Sounds like you're doing a great job. I can't wait to see a pic of her with her eyes open.

My kitten is waking up wet ?
I can feel little wet spots on the towel - no colour or very light pale yellow sometimes been doing this for nearly 24 hours I wake it for feeds every 2-3 hours
It's back legs will be wet and bum and private parts I can't see poo though , I wipe it straight away with cotton balls and water and the Cotten balls are clear so I'm not thinking it's poo that's making the wetness , can kittens pee on its own this early or is something wrong ?

It's pee. Just clean her up so she doesn't get urine burn. Use a warm, damp cloth. She's adorable! [emoji]128149[/emoji]
Darling little KitKat [emoji]10084[/emoji]️She loves belly rubs
That shows how much she loves you. When a cat exposes its belly to you it's the ultimate sign of trust.She loves belly rubs

I'm so glad it's only pee !! Was very worried for a minute hahah -
And she rolls over for me haha she think she's a puppy I think !
Sadly I've only seen a small gain today of 3 grams :/ it really is hit and miss with baby kittens isn't it , some days we have seen 12 grams and some days non , I hope to see a better gain tomorow ,
She's a fighter our little gift from god that's for sure
All we can do is show it love and trust and try our very best to help her grow

I've been able to locate a nursing cat from a friend who have its own babies not much older then this one who's accepted her in ! So far she's doing great and feeding and cuddling up with the other kittens , I hope this will save her life

Do you know anything about the health of this mom cat? How did she get pregnant? Does she go outside?
Will you be taking her back when she is older? How many kittens in the litter? Your kitten still needs to be weighed daily to ensure that she's gaining enough.
So this is good news but not necessarily best for her, it depends on how many are in mom's litter, and because they are a bit older, if there are more than 3 she will struggle to nurse, they are established in their nursing spots, and will fight to keep her away.
So she must be watched and weighed carefully to be sure she continues to gain.

As much as we love her we were not sure if we would be keeping her , I just wanted to give her a chance to survive . I feel like she's doing better with "muma cat " then with me , I visit often weighing her as well
