Day 1 - Day 60
No panic. It's actually very easy to raise kitten if you also have their mummy with them. Basically, you do nothing at all. Let nature takes its course. Magically, the mummy will breastmilk their kittens and kittens will also find milk on their mummy. Just prepare a bowl of water and little box. For unknown reason, I barely notice any shit from those kittens until after Day 60.
It's best to keep mummy and their kittens together in a room if you can afford or in a cage (if you can't afford space).
I had a painful experience by letting nature takes its course. I put them in a big box outside my yard, and after 1 week, the mummy transferred her kittens to another place. However on the 3rd week, the mummy brought back 2 kittens to my yard, and both had eye infections. Luckily for 1 kitten, her eyes are saved after a visit to vet. But for the other, her eyes are blinded. Another 2 more kittens are missing/dead.
So, if you want to keep them safe and healthy and avoid vet cost, just keep them in a safe place such as room or cage.
Day 0
Day 14-30
Most articles in the internet refer that kittens will have their eye opened on the by the 10th day. If they don't, it's a cause of concern and need to bring them to vet on the 14th day.
For my personal experience, day 20-30 is the maximum limit before brining them to vet, if their eye still doesn't open. Make sure to bring along the mummy, so that the kitten and mummy won't have emotional stress.
Day 14
Day 60 onwards
From around this days, the kittens will start to eat your money :) You will need to feed them kitten kibbles. And by just feeding them kibbles, they can grow into beautiful kittens.
Day 60
Day 180
If your kitten is eating well and shitting well, then it's time to bring to veterinarian for de-worm and vaccination. Is it important for vaccination? It surely does. This will be explained in the next article.
