Is it safe for a 2-week-old orphaned kitten to go 7 hrs without milk?

Updated on September 23rd, 2025

Hello, i have an orphaned kitten at with me and she is doing great. I have been bottle feeding her for the past couple of hours with a time interval of 2-3 hours. However i have to leave to school tomorrow morning and i wont be back for 7 hours, and the kitty has to stay alone can she go that long without milk? the vet i visited today told me that she’s probably two weeks old

Unfortunately no, she cannot go that long without milk. I would see if you can have someone come in and feed her at least once or twice, or if you can come home to feed her once or twice. Best of luck
