Kandy and Baby DeeDee,
Welcome to TDKland. We are furriest feline blog around. Concats on DeeDee adopting you! Here’s the go-to information on raising a kittah:
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. Also, kits don’t digest food when they’re cold. Set up a nest for her with blankies and place a heating pad, on LOW, covered by a towel to keep her warm. Be sure she has a cool area to move to if she gets to hot. You can start making her a gruel around 5-6 weeks by mixing Goats’ milk with wet kitten food. I’m not so concerned about her not pooping because she doesn’t have that much to poop but she should be having one soon. I can’t emphasize feeding Goats’ milk to kits. It’s just about a miracle meal for kits.
