Found a tiny kitten? Don't scoop it up yet
The idea that a mother cat abandons kittens over "human scent" is a myth — she's usually just out finding food · kittens really die of cold, too little milk, low birth weight, and mothers neglecting weak kittens. 📎 thevetdesk.com
What helps
- If the kittens look healthy, leave them and watch from far away for several hours — mum won't come in while people are close.
- Call a vet or rescue if a kitten is cold, crying non-stop, thin, dirty or hurt, or mum has been gone more than half a day.
- Always warm before feeding, and never give cow's milk — use kitten formula as a vet advises.
