I’ve Just Found Out My 8 Week Old Kitten Is Infact 6 Weeks Old !! Please Help – Advice As She’s Not With Mum?

Sunday, February 7th, 2010

firstly, work this out for me, she was born on 20th september. although I was told she was 8 weeks old – doesn’t this work out that she is just over 6 weeks old ?
The poor thing needs to be with it’s mother for at least 8 weeks don’t they ?
She ate some cat food, but does she still need her mums milk ?
How can I care for her properly without her mum around ? Do I give her baby (human) formula milk ? Do I carry on giving kitten food ? Shall I wet it with water ? (it’s the dry Go Cat complete stuff).
Where shall I put her to sleep ? In our room ? on our bed ? on her own downstairs ? With or without Lola the 10 week old ?
I’m so new to this. But I love them so much already I want the best for them !
I’ve got a 10 week old kitten too who I’ve only had a week, so I need to please her too.
I’m angry as I wouldn’t have taken her had I know this age.
ALSO – please don’t judge, I’m not happy about this situation, but we lost our jobs, and get housing benefit etc, will PDSA help with jabs etc ? I’ve given them treatment for worms and fleas today so that is fine. Will they see Miya the 6 week old for free ? I don’t mind paying of course, but things are tight.
