My neighbor found a tiny kitten on her deck today. She waited and looked no sign of mom or other kittens. He is about 3 weeks old. I just so happen to have a stray mom i took in that had 6 kittens 3 weeks ago. I gave him some KMR, his eyes looked sunken in. He drank a decent amount from a bottle. He looks good, so I tried to introduce him to mama kitty. No way!! she hissed and howled. She kept kicken him away while her babies were nursing. So I took him out and let her calm down. I seperate mama from kittys when she eats, so I can tidy up the kennal and put fresh blankets in. I handle the babies, so they become accustom to human touch. I had an idea to wipe all the kittens with a dryer sheet so they all smell the same. I layyed them all back together with the orphan kitty and let them fall asleep. Then after mom was done eating, I let her back in and she did as usual, went to her babies and layed down to let them nurse. No problem he found a nip and ate like a champ!! Yay!!! I just hope she doesn't reject him once the smell wears off!! any other ideas!!
