman that's wonderful! I'm so happy he's doing well and thriving! They're so tiny and fragile. Mine was doing well until she declined quickly yesterday. I took her in to the vet and she ended up having an eye and naval infection along with pneumonia. I gave her medicine, milk, and a lot of warm cuddles. She passed away last night unfortunately. We found her abandoned by her mother a few days ago. I wish I could have helped her more...I just order the miracle nipple yesterday and it's coming in today. My heart is shattered right now. I'm keeping all of the supplies I have though in case we need them in the future.

[@MrWaalkman]

@@teresacamp I am so sorry, that is a heartbreaker. The lady at Lucky's Cat House told me that the average is about one survival for every five bottle feeders. It seems that the mother knows when to cut her losses. It looks (fingers crossed) like Peanut and I got lucky. But I have to credit him with being a scrapper with a very loud voice. :)

I know it says kitten lady but I assume you know a lot about grown cats also. my cats name is zeus and I've had him for 8 years and he's my best friend. within the last month he's been licking his hair off.. we thought It was fleas but we took him to the vet and they said he didn't have any and they said he was just stressed. within the past week he has been puking up his food... can I have your opinion I'm extremely worried about him!

[@elizabethpokos7303]

+Faith Stambaugh Is there a specific location the cat is pulling out his hair? Sometimes the location can tell us something about why they are pulling hair out. Also did your vet run any blood work?

[@faithstambaugh3837]

Elizabeth Pokos his back legs and lower back pretty much anywhere he can lick it off.. he seems to be happy and purring when I hold him and playing but I'm worried.. and the vet said he did run test and they came back negative

[@elizabethpokos7303]

I wonder if your vet ran a CBC and chem panel... My cat developed similar issues but only after she was diagnosed with stage 3 kidney disease and arthritis. She pulls the hair around her hips on her back due to the pain in her kidneys and hips... maybe your cat has arthritis (which is common in older cats). You can try adding glucosamine supplements to your cats food with approval from your vet. A whole month supply is about $12 through my vet and really helps my kitty out. Also have you changed anything recently that would cause the kitty to be stressed? Any new foods or roommates?

[@faithstambaugh3837]

Elizabeth Pokos we haven't changed anything major that I can recall the weather has been crazy hot and cold and changing so I didn't know if that was something

[@elizabethpokos7303]

Faith Stambaugh The weather could possible be causing the stress... I'm sorry but there isn't much I can help with without seeing the kitty for an exam myself. Good luck with your search though (:

Hello from Spain!! I love your videos! They’re helping me so much with my baby kitten. He’s 10 days now and he’s been feeding from a bottle, but I’ve just change to a syringe to control him better, and he doesn’t need my help with the syringe, he sucks so hard on the miracle nipple that the formula just goes down without my help. He’s been sneezing lately, but the vet says he’s fine, he doesn’t have any liquid on his lungs or any inflammation on his nose. This is why I changed from the bottle to the syringe, so I can control everything much better. Thank you for your videos!! 😘🥰

It's instinct for them to bury their poo to avoid predators sniffing it out. If you see one going, just pick them up and place them in the litter box. Yes, you'll leave a trail of poo or pee, but they will soon understand that sandy surfaces = good places to go potty.

[@brem4204]

Xion Memoria not to mention cats are smart and learn very quickly especially if siblings are involved

[@jailparties]

Emmy B my little tom immediately knew how to use the litter box, and he was just shy of five weeks or so (we found him, but since he was old enough to eat solids we assumed his age was five weeks)

[@ANCIENTWARRI0R]

Actually using a litter box will come naturally. First step is the kitten will pee and poop away from where they sleep. This is when I add a small very low box with clay litter, not clump, to where I'm keeping them. As they grow the area I'm keeping them in gets larger but if it gets too large they won't look for the box but will just go anywhere. If they do that the area has to be made smaller. Hope this helps

[@madhaviv4582]

Emmy B nice names

[@melaniemarquez3446]

do i have to wake them up every 2 hrs even if they are sleeping

[@rafidahje8862]

Melanie Marquez yup

[@debbiesherrill7228]

Yes, every two hours. Set your alarm.

[@myman7336]

No need to disturb their sleep. They'll wake up when they get hungry anyway.

[@hlaingmin3207]

I just got an orphan kitten and I had no idea what to do. Thank you so much ❤️

[@jaygutierrez4421]

I found a small litter of kittens in an abandoned house while exploring with some friends. 4 kittens were found but one was dead unfortunately. They didnt even have their eyes open yet. We waited a bit for the mom but she never came. My friend took 2 since he had room for 2 and he has cats of his own. I took the other because no one else could and i didnt want it to die. even with my mother saying not to bring the kitten home, i did. Once my mom saw it, she agreed that we couldnt just leave it. We took it to the vet, went to get the recommended supplies, and the kitten doing really well now! These videos are super helpful especially since i dont know anything about taking care of a kitten. Ive learned so much already :)

[@shyna2163]

Can you make a video saving cats on death row? :(

[@lynns3655]

if cats were spayed and neutered there would not be any on death row and no babies being born that would end up homeless and/or on death row

[@simmercatytblog4913]

What elopement need to think about is no Condensed milk Cows milk Almond milk Human baby formula Also don't feed baby cats Cat milk it is meant as a suplimental treat for an adult cat make sure you don't feed that to baby kittens

[@begum1lik]

I just got a kitten that is rejected by the mom. She kept on sleeping on her to keep her excluded. Then I watched your video and wow... She now got used to the bottle and she is eating 5ml sometimes (she is 3 days old) and I am partying :) She is such a pretty lump of happiness. Thanks for this video you are an angel!!!

[@rafaelcastillo3834]

I'm glad I found this video. I've been trying to feed a newborn kitten the mother doesn't seem interested in and now I ordered a pair of Miracle Nipples and a larger syringe than the ones I have from Amazon.

[@cseeter]

I've been wondering this for some time now. Let's say I find a kitten in the middle of the night, no pet stores are open, but I want to feed the kitten with something. What can I do to keep the kitten alive until the morning?

[@KittenLady]

Keep kitten formula on hand at all times. :) Really, though -- in an emergency situation, you'd still want to keep them hydrated and warm until you could access formula. Fluids (like flavorless pedialyte), warmth and safety until you can get to a store, which you should do as SOON as one is open. Some people will also use goat's milk, which could be an option in a pinch. But the very best is always to use formula, so it never hurts to keep some in the freezer or keep a can on hand. (Visit KittenLady.org/supplies to check out formulas I like!)

[@cseeter]

Thanks for the reply. I'm not a cat owner, and I never saved kittens before, but I always watch your videos so that I know what to do in case I ever come across a kitten in need. That's why I don't really have supplies on me at all times, but you are right, one never knows when the formula will come in handy. I checked your website, but I suppose they have different brands here in Hungary :D

[@frahaa8517]

Hello, after using the syring do you need to sterilise it like the baby bottles or is only washing it with hot water ok to avoid contamination with germs. I'm sorry for my bad English, and hope you have understand my question. I admire you for the great job you do taking are of the kittens with so much love and patience

[@amyguerrero8474]

1) Can you use the same syringe every time (after washing ofc) also do I just rinse it or use dish soap?? 2) can i use the same syringe for different kitties?? Or one syringe per kitty??

[@mariahernadez2350]

Amy Guerrero use a little water.

[@mariahernadez2350]

Yes,you can use same syringes,but but if one or two get sick or one has a disease then use separate

[@junechamberlin5184]

Thank you so much for this video. I was following along with you, feeding a 3 day old orphan kitten that someone turned into our local shelter. You answered all my questions...barber shopping to get him to stay still enough to syringe feed. I don’t have the nipple yet, just ordered one. So we are having to use a plain syringe for now. He fights me every step of the way. I pray I am getting enough food into him!

[@derieck1017]

Thank you you’re a life saver My mom hates cats and I’m 14 and tries to feed the baby cat when she’s at work

[@bobothetroll2873]

I wish I could foster like you. But ALLERGIES!!!

[@CatCatuna]

Foster dogs :I

[@kayleehamilton119]

i really rely on your videos. when my cat was pregnant i watched a video of the 0-8 week growth and development for the kittens after they’re born. and it helped a lot. now my cat gave birth to one kitten and two got stuck and she just got out of surgery today and we might lose her, but do to all of this she can’t take care of the kitten anymore, the others didn’t make it, so i have to and it’s my first time and i’m really relying on all of this 😭😭😭. i’m really worried about it all:(. i honestly wish i knew you or you could help me out for at least a day to help me get used to what i’m doing. but that’s not possible. thanks for making these videos for people that need this help ☺️😭❤️🤧!! please keep doing this 🥺❤️

[@kymbonacchi89]

Holy Moly, its not much to care for the kittens but I learned A LOT! Thank You!! This is my first preemie kitten care and you made it feel empowering to doing it right.

[@kymbonacchi89]

I am also referring to the other care videos she has out there for the kitten care.

[@malloryedwards846]

Thank you so much for this video! I have three kittens mom is trying to reject so I have been trying to feed them and I didn't know they needed to be at least ten days old for the normal kitten bottles! I ordered a miracle nipple and now I'm sure things will go way smoother!

[@ej7692]

It is my bliss!! Thank you for guiding newcomers with accurate information! Brava!

[@autumnrose2041]

Currently have 3 bottle babies and they're doing great! Thanks for the videos!

[@tanvira_akhter]

[@garyryckewaert5724]

Thank you for your wonderful educational videos. You are a very good teacher/trainer. I'm glad I ran across one of your videos, now I'm hooked.

[@ckkoehler1480]

So, my 8 day old is getting fiesty and strong. Sometimes I feel like it's a struggle to get her to latch on. I take it as a sign that she is a fighter, which she has been! I got her on day one😭. I couldn't let her die but the mom pushed it aside. This video is great. Ty!!!!🙏💜

[@1cozykitten444]

Thank you so much for your video. My daughter and I found a new born kitten just as your described in your video. We hoped the mother would return for her.When that didn't happen we went to Walmart to pick up supplies to care for her. We hadn't seen your video. Bought the right powdered milk but not the correct syringe 😞. Will get it today. Thank you so much for video and the chart. Hope our cat (no name yet) turns out as healthy and happy as yours did.🐈🐈👍👍.

[@zoukaaazem8344]

What your doing is wonderful I'm learning a lot , i found an orphaned kitten and followed your tips . thank you so much.. Keep it up with new videos

[@marilynlynds3398]

I have never kept account of how much I feed my newborn kittens. I go by how much they are peeing and pooping. However I have been taking care of orphans for a local rescue for almost 20 years so it is is almost instinctual. I also ended up with a litter of newborns that were given goats milk, they seemed to do better than KMR fed kittens, far less bowel issues and their poops were not foul smelling and have been using it ever since. Goat milk is an acceptable choice as is KMR. Thank you for your videos, I think that your advice is expert and a real help for people who are new to this. Kittens under 3 or 4 weeks need round the clock care and it is a real challenge to keep them alive. I wish I had access to videos like yours when I was a new kitten foster mom.
