Tips on how to take care of premature newborn kittens

Tips

 * The gestation period for kittens is around 63-69 days, so kittens born earlier than 63 days are considered premature.

Premature kittens tend to weigh less than 3.3 ounces, have sparse fur, and look smaller than normal newborn kittens.

Warnings

 * Raising premature kittens is hard work, but it is very rewarding as well. Do your best, but try not to be too disappointed if you lose a kitten along the way. If you are concerned about your ability to care for premature newborn kittens, contact your veterinarian or local animal shelter for help.
 * Do not immerse a newborn kitten in water. If a kitten gets dirty, use a washcloth moistened with warm water and dry off the kitten with a clean dry towel right away.
