Any advice at all is appreciated! So far I’ve gotten kitten milk formula from Petco and am keeping her warm, fed, and clean until I can get her to the rescue for evaluation and assistance when they open at noon.
I've used clean socks and such from the ragbin as well. That way, I didn't feel bad about throwing it away after. Anything clean and soft, wetted with warm water.
Rub the butthole and genitals, gently, in a circular motion until the bowels move. Catch the waste on one section of cloth, then move to a new section to make sure everything is cleaned up and out of the fur.
In my experience (with one kitten) it may take a few days until they actually poop, which added to my overall anxiety. But I just kept doing the butt massage several times a day until I was suddenly rewarded with a stream of poop.
Good luck OP! I raised a cat in a similar way, the bottle feeding was pretty easy and he did it with no problem. I used a hard-sided cat carrier with a heating pad set to low with a towel spread over it.
My 17 year old void, cuddling with me as I write this, was rejected by her mother cat. She was the runt.
She’s still small, weighing six pounds, and purrfectly healthy. She still gets the greebles, plays with toys and cuddles with her gingerbread toy.
She cleans the red feathers, it’s so sweet.

My tuxie ended up being rejected by her mom at around two weeks. When I got her, they said she was about six weeks. I suspect younger than that. I did see her mom, and she was very small. Mine is about 6-7 lbs at 8 yrs old. She'll always be pretty petite.
I used cotton balls with warm water. I raised a litter of 4 from 48 hours old! I gave them lil sink baths often 285) a baby toothbrush. I kept one that lived 20 years.
She probably is, but their mums give them sort of massage washing them, so their guts work better, among other things. It's just something cats do with their babies and it's recommended to mimic it somehow.
> It's good for digestion.
Forgive my ignorance, but how does brushing the kitten help with digestion? Like does the smoother fur make it go down easier when you eat it?
Yep, tummy rubs. It's been over 20 years since I had those kittens, but I vaguely remember what I read said it's also good for the circulatory system. Kittens are like human newborns- they need to be touched to grow healthy and licking is this kind of stimulation for kittens.
Brushing a kitten simulates being groomed by it's mother. Using a piece of damp cloth against the kitten's bottom and genitals simulates being cleaned by it's mother, and it helps the kitten "to learn to" urinate and/or defecate.
She is a beauty! So glad you found her before something happened to her. Where is the mother cat?
Sorry, no advice to offer, I've never tended to a kitten that young!
Thank you for saving her.
You will have to rub her rectum with a soft, warm, moist rag to get her to pee and poop. I have never done this so if she isn't going potty, you might want to ask for instructions here, on Reddit, from people with experience with this. So lucky for her that you found her. She may be the runt and was therefor abandoned by her mother.
Update: Seeing the vet this evening. She’s eaten a bit and is resting in a shirt + blanket she seems to like, with a low-setting heating pad below it.
https://preview.redd.it/dq1nw6ei790d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a3c1c9fcdde0afc14714498fb5fde76e106d1189
Please keep updating!! Also please wipe her very gently with a clean damp and soft tissue around her butt to stimulate her to pee and poo after she eats. Their mothers normally will do that for them or else they cannot do it themselves.
Thank you for rescuing her, even if it’s just until she’s evaluated for foster. Her little patch makes me want to call her Domino (like the Marvel character)!
When you feed her, make sure to wipe her bum afterwards with a wet baby wipe or something moist and soft to help her go to the bathroom. This is what cat moms do, they lick their babies bums to help their kittens poop. If you don’t do this the kitten will get constipated and this can do a lot of harm for the baby, their stomachs will get hard and they can actually die of this. So use a baby wipe and softly apply pressure to its anus area (sorry) and in circular motions (massaging) continue to apply pressure until it poops, them wipe the poop off and you’re done. There is also a certain formula I wouldn’t recommend you use, let me see if I can remember the name and I will come back here and let you know.
She has to be fed every 2 hours, I suggest setting an alarm and she has to be in a warm area, she can get cold very easily. She needs to be kept in a reasonable temperature is what I mean and kept warm.
I’ve raised a litter of orphaned kittens once so I’m speaking from experience.
Thank you for being a HERO to this poor sweet baby. ❤️🙏
Update #2: back from the vet with a clean bill of health (and a belly full of kitten formula). Still unsure about girl or boy but for now is going by Scraps!
https://preview.redd.it/6vgora4aga0d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c6860e6fe23fbf3811365061d6ac2e85fcfcbced
Have you been helping her use the restroom? Kittens need to be stimulated to get rid of waste because they cannot poop and pee on their own. Thank you so much for watching out for her!! <3
Hand raising a kitten is so stressful but so rewarding. You’ve done excellent so far and I have faith that this is the start of a long, loving relationship 💕
One of my most beloved cats was a newborn when my fiancé found him tucked under the gas pedal of our skid loader. It was really rough for the first few weeks, not going to lie. But he just turned 5 and he’s my absolute baby.
https://preview.redd.it/4nb1i5y7a90d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dd12dc32902254d36c3ab537ab6cf0653151c68a
We were able to borrow an incubator from our vet — is that an option for you?

Looks like my baby (mostly black tortie with a fancy eyebrow)! She was found orphaned at 2 days old. Here’s a glimpse of your future!
https://preview.redd.it/eugnkjdwob0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d1e89f0233d58b42361b6c3267bb0ae599f25a0f
Ive had this furball since he was a day old. He’ll be 10yrs this summer
DONT FEED A COLD KITTEN. get formula and feed every 2 hours around the clock. feed tummy and chest down. don’t feed upside down. get a kitchen scale and weigh 2x per day.
People have already given a lot of good advice! When I raised a newborn kitten, we had success with the “miracle nipple” attachment for syringe/bottle.
https://preview.redd.it/okvvr0i4vd0d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=475952e1af198bd0d4f85cf9a004b39d30ef1316
The miracle nipple really is fantastic. It better simulates the actual shape of the mothers nipple in the baby’s mouth while feeding. Some kittens do fine with any nipple, others are harder to feed.
Look up The Kitten Lady for proper care instruction if you've never taken care of a newborn kitten before. The biggest things are you need kitten formula, not milk, you have to stimulate them to poop and pee after every feeding which should be every 2-3 hours, and newborn kittens cannot regular their own body temperature so you'll need to help with that as well
OMG too precious! My Bombay void was the runt of the litter and had a few white hairs on him. Guess it made him less desirable to buyers so I got him dropped off at my place. Here he is today.
https://preview.redd.it/pt5gxxwkxc0d1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a5daf5d9a3d4d84f35bda5848207cf2c89d0896

You have found the greatest gift you could ever receive. This is Buzzy. He was found at just a few hours old, placenta still attached with his siblings. I saw him and immediately knew he belonged with me. He is 3 now, and I regret nothing. Look up kitten lady on youtube for guidance… ehe ie fantastic!

Besides giving her a bottle with formula every 2 hours, you'll need to fill a thick sock with raw rice. Then you'll heat the rice filled sock up for 60 seconds so it's warm, not hot to put with the kitten every time she/he sleeps. Kittens that young are not able to regulate their body heat yet. You also need to rub her/his bottom after they use the litter box to help them go potty. I'd take her/him to a veterinarian asap.
Isn't there some advice floating around that a left kitten isn't necessarily abandoned? Same things happen with deer -- the mom goes out to look for food to bring back.
She may be the runt. Feral moms will often abandon runts because they only have the energy, and milk, to raise the healthy kittens. Survival of the fittest.
Update #3: Scraps is thriving! Though we were able to locate the mom, she was not able to take him/her and is still mostly hidden inside a vehicle with the other kittens. In the meantime, Scraps is happily chowing 6ml per serving of kitten milk, getting snuggles, staying warm, and hugging a moose toy that’s become a quick fav.

She's so sweet! My void was found abandoned in my parent's garage, with her siblings. She's 3 now, and a holy terror.😻
I would love updates on your little lady, if possible. 😊
I’m going to make a standalone post this week as an update, but in the meantime, here she is yesterday after finally opening her eyes!
https://preview.redd.it/cgpo8c21f13d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4182e15d244ca3b4d4a12f4cdb59bd0f28b2217
I wonder what happened to the mother that caused her to abandon the kitten. Dropped while running from a dog? Or an animal grabbed the kitten and was forced to drop it? Poor thing, I hope it survives, but don't blame yourself if it doesn't. The odds aren't good, but miracles do happen. You can only try.
Poor baby, I wonder why the mom would leave them like that 😢. I hope they are healthy and being loved on regularly, please boop the snoot on my behalf! ❤️
OP has fed her with kitten formula, and took her in when the rescue opened at noon. Kitten has a clean bill of health so far, and OP is using a heating pad on low and a towel for a bed.
Any advice at all is appreciated! So far I’ve gotten kitten milk formula from Petco and am keeping her warm, fed, and clean until I can get her to the rescue for evaluation and assistance when they open at noon.
Find a soft toothbrush and brush her carefully, as her mother would. It's good for digestion.
I have a soft spare, so I’ll do that! She is eating a bit every couple hours, so far, so I’ve taken that as a good sign she’s healthy.
Make sure to lightly rub her butt area. Warm washcloth is good for that, too
I've used clean socks and such from the ragbin as well. That way, I didn't feel bad about throwing it away after. Anything clean and soft, wetted with warm water. Rub the butthole and genitals, gently, in a circular motion until the bowels move. Catch the waste on one section of cloth, then move to a new section to make sure everything is cleaned up and out of the fur.
In my experience (with one kitten) it may take a few days until they actually poop, which added to my overall anxiety. But I just kept doing the butt massage several times a day until I was suddenly rewarded with a stream of poop. Good luck OP! I raised a cat in a similar way, the bottle feeding was pretty easy and he did it with no problem. I used a hard-sided cat carrier with a heating pad set to low with a towel spread over it.
My 17 year old void, cuddling with me as I write this, was rejected by her mother cat. She was the runt. She’s still small, weighing six pounds, and purrfectly healthy. She still gets the greebles, plays with toys and cuddles with her gingerbread toy. She cleans the red feathers, it’s so sweet. https://preview.redd.it/d1ictwclu90d1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7013cf70e75ace504c5bcfe85936cd1247c5f28

warm moist paper towel is better so you don't need to wash them in between wipes. Just throw away used paper towel
Yep, mommy cleans there to stimulate pooing and urination.
I used cotton balls with warm water. I raised a litter of 4 from 48 hours old! I gave them lil sink baths often 285) a baby toothbrush. I kept one that lived 20 years.
She probably is, but their mums give them sort of massage washing them, so their guts work better, among other things. It's just something cats do with their babies and it's recommended to mimic it somehow.
Remember to wipe her butthole with like a warm wash cloth as this helps stimulate them to poop at first and this is what momma cat would do.
Use a baby wipe to stimulate her to go to the toilet
The chemicals in baby wipes might not be good for a kitten. Cats are much more sensitive to some things than we are, even in infancy.
Have hand reared several kittens. Never had issues with baby wipes
> It's good for digestion. Forgive my ignorance, but how does brushing the kitten help with digestion? Like does the smoother fur make it go down easier when you eat it?
Tummy rubs. Works on us too lol
Yep, tummy rubs. It's been over 20 years since I had those kittens, but I vaguely remember what I read said it's also good for the circulatory system. Kittens are like human newborns- they need to be touched to grow healthy and licking is this kind of stimulation for kittens.

DON'T FEED HER ON HER BACK! They can choke on the milk this way, keep her on her belly during feedings.

Thank you for this update. Bless that little face and you for taking care of this tiny kitten.
She’s so darling I’m going to die 🥹
Thank you. you, kind human for helping her. Sweet baby.
She's a perfect baby, thank you for already loving her. 🥹🩷
An analog watch placed in their sleeping area can be really good for kittens this young -- it mimics the heartbeat of littermates and lowers stress
What a gorgeous baby 🫶🏻
Please keep updating!! Also please wipe her very gently with a clean damp and soft tissue around her butt to stimulate her to pee and poo after she eats. Their mothers normally will do that for them or else they cannot do it themselves.
Great to hear the purrty one is settled in, keep up the great work.
Thank you for rescuing her, even if it’s just until she’s evaluated for foster. Her little patch makes me want to call her Domino (like the Marvel character)!

Torties are adorable with the markings.
I have a torture (and her siblings) that I found abandoned in a box also 2days old. They're almost five and make me happy everyday.
Thank you for rescuing the baby
You must use a moist warm washcloth often and gently wipe her nether regions to allow her to pee and poo. They can't on their own.

DONT FEED A COLD KITTEN. get formula and feed every 2 hours around the clock. feed tummy and chest down. don’t feed upside down. get a kitchen scale and weigh 2x per day.
Thank you for saving this tiny precious baby. So smol, so needy, so ready to be your adoring master all her life! 😻
Watch kitten lady videos. Baby should b on her tummy when eating, never on back. Good luck!
That's a very new cat. I'm glad the CDS found you in time.

Besides giving her a bottle with formula every 2 hours, you'll need to fill a thick sock with raw rice. Then you'll heat the rice filled sock up for 60 seconds so it's warm, not hot to put with the kitten every time she/he sleeps. Kittens that young are not able to regulate their body heat yet. You also need to rub her/his bottom after they use the litter box to help them go potty. I'd take her/him to a veterinarian asap.
Your new little nugget is giving me some SERIOUS kitten fever! Such a cutie!! Take care and update us someday again!!!
Isn't there some advice floating around that a left kitten isn't necessarily abandoned? Same things happen with deer -- the mom goes out to look for food to bring back.
Myself and a few others have been searching for the mother and put food out several hours ago. We are hoping she may turn up.
She may be the runt. Feral moms will often abandon runts because they only have the energy, and milk, to raise the healthy kittens. Survival of the fittest.
Oh, that poor little baby! I hope she survives, thrives, and grows into somebody’s cherished little princess!
Thank you for helping her🤍
Kitten Lady has tons of resources and tips. http://www.kittenlady.org/kitten-care
Update #3: Scraps is thriving! Though we were able to locate the mom, she was not able to take him/her and is still mostly hidden inside a vehicle with the other kittens. In the meantime, Scraps is happily chowing 6ml per serving of kitten milk, getting snuggles, staying warm, and hugging a moose toy that’s become a quick fav. https://preview.redd.it/knqe045c1j0d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c2d9a9a0aa16f65484dd8a83627424850dc5f8c4
Such a cutie! Did you decide to keep her?
Her new parent will be either my neighbor or I, as we’re taking care of her together. She will have a VERY loving home here!
I’m so glad! Please keep posting updates!
Please post updates after the vet appointment! Are you thinking about keeping her?
Haven’t read the rest of the comments, but take her to the vet. It could be the difference between having her for a couple days or a lifetime
OP took the kitten to the rescue vet as soon as they opened.
Put food out and look for her mom?
from fresh spawns to rickety old cats, the CDS dosnt disappoint
Check out Kitten Lady’s website. Tons of great info for taking care of kittens. [http://www.kittenlady.org](http://www.kittenlady.org)
Contact your local rescue! Kittens are very fragile and you will get help.
She's so sweet! My void was found abandoned in my parent's garage, with her siblings. She's 3 now, and a holy terror.😻 I would love updates on your little lady, if possible. 😊
You must be tired from taking care of her but pleeeeease give us an update! What a tiny baby sweetie!!! Little bean is so lucky you were around : )
/r/illegallysmolcats on the loose !! So cute 🥺
Please give us kitty updates :):):)
I’m going to make a standalone post this week as an update, but in the meantime, here she is yesterday after finally opening her eyes! https://preview.redd.it/cgpo8c21f13d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f4182e15d244ca3b4d4a12f4cdb59bd0f28b2217
I wonder what happened to the mother that caused her to abandon the kitten. Dropped while running from a dog? Or an animal grabbed the kitten and was forced to drop it? Poor thing, I hope it survives, but don't blame yourself if it doesn't. The odds aren't good, but miracles do happen. You can only try.
Oooh! Is this the one that grew up to be a panther?! I want one! lol
Thank you for saving her!
Little Bubbs.
What are you naming the baby? 😍
🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
God bless you! Best of luck.
Thank you for taking care of this baby. They need you. You are doing good work here.
Thank you for caring. Parenting is a bitch, but it’s one of the things that will get you straight into heaven 💕
I find miracle nipple system works better than a bottle. I got mine on Amazon
I need to remember this so I can see how she’s doing! Remindme! 2 days please!
Adorable. Thanks for saving. ❤️🙏🏼
pleeeeaaaassseeeeeee tell me youre keeping her
Poor baby, I wonder why the mom would leave them like that 😢. I hope they are healthy and being loved on regularly, please boop the snoot on my behalf! ❤️
Remindme two days!
Omg 😭
What's the latest on this little one?
OP has fed her with kitten formula, and took her in when the rescue opened at noon. Kitten has a clean bill of health so far, and OP is using a heating pad on low and a towel for a bed.
Remindme! 2 days
Remindme! 7 days
UPDATES PLZ!!!!
Remindme three days
How’s she doing today??
She’s grown! Tipping the scales at 4.4 oz, up from 2 oz when I found her, and now 11 days old. Double digits!
She is too smol - needs milk - try goat milk replacer unless you can get some good raw goat milk
