I FoUND A NeWBOrN KITTEN!!!?

I went out and bought kitty milk and a dropper i have had it in my house for about 3 hours i called the humane society and they told me to put the kitten back where i found it and the mother should come back to get her, so i did. its getting late and cold about 50 degrees F. Its been about 45 min. and i can still hear the kitten crying. how long can a newborn kitten stay outside by its self? THE HUMANE SOCIETY WONT COME AND GET HER.
Answers:
PLEASE DONT LEAVE HER. Is there any sign of a mother around? How old is it? That really worries me. Can you take her in until she is old enough for the humane society? Can you take her in for a little while, feed her and keep her safe and warm and then try to find a rescue group? There are usually some in every area that are separate from the humane society that will take it in. That really worries me? If she is too young, and she has been touched by humans, sometimes (not always) the mom will not take them back (in the wild). Do you live on a busy street?

Please do something. You are a kind person to care.

when you get her (because I am realy hoping you will or already did by now!) make sure to keep her warm and give her something to snuggle with, even if it is a towel or a t-shirt, something soft and snuggle so she feels surrounded by warmth like a mom and litter mates would do.
i would go get the kitty it is to cold for a new born to be left alone it depends on there mother for everything i would take it in and take care of it
Go and get the kitten. Keep it warm and try to feed it. Feed it every 4 hours. Tomorrow, when it warms up, put it back where you found it but stay close enough, just in case another animal comes along. If another 2 hours goes by, the mother probably isn't coming. Then you have to decide whether or not to keep the kitten or to turn him over to a shelter.

Good luck and thanks for helping the poor little thing.

PS If you just HAPPEN to live near New London, CT, I will come and get the kitten -- I have LOTS of experience with hand raising kitties.
Bring the kitten in from the cold! Who knows what has happened to the Mama Cat, and baby kittens need to eat a little very frequently. Bless your heart for saving it !
looks like someone just got a new pet
Do Not leave it out in the cold, or it will die. Please bring it in and keep it warm and feed it. You will probably have to take it in and raise it until its 8 weeks old. If your around Tulsa, I can probably take it :). Good Luck with the kitty!
Oh please don't leave them they really need to be warm they could die out there it dos not look like there mother is around just take them in they need food and they need to be warm.
If it's just one kitten i'd think that it's mother is gone, or the kitten wandered off and the mother dosen't kow where it is. I'd bring it in and try to keep feeding it every two hours or whaterver when it's hungry and call the humane society again in the morning, that or your local vet.
the mother cat isn't going take care of her because there is what is called compation because they are both female.
i found a drowning kitten floating in the ditch outside and i bought the kitty milk and nursed the Kitty back to health and decided to keep him and he is know a year old. my point the mother probably wont come back and the Kitty is probably to little to be left outside, that sounds cruel, i would go get the kitty and nurse it and you to will fall in love and decide to keep her. if not call your local SPCA and they will be able to help, because the humane society were i live is a joke.
A mother will sometimes leave a kitten if she thinks something is wrong with it. Or she may have been carrying it somewhere, got scared and dropped it.

I am including some links on newborn care. I have an adobe downloaded newborn handbook, but It doesn't have a link, so if you want e-mail me and I can send you a copy by e-mail.

I would take care of the kitten as best as you can and keep checking outside to see if you see a cat around that might be the mother. Even put some food out and watch it. But don't become too attached, there is a high mortality rate with abandoned/lost new born strays. Keeping it warm is the MOST important thing to be concerned about right now.

It's a nice thing you are doing. Just give the kitten the best shot at life that you can and hope for the best! Good luck.

if your ready to do this here we go.pet stores have bottles,get a cat carrier or box.use old towels for bottom.you have to use a warm wet cotton ball to stimulate them to go potty like their mom would,when it's hungry it will cry, if it gets poop and pee on it gently rinse off in warm water in sink, gently blow dryer on low to dry and warm up.my 12 yr old. cat was one day old when dumped in boot box in bushes,she's the best cat I've ever had! anymore ?
People are giving you a lot of good advice. Please do take the kitten in and keep it warm. I worked for a vet and used to use washed out bleach bottle, filled with warm water and wrapped in a towel as a make shift bottle warmer. Just set this near the kitten for warmth.
I nursed a kitten that we found and he was so young that his eyes weren't even opened yet. We got a small bottle (can purchase from Vet or pet store) and he took to the bottle well. He still wanted his bottle at six months...crazy kitten. We called him Wee Willy. Wee Willy grew into a beautiful 26lb. cat. I miss him.
If you take care of this little one, believe you and the kitten will have a very special bond. Good Luck and I hope the kitten is fine. Also get some liquid vitamin supplement. It used to be call DianimoX. Great stuff.
Ok what you need to do is bring her inside, the kitten could easily get sick. The most important thing to remember is that kitten can not go to the bathroom by themselves, the mother actually has to stimulate them to make them go. You can do this by taking a soft warm wash cloth and rubbing them in the pee pee spot. Do this very slowly and gently, you might want to use a towel incase you get wet. All kittens do all day is sleep and eat, it is very important that you make a feeding schedule. You could either use a baby bottle or a seringe. Now when kittens eat they knead on something, so you need to get a very soft stuffed animal to have around or you can sleep with it very carefully. It is going to take patience, I hope this helps you out. Good luck
PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE HER! Take care of the kitty until you find a good home for her! ^_^
no dont leave her. It is late and she is scared. Just keep her over night and feed her and keep her warm. Then in the morning go look for the mommy she is close with her babies bc they can not wonder off far.
i just took home a 3 week old kitten. she was the runt...the mommy had left her behind a few times. i bought kitten formula and one of the tiny animal bottles. it took a few days, but she started sucking the bottle and eating great!! you can try this.and keep her very warm...against ur chest. my kitten, honey, is now 6 weeks, shes great. there are ways...it's better to try than to let her go w/ out her mothers milk. it won't hurt to keep her in and warm
I would supplement her and while keeping her warm - kittens can't maintain their body heat and watching out for mom. If mom is not back soon. I would take care of her by taking her to an emergency clinic and having them teach you how to feed her (possibly tube feeding).
