It is the problem of long -term feeding. The best way is to help them find a cat adoptive mother. But before putting the orphan cats with another kitten, it is necessary to determine that they have no fatal infectious disease. However, the cat's mother can't feed too many kittens, and too many kittens will make the mother's nutrition unable to keep up. Generally speaking, his kitten is more willing to raise orphan cats by cat mothers for less than two weeks. After two weeks, the cat's mother may be reluctant, and it may be too large because the size of the kitten is too large, and the small cat is pushed or pressed under the body by other kittens. Cat adoptive mothers are often difficult to find. If they can't find it, they need to be fed artificially. The orphan cats are fragile. Feeding them must invest a lot of energy and need carefully care.
The detailed description of how to manually feed the orphan cats:
1, cat nest
To the wind of the wind. You can use a carton, a disinfected cat cage, laundry basket, etc., pad a towel or blanket, and need a heat source to keep warm for the kitten, because the kitten cannot adjust its body temperature before 4 weeks. This heat source can be electric blanket, hot water bottle, or heating electric light. Don't let the heat source be too close to the kitten to avoid burning them, and the heat source should be in the corner of the cat's nest, so that the kitten moves to the nest when it is too hot. The temperature changes in the cat's nest should be from 32-34 ° C (the hottest place) to 24-27 ° C on the other side. When the kitten is 4 weeks old, the external environment can remain around 24 ° C. If there are several nest kittens, you may not need to let the cat's nest look as hot as one or two kittens, because they can warm up themselves.
The humidity is about 50 % to prevent dehydration. If you are too dry, you can spray a little water outside the cat's nest, or put an air humidifier.
. It is best not to let the kittens under 3 weeks be exposed directly to the sun.
2. Basic care
It if the kitten has eaten some milk from the mother, it can survive Immunity. If the kitten has not eaten first milk, they are more likely to die. Maintaining hygiene is particularly important.
The precautions for hygiene
1) Do not let orphan cats come into contact with other pets (even if these pets have immune to the needle). The kitten wants for at least 14 days and it is not enough to be fatal infectious. Orphan cats are likely to have various germs and parasites. 2) Do not raise several nest kittens together. 3) Wash and disinfect the food tools with boiling water, cat nest mats and cat towels. 4) Washing your hands with sterilized soap every time you touch the kitten. 5) The cat milk cannot be saved for more than 24 hours. Cat milk that is not used for the moment should be stored in the refrigerator. 6) Cat milk placed at room temperature should not exceed 1 hour, and it cannot be fed to the kitten after exceeding. 7) Only heated the amount of feeding once and heat it in hot water. It is best not to use a microwave oven (if a microwave oven, shake the hot milk for a while, so that there may be very hot milk in the milk. spread).
3, feeding
frequency 0-2 weeks of kittens, feed once every 2-3 hours, feed once at night 2-3 weeks Kitten, feed every 4 hours, do not feed at night, but the feeding interval cannot exceed 6 hours 4-6 weeks of kittens, feed every 6 hours, do not feed at night. They can insist on not feeding for 8-10 hours, and they should eat some cat food by themselves. You can open the supply of cat food to them.
It feeding kittens to prevent kittens from being too low in body temperature, but if it is too frequent, the milk in the stomach has been unable to empty, which will cause milk fermentation to cause flatulence, which is also bad.
Cat milk powder
It recommended cat milk alternatives -cat milk powder, these cat milk powder is based on the energy formula required for the normal growth of the kitten. Give the amount required. All the rinse milk should be heated to 35-38 ° C in hot water before feeding the kitten (if a microwave oven is used, the milk bottle should be shaken after the heat is good, because the microwave oven is not uniform, it will produce hot spots. The hot -hot milk will be burned). If you want to know if the temperature of the milk is appropriate, you can drop a drop on the inside of your wrist. If you don't feel or feel slightly warm, the temperature is appropriate.
If you can't buy cat milk powder for a while, you can temporarily use the alternative of the following formula: 180ml whole milk (better goat milk) 2 egg yolk (not protein) 1/2 teaspoon (TSP) vegetable oil 1 drops of children's vitamins The stirry with hot water to heated to 35-38 ° C.
Cat food
The cats have to eat milk for four weeks. You can mix the cat milk from the canned cat food in the fourth week and place it in a shallow plate and heat it to the micro -temperature (if you use a microwave oven to heated, it only takes a few seconds to stir well after heating, because the microwave oven is not uniform) Let them try and get used to the taste of cats, and slowly eat them from the pot. Gradually reduce cat milk to increase the cat. A week later, you can add warm and dry kitten food to the pot, and gradually stop adding cat milk to the bowl, and reduce the cat milk in the bottle until there is no. When the kitten is six weeks old, they should eat kitten food and drink water from the bowl. This process must be advanced, don't be too anxious. (Bingzi added: Do not give the kitten too much cat basin. Experience proves that kittens often treat excessive cats as cat toilets, stool or urinating inside, or stand directly in the cat bowl to eat. )
In drinking water from the basin
When the kittens are four or five weeks old, they should drink water from the basin. Provide them with a short but heavy plate, so that the kitten can stand inside and not overwhelm the dish. Try to put the discs in the corner and have a distance from the food basin. At the beginning, you can apply it with your fingers to its nose and receive it to put it in a basin. Because it has begun to eat from the basin at this time, it should be learned to drink water from the pot.
The feeding method
No matter which method you use to feed, the most important thing is not to let milk flow into the kitten's lungs. With the kitten's belly with your hand, let it stand in a piercing posture and raise its head slightly.
1) Feed with a spoon
This is a very slow way to take a lot of patience. Slowly pour the milk in the spoon into the kitten's mouth. It's too fast, so as not to flow into the kitten . You can't lift the kitten's head too high, otherwise it will be fed in the lungs. The new kitten did not develop well, and when the milk was fed to the lungs, there would be no sadness at the time. Suitable for a kitten that is weak and not sucking by itself.
2) Drip milk with injection
is similar to feeding with a spoon. It is suitable for weak cats and does not suck them by themselves, but it is relatively clean and faster. Put the kitten quantitative milk in the needle tube, put it in the cat's mouth, and drop a drop at a time, so that the kitten can swallow it calmly instead of being pinched. Read the amount of each feeding. If the kitten knows the milk comes from here, it may start to wash the head of the needle and suck the milk. At this time, you'd better be able to feed it with a bottle.
3) Feed with breast bottles
healthy and breast -absorbing kittens like to use breast bottles. This is also a more natural feeding method. The kitten will eat it by themselves. Essence The size of the nipples is important. You need to cut a hole yourself. If the hole is too large, the milk will flow out of the hole one after another, which will allow the kitten to breathe into the lungs when breathing. If you need to squeeze the bottle to let the milk flow out, the Kong is too small, which will make the kitten eat hard and laborious, and not eat enough.
4) The mealing pipe is fed
is the easiest, cleanest, and fastest, but it requires appropriate tools and skilled skills to avoid pouring milk into the lungs. If the kitten is very weak, sometimes you can only feed like this.
each time after feeding, it is best to wipe the kitten's mouth with a warm wet paper towel, and wipe the leaking milk. Don't feed too much at a time, especially at the beginning. After feeding, imitate the kitten body by hand or dry towels, or gently pat the side of the kitten until it snores.
r
The food scale that is precise to "gram" is useful. It can be used to call the kitten's weight every day to ensure that they are growing in health. The birth weight of the kitten is about 90-120 grams. The weight between the first and second week should increase to twice the weight of birth, and it should be three times the birth weight in the third and fourth week. It should be increased by 10-13 grams a day.
The reference to this:
The ideal ambient temperature (degree Celsius) of the kitten age (degree Celsius) The number of breastfeeding daily feed ideal weight 0-1 week 29.4-32.2 6 per 100 Grand weight fed 13-15ml 90-120 grams (birth) 1-2 Week 26.7-29.4 5 per 100 grams of body weight 15-18ml 170-230 grams (week) 2-3 week 23.9-26.7 4 4每100克体重喂20ML 300-350克rn3-4星期21.1-23.9 3 每100克体重喂20ML并开始吃猫粮350-400克rn4星期以上21.1 3 主要吃猫粮，有All cats eat more than 400 grams of cat food 4, defecation The kittens need to be stimulated to defecate. Use soft cloth, cotton balls, or face towels to dip the warm water to imitate the kitten part of the cat's laxative. Most of the time, the kitten will urinate and stool. You should do this every time you feed, and the kitten should have urinating every time. The stool is not necessarily every time, but if there is, the amount of the stool and texture of each stool (normal stool should be toothpaste, yellow -green like mustard). Be sure to stimulate the bowel movement to avoid constipation. (If possible, you can stimulate it once before feeding, and do it again 15 minutes after feeding).
The stimulus defecation should insist on getting the kitten for 3-4 weeks, and then you can let it learn to use the cat sand pot. At the beginning, they don't know the use of cat sand pots. You can stimulate them to defecate above the pot. When you see it, put it in the pot and let the feces in the sand pot. Most of the time, the kitten naturally realizes it, and learns to use cats. After 15 minutes of feeding, put the kitten into the sand pot and remind it to go to the toilet. The cat sand pot at the beginning should not be more than one inches (2.5cm) to facilitate the entry and exit of the kitten. Can not use cats sand, because the kitten will eat random, and the cat sands that can be knotted contain concrete -like components. If they eat it, they may block their intestines and cause big problems.
It before the kitten learns to use cat sand pots, it is best to raise a kitten at the floor that is easy to clean. If you find that the kitten always goes to the toilet in a fixed place, clean it there and put a small pot of cat sand on it, this may accelerate the training progress, because they are used to going to the toilet in that place, and the cats sand It will cause their nature. When they are accustomed to using the small sand pot, you can slowly move it to the place where you want the large cat sand pot you want to use and place them in a large basin.
If the kitten made a mistake, went to the toilet outside the cat sand pot, put its stool in the sand pot, and reminded it to be the toilet here. At the beginning of training, you can put newspapers in the place where the kitten activity is activated to prevent it.
5. Mysters that may occur during the feeding process
The common diseases of the newborn kitten are: hypoglycemia, dehydration, and low body temperature. These diseases can cause kittens to die. The signs of common kittens are: non -stop calling, not long, more and more spiritual, and softer. The kitten rarely calls. If it is often called, it means uncomfortable: too cold, hungry, sick, etc.
dehydration
has not enough water intake, diarrhea, the environmental temperature is too high or the environment is too dry, which may be dehydrated by the kitten. Find and treat early. Kitty can easily die due to dehydration.
It these two methods can diagnose whether the kitten is dehydrated:
1) Put the skin behind the kitten neck and pinch it. There is no problem. If the skin is slowly returning to the original position, or keeping your pinch, it is dehydrated.
2) Touch the cat's mouth. If it is moist, there is no problem, but if the mouth feels sticky or dry, it is dehydrated.
The best environmental humidity can be maintained at 55-65 %. If it is a very small and weak kitten, it may require 85 % -90 % humidity, but please note that if it is very humid, the environmental temperature should not exceed 90 ° F (32.2 ° C). The high temperature of 95 ° F (35 ° C) and 95 % humidity recovery have problems with the respiratory tract.
The body temperature is too low
The body temperature is too low that many kittens are killed. Kitten needs to maintain normal body temperature by relying on external heat sources. The normal body temperature from anal test is:
The first week: 95 ° -99 ° f (35 ° -37.2 ° C) 100 ° F (36.1 ° -37.7 ° C) to the fourth week, the body temperature of normal adult cats: (100-102 ° F; 37.7 ° -38.9 ° C)
If the body temperature drops below 94 ° F (34.4 ° C), the metabolism is reduced to a very dangerous level, and the warm and kitten need to be taken immediately. If a healthy kitten is slowly warmed, it can usually be saved. It's too fast to cause kittens to die. The best way is to keep your body's body temperature warm up.
During the four days when the first -born kitten started, the ambient temperature should be maintained at 85 ° -90 ° F (29.4 ° -32.2 ° C). ° F (26.7 ° C), by the end of the fourth week, to 72 ° F (22.2 ° C). If there are several kittens in a nest, the temperature does not need to be so high, because they will warm up themselves.
r
The performance is weak, convulsions, coma. If so, feed the kitten glucose. Drop a little syrup (or honey) on the tongue may make it return to life.
r
The cats fed with cat milk powder are easier to constipation, so sometimes it is necessary to feed them to drink some white water, or the ointment of the hair ball is a little bit in warm water in warm water Feed to the kitten, this can soften the stool. If you do not stool for a long time, the large intestine wall will be extended too much. Even if you finally have stools, the large intestine still cannot work normally.
diarrhea
kittens may be killed because of diarrhea. When its stool is difficult to smell, it is water -like, blood, or with vomiting, go to the doctor in time. The kitten will be dehydrated quickly. Replenish water through subcutaneous injection and feed to electrolyte nutrient water. Diarrhea may also need to take anti -inflammatory drugs for treatment.
6, social environment
kittens need to social environment to grow into friendly and outgoing cats. If you do not give the kitten social opportunity, the kitten may form some abnormal behaviors and become suspicious and aggressive adult cats.
If feeding kittens may suck other kittens and hurt the skin of the kitten. At this time you need to feed them separately and can only play together under your supervision. Most kittens do not suck other kittens when they grow up.
In three weeks, you need to give a kitten event space, but if it is a safe, easy to clean, not a large space, you cannot let it run around at the beginning Essence
The first is the problem of diet: a disposable needle tube of 5ml (removing the needle), a bicycle valve core (boiling for 15 minutes disinfection), set in the original needle, leave 1.5cm.
The baby's baby milk powder is boiled with 1: 7 ratio, add 1/4 of the mother -in -law (powder), a grain of cod liver oil (remove the rubber pill), 1/6 6 calcium tablets (powder); It's okay to get cold or hot.
In the needle tube to absorb 5ml of milk, set the valve core (this is the pacifier), pick up the kitten, let him lie down, hold the cat's chin with his left palm, make his head slightly upper upper on hold head high. Squeeze a little milk, and rub it gently with a pacifier near the cat's mouth nose, it is best to let the cat take the initiative to hold the pacifier into food. Do not advance the pipeline of the needle tube too fast, it should be intermittent, so as not to hold the kitten.
If the kitten cannot take the initiative to eat, cut the pacifier short, leave 0.5cm. Send the pacifier from the side of the cat's mouth and give it slowly. He should have swallowed reflexes. After breastfeeding, wipe the cat's mouth with a warm wet towel and wipe the dirt on the chin. Feed at least once every 3 hours, including at night, 2ml milk can be eaten at a time. As long as your cat can eat milk, I believe he can survive!
Note: Do not feed the food, do not add sugar.
The excretion problem:
Dip in warm water and gently wipe the kitten PP, which shows its urination. Keep it until clean. The urine may be slightly yellow, the feces should be yellow, thick, and no digestible milk blocks (if so, the milk is thin, reduce the amount of breastfeeding, number of times). Normally, there should be urination after each feeding, and there are not more than 4/day.
Note: Don't be too hard to wipe, dip the noodles paper to reduce the possibility of friction and cause injury.
This Cat resting problem:
The as much as possible to provide a dry, ventilated hidden place, you can use a large carton with a large hole on the side. The cotton pad inside. Put the cat in it. Note that the warmth function of the kitten is very poor, and the temperature difference between day and night may be fatal for him.
Note: It is best to accompany him and let him normally snuggle beside the person, because people and cats belong to mammals with the same temperature, which is easy to make him feel security. But don't just hug with your hands, which is not conducive to his rest.
Finally: Pay attention to hygiene. Pay attention to cleaning and disinfection of needle, pacifier, utensils for milk, small towels, etc. Milk should be eaten now and can not be stored.
How to raise and how to raise--. But pay attention to eating food, try not to feed dry food, go to the supermarket or pet shop to buy some bags, there are thin or tofu -like soft food inside. There are instructions above, you can see. There is nothing to pay attention to,
1) Try to stimulate it to help it defecate. The kitten may be painful because of urination, and it is harmful to the body for a long time. At least it should try to stimulate it to urinate.
2) Slowly warm the kitten and use your body temperature, not hot water bottle, hair dryer, etc.
3) Feed it with 5-10%glucose water or Pedialyte for an hour. Feed 2cc for each 100 grams of body weight.
4) Do not feed kittens with too low temperature! Its gastrointestinal stopping work, feeding it to milk will cause it to die.

1) Put the skin behind the kitten neck and pinch it. There is no problem. If the skin is slowly returning to the original position, or keeping your pinch, it is dehydrated.
2) Touch the cat's mouth. If it is moist, there is no problem, but if the mouth feels sticky or dry, it is dehydrated.
The best environmental humidity can be maintained at 55-65 %. If it is a very small and weak kitten, it may require 85 % -90 % humidity, but please note that if it is very humid, the environmental temperature should not exceed 90 ° F (32.2 ° C). The high temperature of 95 ° F (35 ° C) and 95 % humidity recovery have problems with the respiratory tract.
The body temperature is too low
The body temperature is too low that many kittens are killed. Kitten needs to maintain normal body temperature by relying on external heat sources. The normal body temperature from anal test is:
The first week: 95 ° -99 ° f (35 ° -37.2 ° C)
100 ° F (36.1 ° -37.7 ° C)
to the fourth week, the body temperature of normal adult cats: (100-102 ° F; 37.7 ° -38.9 ° C)
If the body temperature drops below 94 ° F (34.4 ° C), the metabolism is reduced to a very dangerous level, and the warm and kitten need to be taken immediately. If a healthy kitten is slowly warmed, it can usually be saved. It's too fast to cause kittens to die. The best way is to keep your body's body temperature warm up.
During the four days when the first -born kitten started, the ambient temperature should be maintained at 85 ° -90 ° F (29.4 ° -32.2 ° C). ° F (26.7 ° C), by the end of the fourth week, to 72 ° F (22.2 ° C). If there are several kittens in a nest, the temperature does not need to be so high, because they will warm up themselves.

The performance is weak, convulsions, coma. If so, feed the kitten glucose. Drop a little syrup (or honey) on the tongue may make it return to life.

The cats fed with cat milk powder are easier to constipation, so sometimes it is necessary to feed them to drink some white water, or the ointment of the hair ball is a little bit in warm water in warm water Feed to the kitten, this can soften the stool. If you do not stool for a long time, the large intestine wall will be extended too much. Even if you finally have stools, the large intestine still cannot work normally.
diarrhea
kittens may be killed because of diarrhea. When its stool is difficult to smell, it is water -like, blood, or with vomiting, go to the doctor in time. The kitten will be dehydrated quickly. Replenish water through subcutaneous injection and feed to electrolyte nutrient water. Diarrhea may also need to take anti -inflammatory drugs for treatment.
6, social environment
kittens need to social environment to grow into friendly and outgoing cats. If you do not give the kitten social opportunity, the kitten may form some abnormal behaviors and become suspicious and aggressive adult cats.
If feeding kittens may suck other kittens and hurt the skin of the kitten. At this time you need to feed them separately and can only play together under your supervision. Most kittens do not suck other kittens when they grow up.
In three weeks, you need to give a kitten event space, but if it is a safe, easy to clean, not a large space, you cannot let it run around at the beginning Essence
The first is the problem of diet: a disposable needle tube of 5ml (removing the needle), a bicycle valve core (boiling for 15 minutes disinfection), set in the original needle, leave 1.5cm.
The baby's baby milk powder is boiled with 1: 7 ratio, add 1/4 of the mother -in -law (powder), a grain of cod liver oil (remove the rubber pill), 1/6 6 calcium tablets (powder); It's okay to get cold or hot.
In the needle tube to absorb 5ml of milk, set the valve core (this is the pacifier), pick up the kitten, let him lie down, hold the cat's chin with his left palm, make his head slightly upper upper on hold head high. Squeeze a little milk, and rub it gently with a pacifier near the cat's mouth nose, it is best to let the cat take the initiative to hold the pacifier into food. Do not advance the pipeline of the needle tube too fast, it should be intermittent, so as not to hold the kitten.
If the kitten cannot take the initiative to eat, cut the pacifier short, leave 0.5cm. Send the pacifier from the side of the cat's mouth and give it slowly. He should have swallowed reflexes. After breastfeeding, wipe the cat's mouth with a warm wet towel and wipe the dirt on the chin. Feed at least once every 3 hours, including at night, 2ml milk can be eaten at a time. As long as your cat can eat milk, I believe he can survive!
Note: Do not feed the food, do not add sugar.
The excretion problem:
Dip in warm water and gently wipe the kitten PP, which shows its urination. Keep it until clean. The urine may be slightly yellow, the feces should be yellow, thick, and no digestible milk blocks (if so, the milk is thin, reduce the amount of breastfeeding, number of times). Normally, there should be urination after each feeding, and there are not more than 4/day.
Note: Don't be too hard to wipe, dip the noodles paper to reduce the possibility of friction and cause injury.
This Cat resting problem:
The as much as possible to provide a dry, ventilated hidden place, you can use a large carton with a large hole on the side. The cotton pad inside. Put the cat in it. Note that the warmth function of the kitten is very poor, and the temperature difference between day and night may be fatal for him.
Note: It is best to accompany him and let him normally snuggle beside the person, because people and cats belong to mammals with the same temperature, which is easy to make him feel security. But don't just hug with your hands, which is not conducive to his rest.
Finally: Pay attention to hygiene. Pay attention to cleaning and disinfection of needle, pacifier, utensils for milk, small towels, etc. Milk should be eaten now and can not be stored.
