🔸️PLEASE READ BEFORE COMMENTING🔸️
▪️If you have a Fading Kitten, follow the instructions as closely as you can.
▪️It's okay to make substitutions like honey or maple syrup instead of the Karo I use. It okay if you don't have all of the things I mentioned. The most important things are keeping them warm and raising their blood sugar.
▪️If you don't have access to things like sub-q fluids, that's okay. Just focus on keeping them warm and raising their sugar levels. These are the two most important things.
▪️You can make your own electrolytes solution by mixing 1/4 teaspoon of table/sea salt with 8 oz of water.
▪️If you don't have access to kitten formula you can use goats milk. Please only use cows milk in an absolute pinch and make the switch to kitten formula or goats milk asap (eg: if you find a tiny stray and the stores are closed, get the right milk asap).
▪️If you have specific questions please leave a comment for me, and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
Thank you I have sent an email to you just now 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I read you have to be careful with to much zinc for a cat. To much can be fatal although it’s a vital nutrient. Zinc is also added to pedialyte. So how much is recommended for a kitten?
:/ mine just passed in my arms while looking this up... It's important to accept that some fading kittens are beyond saving. all you can do in these situations is comfort the little guys and make the passing as easy as possible for them. even a dying kitten deserves loving pets. he fought hard, and I'm proud of him.
💯 Thank you for giving him that love and comfort ❤️
❤🤗🤗🤗🤗
We’ve all been there, thank you for your love and service ❤
mine just did the same to me, i read your comment maybe a minute before he passed 😔
❤️🙏🏻
I followed your instructions in addition to force feeding a combination of KMR and wet food in a syringe. When I picked her up from a foster I thought she was dead. Then I felt a slight pulse. I spent the night with her on my chest with a blanket and heating pad. She is not out of the woods yet but she is walking around now. I am crying tears of joy. Thank you for addressing this topic ❤️🙏
Good work! Thank you so much for this update 💜 Let me know how it goes 🙏🏻
Mine was on the verge of death I’m telling you! I was scared, bawling and everything. I watched this and she’s coming on! She’s playing😭 thank you so much for making this🙏🏼
Thank you so much, updates like this keep me going ❤️
Omg thank you so much!! My kitten survived 😭😭❤️ I 1000% recommend this video for anyone who’s going through this!
Jennifer Calvillo, I am SO happy to hear this!! Thank you so much for commenting! It made my day!
My kitten just passed. I just saw this video and it tears me up inside. I did everything I could but it just wasn’t enough. She was loved and her name was button.
I'm so sorry ❤️ 🙏
My two lovely kittens... they died... I don’t know how? I just cant stop crying because we would be best friends for life!....
I'm so sorry. Sometimes they are just too sick and weak. Thank you for trying to save them ❤
I knew when we got our babies that their chances were not good. I have bottle fed kittens before with success, but these were literally "days" old when we got them. They were doing good (eating, energetic, and purring) for a full week. But then started spiralling one by one. The hardest part is hearing them purr and you think you are doing good, and then they turn on a dime. Thank you for your words of encouragement at the end of this video. Although it made me cry, it was good to hear/read the purring for someone for a little while part. It's heartbreaking even if only for a week.
Thank you for working so hard for them 💜 I'm very sorry for your losses 🙏
I regret I didn’t find this video sooner. I couldn’t save my 6 weeks old kitten last night😢
Novia Dwi Sagita, I am so sorry for your loss. Sending you love and hugs ❤
Had this happen last night. She just had them and found one away from her and cold. Tried to save but she was taking her last breaths already and I wasn't knowledgeable enough on everything.
I was too late for saving him, he died in peace
ETERNAL MUSICS, I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for giving him warmth and love when he needed it the most ❤
Same with three of my kittens.

i lost my kitten to this yesterday and i’ve been crying since. i want to learn more and be able to take more with these issues since most people won’t ❤️ they deserve love even if it’s for a bit, and they deserve the biggest effort to help them live
Calli, I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 Sending you love ❤️ 🙏
I was afraid that one of my kitten gonna die...but thank you so much for your help, she is responding now...her heart beat was slow now it's rapidly increasing ❤️👏🙏
i wish i could turn back time and find this video sooner. one of my kittens died today and it hasn't felt right ever since, he was so weak and squealing constantly, he was fine a few days ago i don't know what happened. it breaks my heart watching his mummy look for him where he always slept 😭😭
I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 ❤🙏
Poor, darling little kittens!!!
So glad that there are great methods to help save a little kitty from dying, and breaking your heart!! 😔😔💖✝️⚜️
My kitten was only a few days old. It was the runt of the litter and it passed a couple of minutes ago. It hurts, but I feel a bit better knowing I tried my best to help.
I'm so sorry ❤️ 🙏🏻
I m trying to save mine now . Feeding him an home made electrolyte solution every 2 HR. In small doses . He's weak and his mother doesn't seem look after him. Hope he make it.please pray for my poor kitty .
Narcissistic Bot, I'm so sorry for the delay in reply! Did the kitten make it?
@@FosterTheFelines No sadly he died of suffocation and there was nothing much I could do for him. He died that very day .His whole body went like rock. I'm heartbroken.My poor baby will always be in my memory .

It worked! My 1 month old kitten was in excruciating pain for several hours, I was ready to let her go but I couldn't bear to see her in pain so I looked up online and found this video. I tried the first dose with maple syrup and she blinked, I became hopeful so I continued and to my surprised it really worked 😭😭😭😭😭 im so grateful for this video
@Nabila Jamaludin, Thank you so much for the update! I LIVE for these 🥰🥰🥰 I'm so glad she made it. Good work 🙌
I lost my 8week old kitten Adobo just 2 days after we adopted him. Heart wrenching, we all felt like we could have done more. Brought him to ER animal hospital and vet told us he won't last. I wish I could have seen more videos like this. Love and miss him.
Hanny, I'm so sorry 😞 Sending you love ❤🙏🏻
Wonderful, wonderful video!! I especially love the supplies list. It took me months of trying different advice from multiple sites to learn even half of this information. The heart beat from the snuggle kitty is seriously the best invention ever and every foster home should have multiple :) Thank you so much!
😘
Absolutely wonderful, excellent information.
Thank you so much for all this valuable info to help kitties in need.
This is the best and most comprehensive information on FKS that I've ever seen. I was fostering three 2-day old kittens and one by one they passed away but it wasn't for lack of me implementing everything I knew to do. This video confirmed that I did my best and I will definitely be saving this as well as passing it on to other foster parents. Thank you!
TheBestLifeTV, I'm so sorry for your losses 🙏 Thank you for working so hard for them ❤
its happening to me also
I’m currently trying to help my kitten. I’ll update if she recovers or not..
Edit: my kitten didn’t make it but I pray she’s in a better place now
Knia, I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for trying to save her 💜 🙏
This is with excellent information and so inspiring that it took you 36 hours to feed the kitten every 3 minutes, what an incredible patience. MashAllah.
Fariha, Thank you for the kind words 🙏 ❤
I had to come back on here and try to find your video again. My kitten had kitten fading syndrome the other day and thankfully I caught it early enough and was able to treat it with every single thing you got it on this video. Thank you so very much. My kitten survived and we are 3 days passed his fading day!
@Savannah, My favorite kind of comment! Good work! ❤🙌
I wish I found out our kitten had this before hand, this video would of helped tremendously 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Traeshia Gooden, I hope your kitten made it!
Thank you, we will put this to work on our 6 w.o. kitten. His sister faded a week ago, we felt helpless depending on a vet. This info seems to have helped others, we pray it helps here too.
Christopher, how did it go? I'm always amazed at how little most vets know about treating tiny kittens.
This video has been so helpful just in time when Dior my kitty needed it the most I cant thank you enough I really recommend this video!
Sharon, I can't tell you how happy this makes me! I'm so glad it helped 🥰😘
A heart felt thank you for loving cats.
MrDayYumYum, 🥰😘
This is so valuable! I don't have this problem, but if I did I would have been frantic and clueless. Thanks so much for this carefully made video.
I cannot emphasise enough about how thankfull I am to you guys . This video probably saved my kitten . She was barely moving this morning when i started treatment. She has her mom with her and now is drinking plenty of milk . Thank you guys for putting out such important information. I still don't know if she'll survive because I read a comment saying their kitten died after drinking milk . However, I'm still grateful for this video .Love ya .
Gimi Ghore, I am SO glad you found this useful! I hope this message finds your baby well. Sending you lots of love ❤
Thank you for making this video!!
I want to thank you SO MUCH for this video. I followed it to a T and little Zara is still here with me today. It felt like it was never going to work and she just laid there lifeless for hours but I stuck with it (and I prayed a lot). I didn't stop the 3 minute intervals until 4am when she finally looked up at me and meowed a tiny mew mew. It was the most incredible feeling. It works! But you can't give up if it doesn't work right away. Keep going....drink coffee & stay alert. Good luck to everyone 💓
That's amazing! Thank you so much for sharing ❤️ You did a great job!
Such an informative video, thanks for making this! Sadly lost one of our fosters this morning. Best way to treat FKS is to prevent it, if possible. Know your kitten’s behaviors and personality well...even minor abnormalities could indicate some serious health issue. Thank you to all foster parents ❤️
I'm sorry for your loss 😢 You're absolutely right; moving quickly as soon as you notice something off is essential.
Thank you so much for your help, we lost this little one😔, but we'll never give up. With your video, maybe the next kitten will make it. ❤️Lily
Lily, I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 Thank you for trying to save him ❤ 🙌
🙌🏼🙏🥰 She also responded to my message right when I need her the most she is Dior guardian Angel God Bless You ❤️
Thank you so much for making this video. My cat survived.
@Sanjana Gupta, my favorite kind of comment! ❤❤❤
I am so thankful I found this video on time. My 6 week kitten was suffering from constipation due to worm. Vet is not easily available in our place yet i manage to find one who gave deworming tablet and laxative to clear her poop. After givinh laxative she suffered dehydration. I had to perform enema twice to get her poop out. She became so weak. I followed your instructions and fed her orally for 3 days continuously. Gave her Subcutaneous fluid once. Didnt have butterfly needle so gave her directly from syringe. Finally she is fine now after 3 weeks of struggle. Thank you so much
Napaam, I am SO glad for a happy update! Thank you, these are the best!
Today my Kitten was going through this, so I quickly searched up this video and started following the steps. Even though I didn’t have anything in the video I had to make do of what I had. No vets wanted to take her in so I hope my baby will be a survivor!!
Chloe, hoping for a happy update 🙏 ❤
We just had two of our three kittens pass from this, we didn’t find this syndrome until today and the last kitten is now unconscious, but luckily still eating when he wakens up. I have him in a burrito now, and am waiting for my wife to get home with Karo, pedelyte, and a syringe. I really hope this works, the last two passing in our arms have destroyed us. 😭
Thank you so much, we save a baby kitten today together:) keep doing the awesome work you do
Think and Print, I am so happy to hear this! 🥰😍
Hello, I just wanted to thank you. I found this video when I was looking for answers to my kittens condition. She unfortunately passed away..
But I want to thank you regardless, She fought because I found your video. Thank you so much, I wish you well 💖

I just came upon your channel. I started fostering this spring. I am on my third family. I lost one of my current family kittens to fading kitten. He would not nurse from th ex start. I tried everything I knew. I knew he wasn't going to make it, so I wrapped him up made him as comfortable as I could and rocked him until he got his wings. The other two kittens are now 4 weeks old and rolly polly snuggly bugs. My little girl is a poldactyl. She has a total of 23 toes. 7, 6, and 5 on each rear paw. She walks like a gecko. The boy looks like a black ewok from star wars return of the jedi.
Jennifer, I'm so sorry for your loss. Sometimes they are just too weak. Thank you for showing him warmth and love when he needed it the most 💓 Polydactyl babies have the best feet! Our Chandler has 26 total, 7 on each front foot and 6 on each back foot. Thank goodness he lets me play with his toes all the time 😉
From the bottom of my heart, thank you, thank you, thank you! I rescued a kitten at what I assume was around 4 weeks old and for two weeks he was thriving, just living his best life. Then he took a nosedive. He was glassy eyed, lethargic, no appetite and no interest in playing, he just curled up in a ball and slept. I was so freaked out, even though I'd only had him for two weeks this was NOT like him and it just felt like something was very wrong. Once I googled his symptoms and saw that it was most likely FKS, I searched on here for what to do and your video came up! I fed him sugar water and evaporated goats milk with a dropper and he perked up!! It took a few days until he was fully recovered but he seems to be all better. I pray this won't happen again. Thank you so much for this information!
Thank you so, so much for this 🙌🏻 Kittens are so fragile and so many people aren't able to access the information in time. It absolutely makes my day when I get messages like this! My favorite!
My kitten just died earlier. This video really helped a lot but was too late to save him. Still can't believe he's gone.
Jrexx28, I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 ❤🙏
I tried to save my 11 days old kitten she has been suffering for 6 hours. I gave her milk before 10 hours ago she was healthy and after she started to get weakened time by time and she stopped feeding due to breathing problem and then she started to get cold and died. I tried everything i could help her but failed and i cried.
Mustapha Furman, You didn't fail, you gave her love and warmth when she needed it the most. A lot of the babies we lose are just too sick and there's nothing else we can do but love them and you did that. Thank you for trying so hard to save this kitten ❤ I'm very sorry for your loss 🙏❤
Sometimes it's just the process of Nature for one to die. Remember that for every beautiful working innovation that made a cat so perfect, hundreds of thousands at least were born wrong somehow and just couldn't thrive. If you raise animals sometimes one will just die, no matter what you do. Sometimes it'll even be the best one, or the only female, or the biggest sweetie, and it's hard not to just shut down and quit.
This is super effective! Thank God for your video. 😭🙏🏻💝 Yesterday, after my kitten ate her normal food and taken medication for her antifungal then after few minutes, she vomited and becamve very weak. When we took her to the vet, the doctor said that shes dying already and no gurantee she will surivive with + coronavirus. She was not moving but breathing. Her eyes are moving dilating. We were so heartbroken. I know she is fighting! Then I came across your video. Followed step by step procedures per minute. I used 240cc water with 1/4 tsp himalayan salt and 3tbs of Honey. This morning she ate her normal food and very much alive. ❤❤❤
AMAZING! Good work! And Thank you so much for sharing the success with me; my absolute favorite kind of comment 🥰
I’m currently dealing with this, I’m following the instructions and he finally able to pick up his head all by himself!! He has my heating pad at the bottom of his stomach, it not very big though. I gave him sugar, pedialyte, and his heating pad! Everything is going okay but I’m waiting for my vet to open up so I can take him. I hope he makes it!
@Elba Ordaz, did he pull through? 🙏🏻
is he alive until now? pls let me know
If anyone is going through this, try giving the kitten pure maple syrup. Rub it in the roof of their mouths and tongue. Make sure they are warm. If you need to breathe into their fur to keep them warm, do so for 20 mins. Warm some water and sugar and feed it to the kitten with a syringe. After about 30 mins they will start to show vital signs. Keep giving them syrup every 15 mins and through the night, even if they look better. Pray over them and have faith ❤. I was able to save 2 kittens that were on the verge of death this way.
Eli Cortez organic sugar or?
fcukmadss 101, It doesn't have to be organic if you don't have it on hand, although organic is best. The Karo syrup I talk about in the video is just a think corn syrup. You can also use maple syrup or honey if it's all you have on hand. The point is just to raise their blood sugar as hypoglycemia is a common cause for Fading Kitten
@@madsymoo it was not organic sugar, though what I feel made a big difference was the pure maple syrup.
my kitten is progressing so much rn im so happy pls pray for her n i cant even express the gratitude im feeling fo you thank u so much🙏
How is she doing? 🙏🏻
@@FosterTheFelines she passed away and even her sister passed away

Arpit Das, I'm so happy to one made ❤ So sorry for your losses 🙏
Dude I found this kitten on my property after I came home from work. The mommy cat that lives on my property didn't want her kittens, so I found them all dead except for one. He has been doing so good this past week, but today he refused to eat and was extremely weak. It honestly made me feel like shit I clean him from fleas everyday and feed him every few hours. I also have a dog who have birth recently accept the kitten and is helping keep his body head. I don't know what went wrong.
Camilo, Thank you for working so hard to save him! These things happen for so many reasons and a lot of the time we will never get to find out why. Its been my experience that outdoor cats get pregnant so often that they are just over it. They have zero shits left to give and their bodies are run down and exhausted. They are literally incapable of growing healthy babies any more and when by some miracle they have live births, they just don't have it in them to be a mom anymore. If it is at all possible, try to get this old girl spayed before she gets knocked up again. It would be the biggest gift you could ever give her. Call you local shelters or rescues and see if someone can help you get her TNR'd. 🙌😘 -Missi
He/she died sadly, I’m watching this for future references... they took there last ghasp in my hands....I was in tears😔😭
I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 ❤🙏
Thank you sooo much!! My 6 days old orphaned kitten was unresponsive and completely lifeless for 4 whole hours, I tried CPR and kept pumping his chest to no avail, I kinda started to give up until I saw this video. I mixed some regular water with sugar and administered a few drop in his mouth every three minutes, he started to gradually gain responsiveness, was able to close his mouth (he had his mouth open the whole time), then wiggle his feet then was able to hold up his head and fast forward three hours later he was able to walk and meow and even climb on my clothes 😭😭😭 I then fed him his formula and is now fast asleep ❤️❤️ I am forever grateful to you 🙏🙏🙏
Good work! Thank you so much for the update ❤️ These are the best kind and I love to get them!
THANK GOD I DID THIS AND IT ACTUALLY WORKED MY KITTEN IS BETTER NOW 🥺 I honestly thought it wasn’t gonna work but it did 🥺🥺🥺
Rebecca, I'm SO happy to hear this! ❤
I found 6 kittens, all of them seem fine at first, after less than a week of having them, they started to become less active and will hardly eat or drink water! 2 sadly died and one is dying In my arms as I'm typing this, I'm feeding the little kitten warm sugar water and electrolytes every 3 minutes,. Hopefully, the kitten recovers, he keeps making a gasping sound , while tilting his head back he smells a little like death so I really doubt it um please if anyone could pray for theses 4 kittens
Scorpio, I'm so sorry for your losses 😔 I hope for a good update on the last kitten ❤🙏
My kitten didn't make it and I'm devastated... but I came here to learn and to be a better mama for my next foster kitty
@Jane Doe, I'm so sorry 🥺🙏❤
Thank so much now my kitten is alive thank you😊😊😊
I am currently nursing 4 kittens right now. They are a total of 7 kittens but during birth 2 died and this morning 1 of the kitten died due to hypoglycemia. By watching your video I have high hopes to save others.
Kurt So, I'm sorry for your loss 😔 Let me know how the others are doing ❤🙏🏻
Oh wow… I wish I found this video a day later, poor Pickle was starting to become very weak at 12AM on a Friday, it was his bedtime so we thought it was tired, as we have never taken care of a kitten that was 5 weeks old. We woke up and it’s whole body just took a toll downwards. He did have watery diarrhea the day we got him, but we suggested it was due to the food because it was new to him.. he just wouldn’t eat or drink, was freezing cold / shaking, and just looked on the edge of death. We went to the vet and we were to late. The only choice was hospitalization which costed up to 18,000 where we live. We didn’t have that money and sadly my mom decided to put poor Pickle down and out of its pain. He was so ill the vet wouldn’t let him home because if he did , he would die a slow death. This was our first time taking care of a 5 week old kitten that was a stray outside, and we never knew about this syndrome. Rest In Peace Pickle, 11-14-21..
Bitterr, I'm sorry for your loss 😔 Sending you love ❤ 🙏🏻
Thank you my kitten survived 😍
Julz, my most favorite kind of comment! I'm so glad ❤❤❤
12 months ago - late January my litter of four kittens became FKS pros! One was out for four hours but I brought her back. She even had four bouts of it! The last session, was two of them at once. I didnt have a heating pack so I shoved the purritos down my cleavage and put a heat pack on the outisde. I gave them loves of kisses and whispered sweet nothings to them. I learned on the job, googling and reading up on the protocols and luckily had a vet who helped me by teaching me subcut fluid. Thank you for this video! While it wasn't around while I was learning on the go I am sure it will help many others. - Gaby
Sticks & Stones Education, Thank you for working so hard to save them!
My 4 day old foster seems to have trouble falling asleep.
It hurts my heart to see this happen to them. I've done everything I could with what I have.
Manzaza, It is the hardest part and it never gets easier but its always worth it when the kitten pulls through ❤
Two of the kittens I rescued died. We only have two left. I want to make sure that I know what to do if this happens again.
Anime, I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 I hope the surviving babies are doing well and having this information on hand gives you some comfort 🙏❤

Brittany, I am so, so sorry 😞 This part never gets easier but its especially hard for our little ones. Thank you for loving that lil baby when he needed it the most ❤
I wish that I could've find this before my cat's kittens died long time ago. She had 3 and after they was born one by one died.
AshStabs, I'm so sorry for your losses!
Praise to God that I find this video my kitten is in a bad condition right now and in our area where we live it's not easy at all to find vets as they are less in number but I'm trying, I'm glad I find this video I don't have Maple syrup , corn syrup right now so I just gave my kitten honey mixed in warm water 5 minutes ago and I'm giving her warm air through my mouth on her fur as I don't have heating pad , will keep u updated INSHALLAH.
Fari, how did it go? 🙏🏻
@@FosterTheFelines sadly my two kittens died, but thankyou for asking✨
My brother and his wife took in 2 very young foster kittens, their cat had kittens 2 week prior to this. Both kittens were very ill looking and extremely tiny despite being older than momma cats biological babies. They did fine for 2 weeks until they noticed today the smallest kitten was in obvious pain and with research we found out it was fading kitten syndrome. We then found this video and followed the instructions. We were sure we were too late (poor guy was in awful state, we thought he was past the point of no return.) At one point he stopped breathing and I was able to bring him back with gentle chest compressions. It’s been 3 hours of following this video and he’s made a remarkable turn around, he’s getting his strength back and is even able to walk a little bit again although he is so exhausted and wants to sleep. Not out of the woods yet and we’re really praying this tough guy pulls through! He’s got a fighters spirit. Thank you for the video, if this guy pulls through it’s another tiny life you’ve saved! Fingers crossed!! ❤️🐱
@Michaela, Good work! Please let me know how he's doing today 🙏🏻
as I'm currently watching, I'm also trying to save an abandoned kitten i found in front of my street, he was very weak, after the initial steps i can see him responding. I hope all goes well for this little guy.
thanks for this.
btw what can i use as alternative for his milk?
John, so sorry for the delay in response. How is the kitten?
Im so so late , my cat is just fine earlier but then she begin not to move until she died , I tried but it did'nt work . I miss her already she is the first thing i look at when im awake . Thanks for the memories 😔😔😢😢😭😭

Janoa, My favorite kind of comment! ❤
im only 15. im thinking about fostering when im around 20 so i can have a separate account for money for foster care and im trying to start early in watching these videos. its currently 4 in the morning and the whole night ive been researching kitten foster care and tips for their healthcare because ive seen videos on Dodo and it scares me thinking i could potentially lose a life. i want to start with over 8 week old kittens and once theyve been adopted and im comfortable with basic care, i want to make my way to the younger kitties
That's an amazing plan! You might check with your local rescues and shelters to see what their programs are like. Some of them are able to cover 100% of the food and litter you will need as well as their medical care. If you're on Instagram or Facrbook, you might check out my second account, Foster Kitten Tips. It has some good basic resources to save for later.

paying for medical care would be lifesaving! i wouldnt mind paying for toys and supplies because i already get giddy when shopping for my cat myself. i really wish there was some type of work experience at a kitty foster home so i could gain experience with the rights and wrongs and the supplies i need to make and use. thankyou so much for your help! ill see your page on instagram:) ❤️
My baby kitten just left us this morning..That led me here..😢😢😢
Kakakak, I'm so sorry for your loss 😔❤ Thank you for trying to save him 🙌
My kitten was very weak to begin with but this last week she seemed happy and healthy then she suddenly started to struggle to breath I tried my best but I couldn't save her...
SPAGhetti, I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 ❤🙏
They need their mothers. I lost a little girl kitten despite my efforts. Broke my heart.
I was the only one there for my kitten who was the last born in the litter. The mama cat isn't even doing anything to try to help their baby.
The baby is weak. Wobbly, struggling to breath, dehydrated, cold.
I tried to keep the baby warm. Doing what I can to help. I don't have almost all of the things that was mentioned in the video sadly. Only surger and water which I mixed well and did small finger drops to the baby's mouth.
The baby is still alive and struggling and my own mother wouldn't let me try to save it even more. Just told me to leave it to the mama cat.
All I know is the baby isn't gonna live until the next day. Thanks to my mom. I was crying when I held it for the last time. I did everything I can for him.
I'm so sorry. Thank you for being there for him ❤️
You'll be in my heart💗dedicate 2 my one 1 and only Leo😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Khlain, I'm so sorry for your loss 😢 ❤🙏 Sending you love
For those who need this, I made this for my little kitty. Her name is Star.

Hi mom! Thank you for taking care of me.
Thank you for picking me up when no one wanted me.
I didn't get to see the world because my eyes aren't open yet but I felt your warm love and embrace and those are enough for me.
I am very lucky to have you as my human. We only spent little time together but every single second of it was amazing.
Thank you so much for getting me out of that trash can. I didn't freeze to death and got to experience having a family for a moment.
Don't be sad. I will always be at your side watching and looking after you. Please continue what you're doing and save more kittens like me.
Always take care of yourself.
I'll wait for you at the end of the rainbow bridge
@Dandelion Flufff, this is beautiful, Thank you for sharing ❤ 🙌
Excellent video!!
I've been rescuing/fostering for 8 years and I've dealt with/saved/sometimes lost many kittens and I never really understood the Karo syrup thing. Colleague of mine kept suggesting it and I didn't understand really why. Knew about pedialyte and everything else, just not the Karo (or the awesome cool nipple!)
Video getting booknarked and integrated. Thanks!
Amseek94, I'm so glad you found it helpful!
We have been trying to save an underweight Sphynx kitten. He has been doing so good and gaining weight for 13 days. Suddenly today he took a turn for the worst. We have done everything you’ve have suggested and sadly some just can’t be saved. He is simply lingering right now and it’s breaking my heart. We took him in weighing .80 ounces and he was at 2.70 ounces yesterday but today he lost weight. Anyone that is reading this please know you’re not a failure if your kitty doesn’t make it. We have saved many neo natal puppies and kittens and only lost two.
@A Little Wheiser, Thank you for all you do! ❤️ 🙏🏻
Me too it died I was so sad he died
2 kittens died and i’m currently taking care of the last 2
Hoping for a happy update 🙏
Sitting with a 6 week old kitten fading fast... following this and hoping she pulls through 🙏🏼
Praying for a good update 🙏 ❤
It was my first time rescuing a kitten found in the street, it was raining that time and the kitten was crying for help so I picked her up. Today, my kitten died, I had her for only 3 days and she was doing great, however, yesterday night she wasn’t drinking her milk, she’s refusing to swallow them, I didn’t know why, and I was worried. She’s meowing and meowing loudly but I don’t understand her. I wish I had known better about how to raise them properly, i didn’t know what to do, I miss her so muchh I wish I could turn back time and watched these videos. Even though I only had her for 3 days, I got so attached to her and I fell in love with my little angel. But thank you for this one!! Thank you for uplifting me, I really needed this it’s been hard to get up lately because of her loss, thank you so much!
Emilia, I'm so sorry for your loss. Thank you for trying to save her 💜 🙏🏻
The kitten I tried to save had some kind of infection on the nose and right eye
Sound like an upper respiratory infection. We see those a lot in rescue work; it's probably the most common illness we see. Thank you for trying to save him!
My Cat Is Only 3 days old,And it always Cries and Doesn’t want to Breastfeed.What should I do?
JLB, I'm sorry for the delay in response. Did your kitten make it?
Thank you so much for this, two of my kittens have passed away due to this syndrome, and one of my other kittens is showing most of the symptoms. I will not let it happen again
Cringe Ken, I'm so sorry for your losses ❤
😭, just rescued this little guy outside a hotel here in TX during this nasty weather. He was so skinny, but screaming his little head off. Took him home, bathed him, and he seemed to be doing good. He had his 'milk' teeth, so fed him with a dropper with goats milk I had in the fridge that had defrosted...and he also ate some of the fancy feast infant pate. Even used the litter box. But he started fading last night...gave him water&salt&Karo....went to the store this am for Pedialyte......came back and he was gone. 😢. He was a cutie too....black and white with little "bandit" markings, even a little ❤ on his paw.😭
I love black&whites......my 3 foster fails are gray&tabby. Asked the MOST HIGH 2 welcome him N2 heaven and keep him there 4 me. Along with my dog Rolo, his kitty brother Oreo.....my baby I brought when I moved back from England..."Winston"..Rest N peace little Bandit...😢 I take comfort in knowing rhat at least his last hours here were not trying to stay alive in a storm....that he did have food and cuddles..he even purred a little the night before last.....😢
Thank you for being there for him ❤️
My kitten died.. that’s the second one..

I just lost my baby cat today. I am so broken right now. The last time I felt this pain was when my mom died. My wife just found this angel inside plastic bag in a canal. We put all our heart to her. I miss her so much. I wish I was able to save her.
