I am including a link to a handout below which has a recipe for making homemade kitten formula as well as taking care of an orphan kitten in general. https://www.vin.com/apputil/project/defaultadv1.aspx?pId=19239&SAId=1&id=4951456 If Mushy if 3 weeks old, you can also try canned kitten food and/or soaking dry kitten food in milk to see if she will eat those. Good luck! I hope that was helpful. Thanks for using PetCoach.
