need help with my kitty
just found a kitten two days ago. her mom killed by lorry (and the rest of her siblings... poor family...) so i'm taking care of her. this is my first time taking care of a cat. i think she's just 2-3 weeks old. i spoon-fed her milk (nestle omega). now, the thing is i dont know how much should i give her. and to make things worst, my friend 'accidentally' step on her (god knows how much he hate my cat, always purring in the night). now, i cant afford to take her to a vet (how much that will cost me?) but i dnt want to lose that cutie... any suggestions? need help really2 bad...

As nobody tries to answer you, let me help you with this one...
1. You said the cat is around 2-3 weeks..meaning the eyes are not yet opened?..Ait..or dah buka?
2. Feeding her human milk is not so wise as most cats cannot tolerate with lactose which will get them to be down with diarrhea... Frequent diarrhea leads to lose of body liquid..leads to death . I have done dat before..and the late kitty lasted only for 4 days.. try to get hold of milk powder for kittens.. Leh beli dari tesco pun... Or baby milk without lactose ( okay now I need another forumer to explain on this because I just know..human milk is a big NO NO..
3.Back to the milk..how much?..Kitten needs to be fed 2 hours once.. (yerp..it's hard to care for them if u dun have the mother).. feeds her as much as she can take .. other alternative is to find 'ibu angkat' with newborn kittens also..
4. Stepped on?..No comment...
5. You can try your best... but without a professional advice.. you may lose him/her... To be save.. invest a lil bit for vet.. get a gov vet..should be cheaper..around RM belas2 if I am not mistaken ( no experience with gov vet..other forumers..help?..) ikut rawatan... If you wanna go to private vet maybe it will be slightly expensive.. starts form Rm30++..ikut rawatan..if you are lucky and end up with a very noble vet who rescues the strays.. you might have the opportunity to save..
Hope dat might help.. Other forumers.. please correct me if I am wrong..

you can also feed it condensed or evaporated milk mixed with a bit of egg york
feed it when it meows[can be also asking you to clean its business]
feed until doesnt want to drink anymore.
