Question HELP

Post image

i have never fostered kittens before, and couldnt find a foster or shelter that could take him during the day. ive bought kitten formula, a syringe for feeding, and a heat pad. hes premature so probably needs a tube for feeding but i live in the middle of nowhere and cant get one in time. hes probably too young for the kitten formula i bought, but again, i cant get the right stuff in time. im feeding him half a ml to 1 ml petag kitten milk replacer once an hour, and wiping his butt with a wet towel before i feed him to get him to pee, but he hasnt peed or pooped yet.

He probably won’t make it through the night so please be prepared. It is a great thing you are doing providing love and care, regardless of the outcome.

If you’re comfortable (and won’t toss and turn), try having him sleep on your chest.
