Kittens + Food = Happy

Today I found three kittens in our shed… they are about two weeks old, their eyes just opening.. so I desided to take them into the house (dont want more stray cats running about).. figured I’d take them to a shelter in the morning. so untill then is there anything I can feed them? I do not have powdered kitten formula.. but I do have Kid (goat) formula.. any chance that will work? if not, is there anything else I could use?

Answer #1

What about their mommy? Maybe she’s coming back for them! I think she needs to go to the shelter too and be fixed so she won’t make another litter in a shed. If she comes back soon, she’ll take care of them. Its cool you happen to have formula for them.

(I hope this is a no-kill shelter. I’m telling myself a person with goat formula who saves baby kitties would only bring them to a no-kill shelter.)

Answer #2

goats milk will work until you get them to a shelter, or until you can get kitten milk. kittens mothers usually lick the kittens stomach to stimualte them and help them digest their food and do their business so rub a cloth gently on their stomachs after feedin they are very young so place a hot water bottle under a blanket to keep the heat. good luck, let me know how they go!x

Answer #3

You can feed them that. Or you could make some mashed potatoes and feed them.
