Need help desperately

Hi Fernando,

Welcome TDKland-we’re the furriest blog around.

I suspect your wee kitten is lonely. You’re her new purr papa and she feels safe with you and wants to be with you-all the time. To start with set up a nest for her with blankies and a shirt with your smell on it. Place a heating pad covered by a towel to keep her warm and make sure the heating pad is set on low. If you don’t have a heating pad use warm water bottles. Be sure she has a cool area to move to if she gets to hot. Give her a soft toy to snuggle with in her nest. Kittens don’t digest food when they’re cold. All of these actions will give her confidence and reassurance.

TDKers swear by Goats’ milk. There is the liquid in the dairy aisle and the concentrate in the baking aisle. The concentrate is mixed 1:1 with water. You give this to her in a bottle with an appropriate opening. If she’s chewing on the nipple then she’s not getting enough to eat. Again, cats are lactose intolerant and Goats’ milk is low in lactose. It should settle her tummy and give nutrients and probiotics. You can start making her a gruel around 5-6 weeks by mixing Goats’ milk with wet kitten food.

The stress of a new life is a factor in her pooping. Put her in her nest and stay with her until she’s settles down. Set up a litter pan that’s low to the ground. Get some non-clumping, unscented litter. Kittens like to play in the litter and can eat the litter. The clumping kind can clump in her tummy. Pick up some enzymatic cleaner and use it on the areas where she has pooped. This will get rid of the odor and she won’t want to use that spot again. 15 after every time she eats put her in the litter pan. Be gentle but persistent. She’ll figure it out.

Here’s a couple of links on abandoned kits:

Also, get a cat bed and place it in the bed with you. She will be much happier if she can be near you. Just make sure you don’t roll over on the kitten and smother her. That’s why I mention putting her in a cat bed of her own up by your head, where it’s safer for her.

Can we see a pic? And what did you name her? I have a new kitten as well. She is 5 weeks.

It is a learning time for us as well. Also found on side of road. Good luck and I am so happy she found a living forever home.

Awe. She is adorable. She looks like my DeeDee. I have a thread on here either pix and updates on her. Check it out and keep us posted on that sweetheart.

Yes. Our vet said she is around 5 weeks.

Your wee kit is adorable! She’s looking at you as if you’re an unfinished work i.e. fully trained cat slave, purrson. The Egyptian goddess Bastet represents cats, home, fire, music, dance and some Bacchanalia. It sounds like your wee partay grrrl is living up to her namesake.

It is difficult to ignore them when they want to play at night but I’ve got my gang to understand no play when mom’s sleeping. Of course, I often wake up with toys on my pillow or bed. 😉

Thanks for the picture and I don’t care about the background just your Bastet.

Hang around and join the gang!

Oh my ! ! What a wee sweetie Bastet is. I am guessing that by now she has totally stolen your heart. 🙂
It sounds like the two of you are on the way to a life long cat & staff relationship. 😆
The biting could be because she is teething, she will need something like a chew toy or even a cardboard box for her to chew on and shred in the case of the box. My Shadz chewed through a good size brown cardboard box and we had bits of box all over for a short time but it did save on chewed body parts.

Wee Bastet is quite the model too. I’m glad you’re settling into a life together. You should submit her as The Daily Kitten. The link is at the top under Add your kitten.
