How to take care of 4 day old kitten?
Hello, First and foremost, I want to acknowledge your kindness for taking in the little orphaned kitten. It is a very huge task but at the end, the reward far outweigh the hard work. I am going to address your question thoroughly, even though you have already performed some of the important steps. Now, you need to set up a comfortable nesting box for the kitten. Find a hard and sturdy card box, lined it with old towels or clothes and shredded newspaper. Newborn cannot regulate their body heat so it is very important to keep them warm. You can fill a bottle with hot water, wrap a towel around it and place it in the nesting box. Or, you can use some uncooked rice, fill it into a sock, and zap it in the microwave for about 30 seconds. Make sure to check the temperature so it is not too hot and can burn the delicate kittens. Caution must also be use when using a heating pad as indicated. Set it on low and cover it with a thick towel and make sure the kitten does not lie directly on the pad
