Newborn kitten

[Folly's place]

All good advice so far!
Heating pad set low, with towels on top to prevent burns. Some pads go off automatically, not helpful. And burns do happen, so be careful.
Feeding a cold kitten isn't good, water, warm ,but not formula. Do you have kitten formula? Cow's mild is totally inadequate.
It's all too easy to have aspiration when feeding with a syringe, and little babies like she is don't live through it. Most veterinary clinics will take this foundling, and will know who can best raise her. Also, single orphaned kittens don't develop good social skills, they need littermates, at least, to grow up 'normal'.
All the best for you taking care of this baby!

Most areas have pet a rescue where often times they have experienced people who will foster the animal. If there are any vets in your area, they may know. Good luck...

Maybe your area feed stores may also know such as a Tractor Supply store. Many now have clinics on the premises.

Hoping your little rescue made it through the night. Just wanted to say that respiratory infections in animals are highly contagious. If you haven't already, keep this kitten quarantined from any other animals and make sure you wash your hands after handling. As others have mentioned, many vets will assist with getting the kitten to a certified rescue.

God bless you for saving him/her. Karma always repays kindness.

Hi everyone, sadly the kitten did pass away last night. We rushed him to a 24 hour vet but there was nothing they could do. He passed away peacefully and with all the warmth in the world. Thank you for all of the advice, unfortunately, the vet said that it had been sick most likely since birth. It now makes sense why the mother never came back. I tried my best and gave it a full tummy and a warm home for its’ last days.

I am so sorry, you tried your very best and it was a lovely thing to do, taking him in. What short life he had at least he knew kindness and warmth.
