BellaOnline Forums Home and Garden Cats Abandon Kittens- I need help

You can find kitten forumla at Walmart, or any drugstore, country store, etc. I found an abandoned kitten a year ago last august and my neighbor gave me some goat starter formula powder and taught me how to fix it.I found a tiny bottle at a local drugstore and fed her for four weeks, and then crushed kitten chow and mixed forumla with it, letting her lapp it up. The kitten weighed 5 ounces. She is now a year old and weighs almost 14 pounds.You can read about her and how I took care of her, here.

If all else fails Pet Milk is what my kitten loved the most. He was really small when I got him from the pet store and I dont believe he was actually weaned either. He is a big fan of the pet milk. Carnations brand. He drank that for at least 6 months along with soft fancy feast. He doesnt care for any beef products. Anything but beef. no fish until 1 year at least and then not to much. He also loves his Kitten Chow by Purina. The vet said he is a big baby!

that's so sweet of you to nurse the kittens to health-- are you intending on keeping them all? I just adopted a 3-month year old kitten and am just obsessed with her-- I am worried about all the health care costs however as she seems to have worms and an ulcer in her eye already:(

Also-- my kitten seems to love wet cat food but I think she gets diarrhea from it-- what would you suggest doing to get rid of it b/c she won't eat anything else

Mix the wet cat food with good quality dry food, a little at a time. I switched my cats a long time ago from wet to Scienc Diet and they LOVE the Science Diet. Good Luck to you and the babies. ;-)
