If there is a mother
Providing a warm and dry reward, such as a cardboard box with a clean blanket, to protect the little ones from the cold in the winter, which is equivalent to a good identity. Do not carry young children or take them in pain during the first week of birth, unless necessary, and cover them very gently.
Because of the mother’s fear for her children, she prefers to starve rather than stay away from them. Food and water must be provided and a sandbox beside the mother.
To help the little ones excrete, they only lick and clean the little ones, including the genital area and the anus, which stimulates their excretion.
If the mother is not present:
To warm the cats, a warm plastic water bottle is placed, not hot, covered with more than one layer of cloth so as not to touch the body of the young ones, and it is placed in one corner of the carton to provide an opportunity to hydrate their body in the rest of the corners.
Providing an alternative milk to breast milk - lactose-free - it is not recommended to offer cow's milk because it causes stomach disorders due to lactose.
In the case of extreme necessity, skimmed milk is used, diluted with water at a ratio of 1/4. Use the baroness designated for cats, the drop, or a thin syringe with a toothpick to breastfeed the young.
Hold the cat with one hand and raise the chin slightly when feeding the young, so that they do not choke. Cats should be well warmed using blankets and then milk should be provided to them. Providing the designated milk for the first two weeks every two hours for 3 hours.. Then the same period for 4 hours, with spending 6 hours in breast feeding during the sleep period at night.
Stimulating cats to excrete by massaging the abdomen after feeding and wiping the excretory area with a cloth dampened with warm water in one direction.. We do not recommend using cotton because it sticks to their hair.
At the age of one month to a month and a half, solid food for cats should be provided by mixing grains of it with milk and starting to provide water alongside food from this age, which is the best age for weaning cats.

How to choose cat food:
Dishes for food It is preferable to use metal or ceramic dishes and the cleanliness of the dishes must always be taken care of
Cat food There are many types of cat food from dry food, canned food, or regular home food. Ask the previous cat owner about the food they feed the cat or start accustoming it to a new type. Most cats love boiled chicken breasts.
Sandbox: There are many shapes and types of liter boxes, some of them are automatic, some are closed or open, and some are in strange and innovative shapes. The open box is easy for you to clean and makes it easier for the cat - entering and exiting the closed box. Smells gather inside and alienate the cat from the automatic box, so its cost is high and it can be damaged And often cats do not feel comfortable using it. The box must be cleaned of the cat’s litter first-hand so that it does not resort to spending its needs outside it. The age of the cat must be taken into account, as young cats need a low box to be able to enter it.
Litter for cats, you should choose an excellent type that absorbs odors and agglomerates well. Use non-medical litter for young cats because they may eat it and get hurt
The mobility box is very important for travel, transportation, and getting the cat out of the house or taking it to the vet.
Bed If you want to build the cat away from your bed, you must provide a bed for it, and some cats prefer to sleep in high places
