Hello. We got a new kitten last night and she is only 8 weeks old. I don't know what happened to her mama, I got her from a friend who found her and two teeny litter mates alone in the alley behind her house. Mom was nowhere to be found. My kitten is teeny tiny so she may have been abandoned because she was the runt. She cried all night long. We have her shut in a room at night and for parts of the day so our child doesn't overwhelm her. What can I do? She seems so young to be away from mama but I don't know how to help her. Ideas? This is my first kitten. I've only ever adopted cats that were 5+ years.
