How long can your two week old kitten survive without there mother?

A two-week-old kitten cannot survive without its mother. They are completely dependent on their mother for:

* Milk: Kittens at this age need their mother's milk for nourishment and antibodies to develop their immune system.

* Warmth: Kittens are born with very little ability to regulate their body temperature and need their mother for warmth.

* Stimulation: Their mother helps them to urinate and defecate by licking them.

What to do if a kitten is separated from its mother:

* Immediately contact a veterinarian or animal rescue organization. They can help you find a surrogate mother cat or provide the necessary care for the kitten.

* Do not attempt to feed the kitten cow's milk. This can cause serious digestive problems.

* Keep the kitten warm. Use a heating pad set on low or a warm water bottle wrapped in a towel.

* Stimulate the kitten to urinate and defecate. Use a warm, damp cloth or cotton swab to gently massage the kitten's genitals.

Please remember: A two-week-old kitten needs its mother's care to survive. Seek professional help immediately if a kitten is separated from its mother.
