- Blanket

Instructions
Pick up the kitten gingerly and regulate its body temperature. If the kitten is over-heated, give it a cool bath to bring down the heat. For a cold kitten, wrap it in a blanket and hold it near you to receive your body warmth.
Dip your finger in the Karo syrup and gently rub the syrup onto the kitten's gums. Lift up its lips so you can easily spread the syrup on the upper and lower gums. Leave the syrup to be absorbed into the kitten's system.
Prepare a baby bottle with Karo syrup. Pour a small amount of syrup into the bottle. Add warm water to the syrup slowly and keep adding it until the mixture is thin and drinkable.
Feed the kitten the Karo water bottle until it is strong enough to eat. A bottle every six hours will help keep the kitten's blood sugar level up until it can and wants to eat food.
