Orphaned Kittens

[Terrylt7]

I read on Craigslist that someone found kittens that are about a week old. Not sure the story about it, but they have them and feeding them. What I am wondering how hard is it to raise orphan kittens that are that young? I am kind of thinking about contacting them but I don't want to try to do it and they pass away. Any info would be helpful asap. Thanks

It's do-able, but a lot of commitment. Call the vet office and get advice first before you decide. I knew a girl who did it successfully. lots of handling and feeding. Good luck and God Bless!

You will need a Animal bottle, looks just like a Baby bottle, and need to get some KMR(Kitten Milk Replacer), and old Towel, and something to keep Kitten Warm, and away from Drafts, and some Scentless Baby Wipes to stimulate them to go pee/poo. They can'tgo potty on their own without stimulation. Feeding about every 2 hours around the clock. I've done it many times, and had to take the Kitties to work with me for the first 6 weeks. Good luck...

Thank you for the advice. The lady never got back to me and I think it is off Craigslist. I knew I was undertaking a major job. I had done it with about three week old kittens but never this young. Thanks again.
