I will be taking him to the aspca to get info on shots vet and other such i just cant make it for two days. Is milk and or tuna bad in that short term?I just picked up a stray kitten and fed him milk because he seemed to be starving, Advice?
If this is a young kitten under 4 weeks, regular milk can kill him so stop. No cat food? Feed plain meat like chicken ort turkey or ham or again if this kitten is too young, get kmr from walmart or a supermarket to feed
Aspca kills cats so think about that before you go thereI just picked up a stray kitten and fed him milk because he seemed to be starving, Advice?
Go to walmart or where ever get kitten milk, and if you need a dropper they are right next to the kitten milk. The little bottle usually dont wirk a dropper is better it may be messy but it may save his life. Also if he is dirty try and clean him as gentle as possible with a damp warm rag. make sure you keep him in a towel til he is dry. and tuna may be bad id just get some normal soft cat food, not the chunky kind if he is still really little they also have some moist ';dry'; kitten food. But if your ony able to use things at home then just warm a little milk and try that putting on a tiny plate instead of a bowl may be easier for that kitten. discard if not drank within 30 minutes and use fresh again. If you absolutely have to use tuna try not to use tuna in oil and if you can mush it up in a blender. hope this helps.
Regular milk especially for small small kittens is bad because they can starve to death on cow milk you need to buy a liquid or powdered milk that is special made for kittens. make sure there are no flees on it. If they are really small they can become anemic over night and die. So make sure to give it a good look over. Also small kittens should be fed every two to three hours (about as two serenges full.
Contrary to popular belief, cats are lactose intolerant, so the milk will undoubtedly give the kitten diarrhea, which in turn can lead to a whole lot of problems, namely severe dehydration, which can kill.
If you want to feed it tuna, keep the water in, mash it all up with a fork so it is sort of like a thick tuna shake....that is your best bet for now. Good luck!
Make sure you get him:
Fresh Water [milk may give him the runs]
dry kitten show
small cans of wet kitten chow.
Then take him to the vet, and the vet will help you with the more complicated things. (shots, flea meds, neutering, etc)
Good luck with your new bundle of joy! And g-d bless you for adopting a stray.
give him lots of sleep ASAP and dry cat food. Take him to the vet to check on him and put up ';FOUND'; signs around ur neighborhood. Maybe someone is looking for it right now, and u can also check if it has any medic needs. I foudn a stray dog last week, and we found his owner just 5 or 4 days after. You gotta let the ppl know that you found the kitten.
Sounds to me like you need to hit up a dollar store.. Plus where is he gonna poo!
If you spend like five bucks or less if hit it lucky.. you can get a cheap box or bag of food.. litter box and litter. Anything left over if you are planning on turning him in.. consider it a donation and turn it over with the kitty??
Some stores sell a special formula for young kittens or puppies. Including Fred Meyers. Depending on the age of the kitten, the formula is not needed and water is fine... but if it's just an itty bitty thing, I would suggest getting the formula.
Milk tends to give cats diarrhea, so that is not recommended. Neither is tuna. Get some kitten food from the store, canned or crunchy and feed it small portions until you get to the vet.
Get a box put some dirt in it and show it to the kitty ASAP. Shots and fixing a cat is very expensive. If the cat stays indoors the most imprtant thing to do is get it fixed. Shots can come later. . .
milk is not a good idea...I would give the cat the tuna with water...and get it a small bag of cat food.
Feed it lots and lots of captin crunch they love that.
no milk just tuna and water or cooked chicken or turkey is ok to
