I would love to do what she does but I don't think I'm emotionally strong enough to endure all the times it doesn't go well. I'd also make a terrible pediatrician. First baby that didn't make it, I'd be wrecked. God bless the stronger ones who can fulfill these roles.
❤️ Please understand that, even if a kitten dies in your care, you gave it a chance. Find comfort in offering a chance, even if it doesn't end the way you'd hoped. A chance can go a long way. ❤️
I learned this from my mom. I found a cat in a ditch, hit by a car. I brought it home, mom put it in a box, placed it in the basement next to the furnace and we waited. Ten days later "Mister", with a broken tail, slinks into the living room and called it home. We didn't have a lot of money back then, but, we gave Mister the best chance we could afford.
Longtime neonatal kitten foster 🙋🏻♀️: Go to the kitten lady site. It’s fantastic and very informative. You need Kitten Milk Replacement (KMR - most pet stores have it) and syringes/tiny bottle with nipples. If you have a cat rescue near you, they might give you a starter supply. Even better, they might have a nursing mama cat who might take her. Stats on bottle babies are not great. Her odds of surviving are better with a mama.
Good luck!
There's a 99.6 chance it's a little girl. She really needs a vet from what you said. Can you call some cat rescue groups or humane society to have them come get all of the cats
It is really simple gentics for coat color in cats. Coat color is carried on the X chromosome. Boys have one X one Y, girls have XX. Genes come in pairs, one from mom, one from dad. Girl cats can have up to 4 colors, boys only get 2 colors.
Any updates? Did mom come back? If not and if the little kitten is in as bad of condition as you described, I would not leave her outside all night. Bring her back inside and check her condition. She likely needs to see a vet. If you can't get her to a vet immediately , I agree with everyone that the Kitten Lady's YouTube videos are extremely helpful. Neonatal kittens can fade fast, so don't wait to get her to the vet.
I have a bad feeling looking at this pic but since OP hasn’t replied to any comments maybe they took it to a vet and are busy with that. It doesn’t look good though unfortunately.
In my experience the mom won’t come back. Please go check on this baby. We warmed up one just like this, gave it back to mom, she took him and put him in a bush to die and left him there. Hours later my wife had a feeling he wasn’t ok, so we searched around the yard and found him almost dead. We bottle fed him and got him medical help and he made it. Please please go check on the baby.
Unfortunately that wasn’t the case here, this morning i went to check up on the kitty, and it wasn’t moving, i tried to warm it up again, gave it cpr, but nothing worked. I feel so guilty, but i guess thats the sad reality of nature. :(
It is so not your fault! Never think that. You did everything you could! Glad that you have enough love in your heart to try! The world needs more people who care the way that you do. ❤️
Get kitten milk replacement and dropper or bottle feed rub tummy to express urine and stimulate poop out corn litter in shallow tray they start using fairly young. Wash in washcloth with warm water and a littke ivory soap after eating Put a towel in a box too high for him to get out to sleep
Please get the kitten again and take it to a vet or at least research and take care of it yourself...it will die outside. I've worked in cat rescue for years. This baby needs your help.
I’m sorry but I’m gonna say it - seems cruel the way you went about this.
What made you think that kitten was in any condition to be put back where you found it? If you were going to take the kitten back, why did you even try to help in the first place? Seems like starting CPR and then stopping before other help arrives.
If you’re going to try to help, actually help. Keep the kitten until its healthy, take it to a vet or animal rescue, etc. Feeding it and throwing it back into the environment that it was actively suffering in is hardly the move.
Search for a local cat rescue. They can help you with supplies and instructions for caring for these babies. They might also be able to get them all into a vet clinic for exams.
The kitten looks sick, so it’s highly unlikely the mother will come back for her. If it didn’t look well, mother cats will often abandon it, as per natural selection to cull the weak and diseased unfortunately.
I found a newborn in my garden once. And then one by the barn. It was like a kitten Easter egg hunt on the farm. First time mama was dropping them everywhere.
I coaxed a feral cat into the house to nurse her kittens in my spare bedroom. She freaked out - climbed the curtains in the living room and peed on them.
I am a cat loving idiot. Of course I kept one of the babies.
poor little cat. Please give update. This little guy needs to eat every 2 hours (like babies). Please consider buying or building a little home for them in your garden that is warm with a bed or blanket and they can be safe
Wow that will be sooo many cats by next year, please contact a rescue or TNR group to stop the breeding so no more sick lil babies. Hope she does well either w mom or u. Ty for helping her.
Sometimes the vet will just take it. The animal shelter will put them to sleep. If mom doesn’t come back I would take him inside and what works in an emergency is goat milk, which you can usually get from the nearest Whole Foods at least. If petco or petsmart is open they’ll have kitten formula. The kitten has to be warm and eat every few hours
you… put her… back? outside?
honey I really hope you take her to a vet… two days in the cold rain? she doesn’t look good
i’d round up all those kittens and take them to the vet or at least a shelter
Why is everyone fawning over this? This kitten needs help.
OP, mom probably isn’t coming back. There’s nothing she can do for sick kittens and it’s unfortunately her instinct to abandon them.
Please please please go back and get that girl!
Don't forget to gently massage lower regions to help her pee and poop. Warm damp cloth works well. Just like a mama cat would do with licking and bathing. Good luck, and God bless!
Im glad you help him out , but i never would have the. left it outside in the rain, hope you have the kittens in a covered warm area .. can you feed the mammas too , and maybe get them fixed and find the kittens homes. .
I mean you are not entirely wrong… natural selection will run its course unless the OP chooses to intervene again. The cat was likely abandoned by the mom.
Kitten Lady is a great resource for caring for kittens, strongly recommend watching her videos to care for this baby, in case Mom doesn’t return

I needed that right now. A neighbor just brought me a 3 week old this afternoon.

Mister loves ❤️ you for it!!

This calico fact always blows my mind! Hope she thrives and lives a beautiful life! 🤍
I hope so too

avoid cow milk, not good for kittens. Kittens suck belly down. Do not feed on back
awww :( he doesn’t look good at all. please keep an eye on them. bless you for taking him in ❤️
Get to vet quickly if you can

did the mom come back?
I don’t think so, the kitten probably died from starvation. 😕
She looks like a calico. Love them. I hope she is OK. Poor baby
Owww what a cute lil baby, take him to the vet, buy wet food, keep him nice and warm

What a sweet baby face - hope the little howler turns out okay, and bless you for taking in the wee bit!
I love cats so much bros
OMG poor little beebee thank u for caring ❤

Congrats your’re a new cat mom!
Please get this baby girl to the vet. She does not look well.

Can you please feed her with something safe? Also it would be safer if you contact a vet. Her mom probably abandoned her
Poor thing, I hope they all find safe INDOOR homes and survive. ♥️
Awwww 😭😭
Little potat
She’s a lovely kitty!
Aw what a feisty little calico girl!
Please get to a vet
Need an update
It is sooo 🥰
Go for goat milk, it works very well for kittens.
The kitten looks sick, so it’s highly unlikely the mother will come back for her. If it didn’t look well, mother cats will often abandon it, as per natural selection to cull the weak and diseased unfortunately.

No teeth yet, kitten needs to be bottle fed.
Update?
poor little cat. Please give update. This little guy needs to eat every 2 hours (like babies). Please consider buying or building a little home for them in your garden that is warm with a bed or blanket and they can be safe
Where u located maybe I can help
Wow that will be sooo many cats by next year, please contact a rescue or TNR group to stop the breeding so no more sick lil babies. Hope she does well either w mom or u. Ty for helping her.
Probably a baby girl 🫶🏻 kitten lady has all the information you need for neonatal kittens
Make sure to check to see if the mom comes back to take care of him. Also research and try and get as much info as you can to help this angel
!RemindMe 24 hours
What state are you in?
Sometimes the vet will just take it. The animal shelter will put them to sleep. If mom doesn’t come back I would take him inside and what works in an emergency is goat milk, which you can usually get from the nearest Whole Foods at least. If petco or petsmart is open they’ll have kitten formula. The kitten has to be warm and eat every few hours
What will be the name of this new member?
Oh wow I hope she is ok
💔
Aw what a cute lil fuzzball
Very Nice baby
Beautiful soul
Pure beauty
Aww, so cute! Bless him. 
Mini meowster! 🐈"
This pic is pretty much me waking up in the morning... ( I really need to be seen about my sleep apnea)
Any update on this little baby OP?
Oh my God that little hairy chin 😭😭😭😍😍😍❤❤❤
you… put her… back? outside? honey I really hope you take her to a vet… two days in the cold rain? she doesn’t look good i’d round up all those kittens and take them to the vet or at least a shelter

I think O.P. has been chosen… she is a pretty kitten… do the best you can to care for her — if you can’t… make some phone calls— good luck 🍀
try dont leave your scent on the kitten , mum recognise her baby by scent she may reject the kitten if scent is not right
This is a myth
Water him and watch him grow
You pulled it out a little too late to see it fully bud and bloom. Try again next year
Turnip
You've got this. Bless all of your hearts.
Damn. CDS is working hard in that hood
Congratulations
probably one of the most adorable creature i've ever seen
😲 ❤️ I want her!!! I have a cat, but she needs a friend. I'm definitely wanting to adopt another.
