maybe a bottle with warm milk in it.

you could try to dropper feed it kitten formula that pet stores sell, if you cant take care of it , if its feral cat ( one born outside in the wild, ) probably a better idea would be take it to the pound since they can carry diseases like feline leukemia , rabies, and such

Well a baby kitten is very time consuming... I would take her to a vet asap in the morning.. they will give you directions on how to care for her.. and possibly the name of some people or organizations who can take the kitten and care for it.

Do not take it to a shelter - they will euthenize it, since it's under 1.5 lbs. Call your vet in the morning. You need to get a kitten bottle and Kitten Milk Replacement (KMR) and you have to warm the milk (WARM not hot)Put the kitten on a warm heating pad. You will also have to stimulate the kitten's genitals with a cotton ball with warm water - every 2-4 hours til it's eyes open. You also have to bathe the kitten daily to avoid urine burn (use children's tearless baby shampoo.)CALL YOUR VET!!

You could take her to the local vet or animal pound. You could get kitten milk at your local walmart and they have the bottles and everything.

I know that you can go to any pet store and buy a nursing bottle. Ask your local vet,but I raised two kittens from that stage giving them goat's milk. Just like human infants they will want a feeding every few hours. They were happy and healthy. Hope this helps.

go to your local petstore or even wal mart, to the pet section theres some kitten formula milk you can buy there, you'll also need a little dropper, they should have those too, directions will be on the can as to how much to feed her. It's been so long I don't remember how much I had to feed my cat. You do have to feed her every 2-3 hours, this is only for the first 3-4 weeks then the kitten will start eating kitten food. If it's so young the eyes aren't even open it's only a couple of days old. Feeding will be critical for it's survival, you'll also need to keep her warm & pet her a lot, this will help stimulate blood circulation too. I also recommend calling your vet.

Well, My Sister Found A Baby [newborn] Kitten Outside. And It Still Needed Help Going To The Bathroom, And Still Needed To be Feed. The Kitten Didnt Even Look 2 Weeks Old. And We Broght It In And Cared For It. To Feed It, She Went And Bought A Kitten Botten At Like Walmart, Kmart Ect. And Regular Baby Food Or Kitten Food. And Feed It About Every Few Hours. 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

I would call the local animal shelter or humane society or some vet clinics. They often are in contact with people who have experience raising kittens this young or have cats who are nursing a litter and will accept another kitten.Hand-raising a kitten this young can be done, but it's not easy and it's time-consuming -- they have to be fed every two hours around the clock -- and it would be very difficult for you since you're a student. You're obviousy a kind-hearted person and it would be heartbreaking for you to have the kitten die.
