Hello
I have just taken into my care four orphaned kittens. Their mother has been killed in a road accident, they are 3 – 4 weeks old. I just want some general advice.
I am in a country where it is hard to get supplies and I don’t have access to a vet.
I have provided them with a warm box to sleep in at night. I bought them a litter tray which they are using. I could not get kitten milk formula, so am mixing egg yolks with coffee creamer (a man in a pet shop said it has lots of fat in it and is a good substitute). They are enjoying that. I also bought kitten biscuits which say they are for 4 week olds. They are quite crunchy and they seem to be struggling to eat them.
Some children live in a flat above me and are feeding them pouches of kitten food which say they are for 2-month olds. I can’t stop them doing this – I don’t speak their language and the mother cat was theirs. Some of the kittens have diarrhoea.
All the kittens seem very happy – running around and playing, and very affectionate. Is there anything else I can do to help them? Any dietary advice would be so appreciated.
Thanks
