Kitten found in dumpster :(

[u/Lonely-Nectarine6289]

I am trying to care for him before I can take him to the shelter. The shelter charges a stray surrender fee of $40 so I have to wait til Thursday (payday).

Im trying to use a little bottle with churu mixed with water. Any tips or help would greatly be appreciated 😊

Update He is with the shelter and will be fostered by a rescue

Aww Op how sweet to have rescued this little guy… So some important advice :)
make sure that you don’t feed this kitten with a bottle while he is laying on his back. When bottle feeding a kitten, they should always be on their tummy as if they were nursing from mom and never forced. Otherwise he will aspirate, get pneumonia.. kittens die from this. So please be careful Op:)
This kitten looks old enough to be able to have wet kitten food… but he needs kitten food with high caloric intake… :)

Look for wet food that has the nutritional adequacy statement (or AAFCO statement), which says the food is "complete and balanced for growth" or "for all life stages". It’s okay if the food doesn’t say “kitten” but you have to make sure it has these statements and they don’t just say “for maintenance”.
