This guy has a large messy story for being so young but I'll sum it up by just saying I have one orphan kitten, very small and without a friend. I've taken care of a few lone kittens that were still to young to be away from there parents in the past but I don't think they were this young.
#1: I was hoping someone could help me with a guess at it's age. I'm thinking right at the end of 3 weeks - start of 4 week but am not sure. He weighs 694g or 1lb 8.5oz. He can clime and run around a little but would still rather lay on his back with a toy then run around with it. Head to base of the tail hes 22cm or about 9 inchs.
#2: Also does anyone one have some names (would like one that reflects him going through a lot ) and care suggestions?
I know a kitten growing up without a 2nd kitten or even a parent to learn from can result in a not very well rounded cat and would like to help this little guy be the best cat he can. The last small kitten we took care of and kept is a biter as a adult, love bites but does draw blood. He also was raised with a puppy so had someone there to play with and cry if he was being to mean.
This poor boy has been getting dry food as his only source of food for weeks and I believe he is to small for it but is eating it as it was that or starve. I gave him about 4 bowls with a little KMR milk the 1st day and he didn't take much but was very happy to of had the milk. I've also given him a little wet can food.
#3: Would you guys give him milk still? If so how often?
#4: Should I let him have dry food or only cans and wet down dry food?
