What should you do when you have an orphaned kitten?

Sigh.....yes. Sigh... a lot.
Suddenly someone gave me 2 newborn kittens. I asked her "where's the mommy?" She said "I don't know. I also found the kitten in the drain but I couldn't take care of the kittens coz my neighbor hates cat... "

Please don't be like this...you think you are helping but you are burdening someone else without notice. Next time, i won't be so kind  anymore. I also live in a terrace house and i could not have more cats than i have now. Please seek an appropriate channels for help like spca, scratch/ktaj or petfinder....

You know, newborn kittens are very fragile, super noisy and they will end up dead without their mommy due to no immunity in their body system...

So, what to do? Please choose a suitable milk for the kitten... i already have a kitten milk which i stored for quite few months.
I fed the kittens with the milk but i think the milk is not suitable because it end up diarrhea. One of the kitten already 'gone'... The moment i saw the weak one, i know it won't be long...
So, 2-1 = 1. I'll do my best to keep this one going.

I gave up the milk that caused the diarrhea and just feed it with ORS....till no more yellow liquid coming out from the bottom...

You can visit the vet for vitamins or immunity booster. I have no time to do so...

Then, I tried feeding it with a new milk that is specially made for a newborn kitten. Just follow the instruction to prep the milk. You can feed using the nursing bottle or a syringe. It was frustrating because the kitten didn't want to feed using nursing bottle. So, i used a syringe instead while training it using the bottle. Feed about 6 times daily. Then, let's see whether the kitten survives it's first month....Sigh......please spay/neuter your cats.
