Well to begin, I'm Alex. I actually have no cats right now, but in a few weeks I will be adopting a 5 week old kitten that either had to find a home, or be put into a shelter. I am very worried about taking the kitten away from the mother so young, but I don't want the poor sweetheart to go to a kill shelter where I know he wont be cared for properly.
If anyone can give me some information on the best way possible to care for a kitten so young I would be extremely grateful! The main thing I'm concerned about is his diet. At 5 weeks should I give him imitation milk or canned kitten food? Also what is the best way to maintain the kittens proper body temperature?
All in all, I really need advice about everything. I have been doing some research but I want to hear what experienced owners have to say on everything. I just want to raise a healthy cat that I can share my life with. Any help you can give is more than appreciated!
