First time bathing a kitten

The other kittens in the background are like "holy crap Im next"

It breaks my heart to see this little angel meow and cry so loudly...but it was necessary to clean the fleas and dirt. The end of the video the kitten seemed so calm, clean and sleepy. Looked like a pretty baby once all clean! I really hope this little angel now has a good life and is receiving the love and care and delicious food.

Couple of tips from an experienced emergency foster: 1. You don't typically want to creat a bubble bath for kittens. It makes them more nervous because they can't see the bottom and it makes them feel vulnerable to water based preditors. Also, the sometimes try to bite the bubbles or drink the water. Since they are little, they can get diarrhea from this easily. If there is enough soap for bubble in the bath. If you are trying to kill fleas with the soap, there are other safer ways to do so. 2. Don't stop holding the kitten. If he panics and jumps you might not get him in time and he could fall out of the sink and get hurt. 3. Related to the previous statement. Hold or massage the back of the kittens neck during the bath. It will help to keep them calm. 4. If it's a stray, I recommend grooming gloves for the first bath. As you wash off any infection, blood, grime, poop, and fleas, it can get into any tiny scratches the kitten may give you. That's not safe. 5. Always have a latger pre-warmed towel for swaddling after drying a bit with a smaller rag. Also, a prewarmed bottle ready for after a bath. It will help to soothe the little one after the ordeal.

Kitten: "Siblings, help! The human is doing something to me I don't enjoy!" Kitten's Siblings: "Stop doing whatever you're doing to them!"

Rule no.1: don't fill the sink so much, the kitten thought he was in danger of drowning. The water is to go up to the kitten's stomach, no further. Be careful when washing the kitten's face, never splash water over his forehead, he needs his eyes to see. However, you kinda got the drying part right. Just take great care not to wrap the towel round the kitten too tightly, you didn't cover his head which was good. When drying off, let the kitten lie on top of the towel without you touching him. Let him calm himself down, and then gently rub him dry. That's the way to make sure the kitten is safe when washing and drying him.

He’s telling his siblings what’s going on 😂.

Kitten: "This sucks, doesn't it!?" Offscreen Kitten: "Yes, it does!"

The littley guy complains, but is also very patient. ❤

Looks like the cat needed it. Look at that water.

He so cute and his big ole eyes❤️

I love the thumbnail. The kitten is screaming "no! This can't be happening. I am adverse to water. Save me".😂

Do not wash their face- or get soap in eyes or use human shampoo.

He was filthy look at that water! Glad he's getting a good hot soapy bath !!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉

He is SPICY!!!!😂😂😂 He has moral support in the background.....😂😂😂❤❤

Little baby mewling melted my heart...❤❤❤

The kitties calling out for one another 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺♥️♥️♥️♥️

he is hungry. Always eat well after a bath!!❤❤❤

Awww, it looks so cute wrapped in that towel.

I love watching animals be bathed and cleaned. It's like I can see and feel the relief of being clean come over them. Especially after being dried off and fed. They just go to sleep..Clean and full🙂

I just love the sounds that kittens make. They're so cute. I've a tabby named BeBe Bleu. She's 1.5 years old & I've had her since she was 2 months. She warms my heart so much.

That’s a real bath, the poor kitty was filthy!! 😮😮 good job!!

Cats always bring a smile to my face! 😺

For such a tiny kitty, he sure was dirty! Look at that bath water! With our 3 month old kittens, we put warm water in the tub, about 3-4 inches, and then set them in the shallow end so they could explore first before the washing started. You know cats, they are so curious. We would talk very quietly to them and wash them while they snooped around, and before you know it, they seemed to be enjoying it. After that, we covered their faces with a dry wash rag, then a warm rinse and it was over. Surprisingly, our big Golden Retriever-Lab mix dog kept watch on the whole process and when it was her turn for a bath, both kittens jumped in with her to share the experience!

I mean no offence by this, but can people please read the title of this video "First Time Bathing A Kitten" I truly applaud you all for showing such kindness and attention to the tiny sweet Baby in this video, but I would please ask yourself to really think about this before posting a reply: How did you know the best way to wash a Kitten? Through online research? Experience? Asking a friend? Etc But what if you don't have that? Not everyone is experienced or fully knowledgeable on Animal Care, and some places just can't get or afford the right things to use. Here is a kind soul doing their best to take care of this Tiny Baby, showing love, gentleness and compassion. So PLEASE stop sending messages telling them off or making them sound stupid, we are adults here, so can we please act like them and just be happy that this Tiny Kitten is being loved and taken care of. I agree with one of the comments below that the Kitten wasn't enjoying the bath, but they were responding to the other Kitten who was calling out to them, they are very likely litter mates and were just worried as they didn't know where the other one was, notice how when one went quiet so did the other. I'm not having a go at anyone or saying you have no right to your own opinions as of course you do. I only ask that you try to be more understanding and caring towards the situation, and if you have to say something, then say it kindly. 🙂 Thank you and have a wonderful weekend! ❤️

Люблю тех людей,которые любят и спасают животных.Спасибо за неравнодушие!

Cute little Kitty

That Baby is SO tiny and Beautiful! Kittens will squeak a lot for their first baths, but you did very well! Handling them very gently and using just clean water to rinse the little one off after the first wash At the end seeing the Baby all wrapped up and ready to nap is the sweetest thing! ❤️😻

She's complaining the whole time. MEOW MEOW MEOW 😻

So clean now, he's tired of meowing 😂

Hiç yorulmadan miyavlarken, sevgi ve şevkat gördüğünden emin:)) teşekkürler insan sana sonsuz miyav❤

I'm now more convinced than ever that kittens are actually outerspace aliens sent here to dominate us with their cuteness.

This brings peace and calm. I loved it. Two adorable creatures, one of them, a human been.

i loved the final part, the baby kitten was rolled into a towel. His ears poped out of the towel😂

He looks just like my abandoned penguin. I call him big eye. He now knows his name. So cute.❤

Can we see a part 2 for this little fella?? How is he now?? That would be great❤

This cute little angel has the most unique fur pattern! 🥰

He's so cute and adorable.🥰 poor little kitty, he doesn't want to take a bath.

My goodness, looking at the bath water, the kitten needed bathing, what good care, gentle and thorough washing! Was the soap used a no-tears soap formula? Cute & tired after a wonderful spa day!

I think you did a fine job! They are babies and babies cry, sweet little angels are lucky to have you taking care of them ❤

Oh man he’s so adorable and helpless awe

Such huge eyes that cutie has, so sweet.

poor little monster ❤ he really needed that bath. but oh my goodness! he hated every second of it and sure did let you know. nice ending, watching him wrapped up like a burrito and slowly falling asleep.

The little cat was probably uncomfortable but he/she was very brave 🐈

That was the best kitty bath I ever saw! Bravo! 👏

you did a great job bathing the little guy. he was really cute🥰

Little cute sweet angel baby Kitten Bless the cat and hope It Has a Loving life Sending love and happiness

He was excessive with the bathing. I was so glad when he put him in the clean water. He look so cozy in the towel.

Oh lord!...I have had a half dozen cats, and only one of them ever needed a thorough bathing. Most of mine lived their entire life without needing one. They were all indoor cats. The one that got bathed was the very first kitten, who was found roaming the streets. It killed me to hear it's cries.

Какая неописуемая прелесть ! Да и чистенькая при том ❤❤❤

His eyes are so cute he has an angry little meow❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hermoso gatito gracias por ayudarlo 👍👍👍

That kitten is so adorable!!!!!❤

Such an adorable kitten. It brings me nostalgia since my kitten died..

Im a cat mommy. You can talk to the kitty & re-assure it. That everything is ok. They do understand. When washing the kittens face avoid the water going in their eyes it scares them. 😻

Awwww. My girl cat, Skittles Marie, is looking around the apartment for kittens! 😂😂😂😂

Classical music and kittens are absolutely amazing and funny! But it's amazing too !!

Qué bien nos ha enseñado este video como hay que bañar a un gatito bebé que nos encontremos abandonado o perdido 😊😊❤❤

А какой стал красивый после купания.😊

This kitty did really well in a first bath. I was surprised the water darkened as much as it did given how tiny the bather was. Best wishes to this kitty starting on life's journey and her human caretaker.

I know am late but I j ust want to say that I want to hug it and make it feel warm and fall asleep. It's so cuteeeee❤❤❤

His little eyes are so cute. He's got an angry litte meow.

Such a sweet furbaby 🐾💗

This was the most thorough kitten bath I've ever seen 😂 Attention to detail is commendable!

So cute 🥰 ❤😊

какой пупсик милый!!после мытья сразу спатинькать))

Simplemente hermoso❤

I still haven’t given my baby cat a bath. Since I got her almost ten years ago, but she’s so soft and cleans herself on a regular basis.

Кричит другим котятам: " Господи! Меня хотят утопить!"

Comme toujours et comme pour les bébés on prend la température de l'eau avec un thermomètre ou si on n'en n'a pas avec LE COUDE ! La main supporte de l'eau très chaude ! Trop chaude souvent !!!!!!!

Perfect job! That kitten had fleas and was truly in need of your healing hands! Great job, bravo! You couldn't have done it better. Don't ever let anyone tell you otherwise! 😊

The one in the back " shut up im trying to sleep " lol

Taki malutki a tak głośno krzyczy, że mu się straszna krzywda dzieje. Roszkoszne maleństwo : )

Too adorable 😊

I know some cats love water, but why cat owners force their cats into baths is beyond me, cat clean themselves perfectly fine without baths. To me, forcing your cat to take a bath is just abusive.

When I was little, we got two kittens. Both breeds known to like water, a manx and a bengal. About a week after we got them, they were dirty because they hadn't gotten the hang of grooming yet so they got a bath. It was cold that day and we made sure the water was nice and warm. The manx, hated it. She glared around at the water, occasionally hissing at it. The bengal on the other hand. He lowered himself until only his nose poked out of the water, closed his eyes and purred.

Cats are the cutest animals in the world 😍😍😍😊😊😊❤❤❤

Omg it’s the cutest little thing ❤❤❤

Маленький чумазый ушастик! 😊 А грозный какой!

so cute kitty

Obviously this kitten needed cleaning judging by the colour of the water, but that didn't stop me crying. Thank for showing it drying, that was some consolation.
