How to Hold a Newborn Kitten


Kittens, depending on their age, may need special food and handling. For instance, you may need a milk replacer for the kitten until its old enough to eat cat food. You should also talk to your vet about the right way to hold a kitten and how often to hold the kitten. For example, newborns shouldn’t be handled very much. Hold the kitten in a way that is comfortable for you and the kitten. You can try picking up the kitten with your writing hand by gently gripping the kitten from behind the front legs. Use your other hand to scoop the kitten up by his bum. Make sure his tail is tucked between his legs so he doesn’t get hurt. Support his body when placing him back on the ground and make sure all four feet touch at once. Talk to your vets Aurora, CO for more tips.
