Orhanped kitten: need advice!!

Tis Me!! Asked by lanternoflight 3 months ago, 5 answers.

My friend found a kitten today. it cannot be more that 5-7 weeks old. The poor thing is malnourished, tired, probably dehydrated and won't eat. I don't know what to do and I cannot get it to the vet until the morning. Any advice aside from keeping it...

warm?

It will not take the bottle. Or eye dropper. We already have the formula too.

Very important things to remember when finding a stray cat of kitten.
Feline Leukemia Virus
Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV)
feline rhinotracheitis virus and calicivirus
Feline panleukopenia virus

If you have other cats, PLEASE keep this kitten away from them until seen by a vet. A vet can test for these Viruses by doing a combo test that test for FIV/Felv and a parvo test will test for Panleuk.
If the kitten is postive for these you need to make a choice. they are highly contagious and the cat will eventually die from them.
AS far as feeding the kitten may be to weak to feed and need a feeding tube. My only advice is to get to a vet asap

its proberly best to leave her in a room on her own so she can settle, leave her food and water and a warm blanket.
