Yeah. There were a number of pits at the local rescue that had been shredded by cats. It was interesting to see that some little ball of fluff could shred the shit out of a big, muscular dog's face quickly enough to send the dog reeling without any serious damage to the cats.

PS. When did Olds become the ultimate troll?

Hmm damn, I'm not entirely sure what you would feed it.

You're going to have to go to a pet store and see if there is any kitten formula.

And be ready to feed it about 15 times a day.

call a vet.

That kitten couldn't have gotten far, are you sure you just 'found' it?

I feed ferals and the kittens didn't start eating the food I put out for the adults until much later than that 'look'.

It's going to be a lot of work and you may have some behavioral problems even if it survives. To litter train it you will have to do a lot of work as well.

most cats can't process any kind of milk as an adult.

Cow milk is a poor choice for most pet babies though.

you can use your tongue if you did it in private.

Added crappy Pic to the OP.
Careful with a heating pad, some of those things can get pretty toasty, even on the low setting.

They might take to raw milk. My mom started buying raw cow milk, and she's given it to our cat, around 16 years old, and she has no problem with it.
She will barf up regular homogenized, pasteurized milk though.

But a kitten that young is probably going to need something very similar to cat milk.


Might you know anyone who owns a female cat? Maybe she'd be willing to adopt it, though I don't know how well that sort of thing works.

Go to your local pet supply store, PetSmart, Petco, Pet Supplies Plus or whatever is in your area and look for something called KMR. There's another brand that IIRC is called Mother's Milk, either will do. You'll also need a bottle, it will come with a nipple so you don't need to buy any seperate. Fill the bottle with a couple ounces of the KMR and use a heated safety pin to melt a hole in the top of the nipple. Don't bother with trying to cut an opening with scissors, it doesn't work very well. Just bottle feed the kitten, probably every hour or so. And for litter, do not buy any clumping style litter. That stuff isn't even the greatest for adult cats. The kitten should already have the litter pan figured out, cats are surprisingly good at that. Yes, you will have to stimulate it to get it to use the pan. Just wet some toilet paper with warm water and wipe. The mother does that after feeding. Keep him warm too, but put a towel over the heating pad. Heating pads can get a little too hot. Cats also like to be secluded so if you have a box handy, put it on it's side and put the heating pad/towel in there. That's all there is to it.

And if/when you take it to a shelter, take it to a no kill shelter if you can. Kittens get adopted quite fast regardless of which shelter they end up in, but with a no kill place their chances are even better.

Why don't you take it to a safe shelter. They usually have moma cats that will take them under their wings.

My girlfriend and I tried taking care of a stray kitten last week but we had to get it put to sleep. It seemed lively at first but it was all skin and bone and didn't want to eat much. We took it to the vet and they did tests for parasites which came up negative. After a day or two it looked wobbly and couldn't stand up. We tried giving it sugar water but that didn't seem to help. It eventually went limp but was still alive. We took it to the vet and there was nothing they could do so they had to put it down. They said that they see it often in young strays. It sounds like without the mother cat that instinctively knows what the kitten needs the kitten often dies even if you tried feeding it.
