Hi every one I'm wondering if you could give me some advice I think my kitten is about 2 month maybe a little older but hrs small he's growing but not much when I first got him he look out of proportion but that's got a little better over time the person who Owen mother wasnt really letting mum in to feed kittens so she said she was feeding cat meat but I'm wondering could this be a factor he's healthy other than that eats twice a day with wet and dry food mixed together

It doesn't sound like he's getting enough to eat. Kittens should have dry food left down all the time and should get meals of wet food throughout the day. Maybe 4-6 small meals.

He has dry food down all the time in an automated food dispencer hence why he gets fed wet n dry food mixed together twice a day I am concerns because the lady who had him bedor me wasn't feeding them correct or letting mum feed him so I am wondering if it's the reason why he's small as I live across the road from them I was letting mum in but she hasn't been for a while so that's out of the question now but is they anything I could do to get his growth going if u understand me and thanks for awnsering me

Is there ever a time when the automatic dispenser doesn't have food out?
I don't know if it's possible that his growth was stunted. I would think he should be able to catch up now that he's eating well.
Can you add in a dish of kmr per day? I would also feed wet food more often if you can. Maybe offer 4-6 small meals per day. You don't need to mix it with the dry.
Is there any way you can help to get mom spayed? That's a hard life for mom and kittens. This little one is lucky to have you.

I herd she has been rehomed to my sis but I don't speak to her she took the other kitten smudge had and her she was pregnant right after having kittens as the owner kicked her straight bk out like 2 hours of her giving birth I have always had cats but never had this problem before as my other cats have been fed correctly I got Zeus just after loosing my older cat simba had to have him put to sleep as he had a blocked bladder then my other older cat ran away wen that happens I always keep it full up put about two boxes of biscuits in it and I also feed lots of the stray cats in my area and have a shelter for them to sleep under n keep warm I love cats more than I do humans lol

So what were the kittens eating if their mother was not allowed to feed them? That's awful.
Are you involved with a rescue? Doing TNR? It's wonderful that you help!
I would try feeding more wet meals and kmr each day. I think it will help.
