I am back once again. We found an abandoned kitten ( est. 2 weeks max) out in a storage room. Just the one and it was very cold. We have seen no signs of the mother but have gotten it up to temp and have been feeding KMR + encouraging poops. It's been working! However I am looking for advice from people who are experienced on what you do when you have to sleep or go to work when it comes to the care of these. All our cats are fixed so we don't have any viable surrogate/wet nurse cat, though one of our cats is very nuturing and would probably take care of it. She's still trying to mother her adult babies. Would that be a bad idea? Good to help with thermoregulation? No vets open here til Monday and I've yet to find any local person with a nursing mama or the means to take it.
it's eaten well and pooped 3-4 times, and has burped also. But i've never had to bottle feed. Then there's the worry over WHY mama abandoned only this one kitten....
