<\/strong> Put the kitten in an isolated room, with blankets and cushions in a cardboard box for example. The place must be quiet and sheltered from your other animals (if you have any). <\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>This is a very important step. Without their mother, a kitten younger than 4 weeks is fragile and not able to keep their body heat-an essential condition for their development and their ability to eat. If they are without a mother; use blankets or ideally a Magic Bag available at a veterinary or animal store. If needed, raise the temperature of the room.
Indicators of optimal body temperature:<\/p>\n\n
<\/strong> Follow this guide according to the kitten’s estimated age:
The kitten is 0 to 21 days old <\/p>\n\n
\n
From 21 to 28 days: the kitten explores with more confidence, presence of canines, able to retract its claws. When it is four weeks old, you can start giving it wet kitten food diluted with a little water, four times a day. If the kitten does not eat it, keep bottle-feeding (see above).<\/p>\n
The kitten must be well positioned during meals. NEVER PUT A KITTEN ON ITS BACK DURING MEALS<\/strong> . Simply because a poorly positioned kitten can aspirate milk into its lungs instead of swallowing it, resulting in pneumonia and\/or death. <\/span>Kittens are most comfortable when they are in the same position they are in while nursing naturally from their mother. To achieve this position, place the kitten face down on a blanket. If the kitten is restless, it is possible to swaddle him in a towel. <\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/proanima.stagingsept24.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/nourrir-un-chaton-au-biberon-300x200.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
<\/strong><\/b> The mother stimulates the kittens to defecate and urinate regularly. <\/span>Kittens need stimulation until 3 weeks of age. <\/span>They should be stimulated after every meal. Kittens should urinate every time and should defecate at least once a day. Urine is pale yellow\/clear and stools are yellow-brown with a soft texture similar to toothpaste. <\/span>After each meal, rub the abdomen and genital area GENTLY with a cotton ball or gauze moistened with lukewarm water. <\/span>If the kitten is not taking the bottle and appears swollen in the abdomen, try to stimulate urination and defecation before feeding. You can also try burping the kitten by gently tapping the back. If the kitten is swallowing a lot of air while taking the bottle, it may be necessary to stimulate burping after each feeding in addition to urination and defecation. <\/p>\n
Kittens are fragile and are at risk of developing infectious diseases. Before and after caring for the kitten(s), wash your hands. Ideally, use special clothing to come into the kitten’s room. Avoid contact with unvaccinated animals and\/or those that go outside. <\/p>\n\n
\nIf you can keep the kittens until they are weaned<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n
\nContact the animal service of your municipality. Do not leave the kittens in the wild as this contributes to feline overpopulation and gives them little chance of survival. <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nKittens of less than 2 months of age have less chance of leaving a shelter without the presence of their mother. The kitten\u2019s immune system is very vulnerable, and therefore they can easily become sick. By keeping the kittens for a couple of weeks and socializing them you help the shelter enormously by alleviating the number of vulnerable animals being admitted to the shelter- for kittens an environment which can be very stressful for them. Experiencing kittens growing up at home is a beautiful experience. Kittens only ask for a place to call home, some food and lots of love! <\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
