| Animal Care | |||
Kittens are very sensitive to temperature. They need to be kept clean, warm and dry - just like a baby.
1. Kitten should be given clean, dry and fresh bedding every day. It may be necessary to change the bedding several times a day if kitten has any accidents.
2. Kittens may be lightly washed with warm water and towel dried or a moistened warm washcloth may be used to wash faces, necks and paws after eating. “Do not use soap”. If the kitten’s rectum area and surrounding fur is soiled from loose stools or diarrhea, wash the rectum area under warm running water.
3. All bedding should be washed with detergent, bleach and a little fabric conditioner.
4. Wash your hands before & after each feeding and after changing the kitten’s bedding.
5. If kitten is housed in an animal carrier-Disinfect carrier by using 1 part bleach to 32 parts water (1 oz. to 1 gallon water), thoroughly dry and air before returning kitten to carrier.
6. If kitten is housed in a cardboard box-Change cardboard box several times per week and when cardboard box is soiled.
