Ok, well first, take the kitten in and keep it warm. You should find a nice laundry basket or box and put lots of blankets and towels in it. Put the kitten in the box and let it rest, as soon as possible go to a pet store, or Wal*Mart, and in the pet section there is milk in a can that is made for kittens that you have to bottle feed. Either use a baby bottle(not reccomened because it can be too big) or else go to the pet store and find a bottle for kittens. When you get home, take the kitten, very gently, lightly use your fingers and hold up its head a bit and take your other hand with your thumb and your pointer finger, very gently push on the part of the jaw bone that moves(where the two parts of the jaw top and bottom meet like on the side if you push by your mouth you can feel your jaw move up and down.) and lightly push up until its mouth starts to open. Take the bottle and put it in its mouth, but not too far and squeeze the bottle very lightly until a couple drops come out and the kitten tastes it,if she starts coughing take the bottle out right away and let her get it down. (Dont ever force it down, and dont keep her head up to much she could choke) then hopefully she will take it and keep sucking. You must do these actions very gently or else you could harm the kitten, when shes done eating put her back in the box and pet her. Watch for accidents, you can't train kittens to use the box this early. So if she does go on the blankets, just talk to the kitten. And wash the sheets. She can't see the mess. but she will know its uncomfortable to lay in a puddle of her own mess. if it gets on her, take a washcloth. a warm one. not hot not cold, just warm enough. skin warm and wring it and wipe her off, and if you have dogs, don't dare keep the kitten near the dogs, even if they like cats. The kitten cant walk yet and if the dog tried something she wouldnt be able to get away. After a while take the kitten to the vet to get checked out to make she is disease free and too see how old she is. If your lucky you will proboly get to keep her.hope i helped email me if u can and tell me how she is doing pleez cats are my life

The kitten needs to be bottle-fed. If you can't, call a vet. They sometimes know of a cat that just gave birth. The mother cat will kind of adopt the new kitten and feed it along with the rest.

After Feeding It, Warm a paper towel, and wipe its Behind So it can pee or poop. As A Mother Cat Would Help the kitten do the same. And Our Kitten. Is Now Healthy, And Still Alive. Hope This Helped!! Good Luck
