How to help your clients care for a new-born kitten🐱 Navigating through raising a healthy kitten and interpreting their behavior can be challenging. Here are 3 insights that can help owners take better care of a new-born kitten: Keeping their body temperature regulated is essential ➡️ Encourage pet owners to check if the kitten is cold by touching their paws or the tips of their ears. Cats instinctively know how to raise their young, implementing the necessary actions at the right stages of development ➡️ If the mother is present, advocate for owners to take a step back. A kitten’s feeding habits change week by week and as they grow. ➡️ Advise owners on the correct schedule to promote a kitten's healthy growth.
