4 month old blind kitten who wont eat or her own

I have a 4 month old kitten who I rescued from being run over when she was 2 weeks old. I brought her home and nursed her back to health with the help of a local pet store telling me what stuff to give her and how often  to feed until I could get her to a vet. I took her to the vet and they said overall she was ok but to young to test for anything or give shots and just advise on how to care for her. A couple weeks later she started seizuring and I took her back to the vet, at this time we were starting to eat on our own or maybe from my hand. it really depended on her mood but after her last seizure and almost dying it seemed to really set her back on the eating on her own and going in a litter box because now she wont do either. The seizures have caused her to be blind or whatever kind of head trauma she could of had before I rescued her. The vet told me to put her down the last time I was there for seizures but I just couldn't. She fought so hard to stay alive and quite frankly, I wasn't ready o give up on her. Now its ben a couple months and I've ben bottle feeing and syringe feeding her wet at food and kitten food and kitten milk that  put in my food processor to ensure she gets everything she needs. I really need help in how to get her to eat on her own and drink on her own and ideas of how to use the liter box. She's a very sweet little girl who gets excited when you come home and chases your feet on the tile since she can hear you walking and even rough houses with my 100 pound golden. Getting rid of her isn't what I want to do, She has a loving home and I'm a stay at home mom with the time and patience to help her figure her self out, I just need help in how to do it! I really appreciate anyone who took the time to read this and hope someone has an idea. Thanks

Lucky little cat to find you.  I adopted a stray from a shelter, she had stopped eating anything (maybe 4 months old), took her to the vet and the vet said she was going to die and I said she wasn't!  I force fed her with a syringe for about eight weeks and she went from 3.5 pounds to a respectable 5.5 pounds.  One day she just pushed the syringe away and started licking the food off the end of the syringe, I then started giving her small bits of kibble and blobs of wet food out of my hands, eventually when her hunger signals were working she started eating on her own, however, she would not eat any wet food at that point.  Here we are 11 years later and she is now a true carnivore (it took three years to wean her off kibble), all I can tell you is to just persevere, if she is otherwise healthy & happy.  One of the things that I used is the bonito fish flakes, you can buy them online or in any international type of market.  It is dried fish, paper fine but you sort of squish a bit into the food and fluff some on top and usually the cat will dive in, you can also use it as an enticement or treat.  The other thing which you can buy on amazon or from a vet is a probiotic food additive called Forti Flora - it's what they coat kibble with to make it smell good (it's derived from animal enzymes), anyway you sprinkle a bit on the food and it smells really good - maybe your little one is not smelling her food?  Mimi ate her way through about 4 boxes and several bags of tuna before she decided that wet food was actually ok.  This little cat looks at you as being "momma" so of course she wants you to feed her.  I still very often have to stand for a few minutes and pet Mimi and talk to her to induce her to start eating, then she is fine.  The last thing I did was buy a cat fountain, you could teach your little one to play a bit with it and she should start drinking, however based on your post it sounds like she is getting a lot of moisture from what you are feeding her.  If the seizures are not signs of something more serious she should will eventually get it.  Try some different types of boxes, maybe something with a low edge or even pee pads might work.  I hope that you find a successful combination, I didn't really get much help from vets, the most useful information came from other cat owners.

I'm going to have to try the fish flakes and the water fountain, those are great ideas. I'm glad you had so much luck with your little kitty,  it leaves me hopeful. I figured I'd turn to other pet owners too since I find it insane when a vet is saying put an animal down who is having a problem but isn't on its death bed, who's meowing in excitement when she hears you come home. Thanks for your help! Ollie and I appreciate it!
