Making a Comfy Home
Kittens can get cold easily, which can be life-threatening. From the moment you find them, keep the kittens warm and watch out for signs of chilling (i.e., listlessness and cool to the touch).
Neonatal kittens cannot control their own body temperature until they are at least 3 weeks old.
At home, build a soft nest with a heating pad that is completely covered with a blanket or towel. Kittens can overheat so make sure to keep heading pad on the lowest heat setting, and make sure that kittens can move away from the heat if they want. Change the bedding daily or as needed if they have accidents.
