Feeding a newborn kitten can seem like a daunting task at first, especially if there is no mother cat to do it for you. When kittens are first born, they are tiny, delicate, and completely helpless. If you have ever fed a human baby, however, you are well on your way to becoming a good surrogate mother for your furry little baby. Once they know what to do, however, they will do most of the work all on their own once instinct takes over. All you have to do is take care of them and follow a few basic guidelines to ensure that your newborn kittens are well fed, healthy, and taken care of.
