I found two kittens right outside my backyard door, they seemed abandoned so I tried to get them to both come inside. The grey and white one seemed thankful and came inside right away, but the black one was terrifeied and didn't want to come in. It was hissing and stuff so I left it alone. I've never had a pet before so I did some research and estimated the age of the ktiten to be about 4 weeks old. I named her Lily, and she's a very quiet docile kitty who prrs whenever petted, but I don't know if its normal for her to be so quiet..Since i didn't have any cat food on hand, I fed her some wild tinned salmon, and she lapped it up.
Today I fed her salmon again, and walked to my dollarstore and bought her some kitty food. I looked for some type of kitty milk but I didn't see any. Now I'm trying to feed her moistened kitty food but she won't really eat, she's sleeping a lot, and avoiding the food just to nap. All she's had today is the salmon. I'm thinking of feeding her salmon again because at least she ate that but I read too much fish is bad. I'm really worried, she's not very active and isn't eating. On top of that, I haven't seen her poop or pee since. I have no idea if she has any diseases, and I'm 17 without a job so I don't have money for a vet. And my mom doesn't like animals and is just by a hair letting me keep this one, just cause she's so cute and tiny.
Also, I shoudl mention I tried to let the other kitty in the house but that one is way more aggressive and he scared the crap out of my little brother. So we had to force him back outside since none of us are very experienced with animals. That poor kitty was meowing ALL night, my brother started crying cause he felt bad we couldn't take him in.We left food out for him. I just don't know what to do about Lily, I'm unable to provide her with kitty milk, she's not eating enough, she's sleeping too much, as well as vigorously shaking her head from time to time, sneezing. (I checked her ears for mites but saw nothing). What do I do? I don't want her to die.
