I'm a first-time owner. What care does my 1-month-old kitten need?

Question

Hello I have a baby kitten she will be a month on May 27th I just want to make sure I’m taking care of her right. I bought KMR formula for her and I help use the bathroom by rubbing her area with a damp whip. Is there anything els I need to be educated on about her this is my first kitten.

It sounds like you are on the right track! I would recommend bringing her into a vet soon if you haven't already, for her first checkup, deworming and round of shots (abandoned kittens that don't get mother's milk may need their first vaccination a bit earlier than usual since they don't have the antibodies they'd get from nursing). Introducing her to a litter box once she gets a little bit older is also a good next step, as well as starting her on a mash of solid food and milk replacer to start weaning her. If you're still having trouble with how to care for her, talking with your local humane society is a great idea- they often have orphaned kitten programs and may be able to offer a class or other help in helping Princess grow up healthy.
