A newborn kitten can starve within a day without milk, so let it nurse as soon as possible. Prefer the mother cat; if unavailable or unwell, hand-rear.
Prepare a suitable bottle and goat milk formula with warm water. Feed small and often, about every 2-3 hours, since newborn kittens have fragile stomachs and small appetites.
