My kitten was born a couple of days ago, How do I feed her?

6 Answers  |  Asked By: jerseygir1303   109   

She won’t take the bottle and her mama is outside because she seemed like she was being to rough with her, Can’t she die if she does not drink milk, she can’t have hard food yet.

It would be ideal for you to bring the mom cat back inside and let her take care of her baby.

If you choose not to do that, you can read here for proper instructions on how to care for a newborn kitten.

I would use that but my mom won't let me use raw egg yokes, it could somehow contain salmenela or ecoli, I would not want to take the risk But thankz for suggesting the idea

that happened to me with my first cat. You can use a syringe full of milk if you can’t use anything else. I used a syringe on cat joe it worked fine.

maybe you can leave a bowl of powered kitten formula out or force the mother to deal with the disconfort of feeding of course you should give the mother a treat after.

It’s always best if you can coax the mother inside to take care of the kitten. She needs her mother’s milk. There are ways to take care of her yourself if the mother refuses to budge, though.
