Greetings everyone!
I'm in need of your support, I'm in a situation where I was given a kitten that was taken away from her mother early shes ( 1 month and 11 days old ) born on 24 or July! as the breeder had to travel ugently.

She seems very skinny and I'm not sure what to feed her (Brand of food or any other advice) to let her grow amazingly ... As I feed my current cat RAW food he's 1 year old..

I didn't get the chance to take her to the vet yet but i will very soon.


I would really appreciate your support,
thank you!

It’s great you are getting to a vet ASAP as this age they are so fragile and the slightest issue can be huge at this age. Keeping it in a very small confined room is also recommended and hoping you have info on any deworming/vaccinations done etc.


Here are some recipes to help fatten them up.
Bless that sweet little baby. Let us know how they are doing.

If she is that young, I would mix whatever food you give her with some kitten formula. Let the food sit in the formula for a few minutes before you feed it, that way the food gets softer and soaks up some formula. It sounds like she has a good human mama that will get her everything she needs to grow up!

I got this little baby and she is happy playing and doing everything a baby kitten would do, I am feeding her purine pro plan for kittens and it’s been alright with her… then I tried to mix a little bit of “lily’s kitchen (smooth paste)” to her food and then next day I see a lot of bumps on her body and everywhere .. I haven’t seen her scratch it but it’s been freaking me out a lot.. I hope it’s nothing serious ….

Pls let me know if you’ve had an experience like this

@KaitoTheBald , awh.. hugs n healing vibe head smooches.. I would personally stop/return the lilys food since she got bumps . perhaps email pics to vet . sharing from an older thread a member posted :


"Hi, just thought I would mention one of my Sphynx cats was getting large pale lumps on his skin after we switched foods, we were going to take him to the vet but changed his food back to test and the lumps went down over night."

sharing from an older thread :


Tagging @Catzzzmeow ,@Sheldon13.suggestions for the skin bumps that appeared after adding a little bit of paste/wet food.
