Hello and welcome!

your kitten is very young and may need very special care! be sure you follow the steps properly ^_^

Neko-chan is so cute!

Some tips for you:

kittens younger than one month can't generate their own body warm so basically he is chilling! this is very dangerous since he can die if he gets to cold. You should get an electric blanket or something that generates heat because he can't do it himself. You can also put a bottle with hot water next to him or under the blankets.You shouldn't feed him if he is cold. He needs to be warm and the milk too. Are you using a kitten formula? be careful with cow's milk, kittens are lactose intolerant and he can get very sick if he drinks cow's milk.

Ask me if you have any questions! I raised two kittens, 2 weeks old that I found abandoned too!

Thank you :)

yes i am currently using kitten formula to feed him.

i don't own a electric heat blanket ( singapore is a really warm place so we dont have winter ) so  i normally hit up a cclean sock filled with rice and place it near him. but he doesn't really move towards it..

he is currently asleep on my shoulders XD and it's really warm ^^; but he still twitches

He is so cute! and it looks really small like near 3 weeks old! poor little one.

Kittens at that age always stay with their mothers and that's their source of heat that's why he would like to be close to you as possible. If you don't have a heat blanket or pad, take a plastic bottle and put hot water in the bottle and cover it with a blanket, let the kitten sleep next to the bottle, that would help. (be careful not to burn the kitten ^^)

He's such a cute kitten!

Is he able to poop and pee on his own? Very young kittens need to be stimulated by their mothers. If he hasn't gone to the toilet yet you need to hold him over a sink, run the warm water and gently tap his butt with wet fingers.

Kittens can usually do this by themselves at four weeks, but if he is younger than that he'll need your help.

@Norachan;

He hasnt been able to poop but i did simulate his butt so that he could, he has just started pooping recently but he always peed, i think he is still pretty young but according the vet he is about 3-4 weeks old?

@AlyssaM   :) thank you, i hope that i could be a good mom to him!
