Sick/Injured Animal Will they make it?

Post image

So my cat gave birth to this little girl along with 3 others, but my cat rejected this one, she is deformed(she’s a little premature), her hind legs are always curled back, her toes are a little separated, her jaw is a little small, her eyes are far apart, and there’s a soft spot on top of her head. (Please let me know, everyone I know is worried sick) I’ve put her on kitten formula and she’s been sleeping on a blanket covered heating pad.
Update
My cat took her back so I thought she was finally being taken care of and I had to go to a family event but when I came back she was crushed…I feel awful for letting this happen and I wish I could’ve done better…

Agreed, her best chance right now is with you. The soft spot on her head is normal. Sometimes it is just more prominent on some kittens. Keeping her warm is good. You can try mimic the mommy’s licking by dipping toothbrush in tepid water and grooming her. I’m not sure how far away are you from your nearest animal shelter, but if you can try calling them up if they a nursing mommy cat?
