My kitten has been home for over 10 days; I force-fed it at first but it took some, then after about 4-5 days it stopped resisting and started drinking, but today it won’t drink at all – it vomits whatever I feed and resists strongly
A kitten refusing milk may result from environmental change, digestive issues, or illness. Kittens are very sensitive to new environments and have fragile digestion; overeating or wrong foods cause indigestion and refusal to nurse. It may also be sick, so watch for other abnormal signs and treat accordingly.

Why does a cat keep rolling on the floor? Cats can't speak, so they express emotions through behavior, and rolling is one such signal, but the reason differs by situation. Our pet care specialists detail the reasons.
My cat sleeps too much and is barely awake—what should I do?
If healthy with normal eating and litter, lots of sleep is normal: adults average 12-14h, kittens and seniors near 20h, so three-quarters of the day is sleep.

What happens if a kitten gets feline panleukopenia (cat plague)?
Panleukopenia is highly contagious and often fatal, infecting cats.

Take to a vet at once; no specific cure, only supportive and symptomatic care to boost immunity.

Since its eyes are not open, avoid hasty medication; feed kitten-specific goat milk formula every two hours by hand. A stray kitten that ate little having little excretion is normal, but such motherless kittens are hard to keep alive and need patient care; with many problems, take it to a vet.
Why Won’t a Kitten Stop Meowing?
