In the parking of my building, I saw a small newborn cat, very weak and hardly moving, almost dead looking. I thought it was a stray. Today again it was present and squeaking.

I put milk and pieces of bread on a small low plate but the cat seemed to go away from the food. It has some sort of injury to its back legs I suspect.
The whole parking is totally cement, no food source whatsoever, so I suspect that it is without food for 2-3 days.

I had no luck in feeding it, searched for some pet care centre or animal shelter on the net but none were found, I am in Dubai. All of them are on the other corner of Dubai while I am on the other corner.

ANyody can give some tips and a address for a animal shelter? Is there any government service for this?

@Awesome...

Urgent please, I suspect it is going to die by the looks of it.

Feed it raw meat....
Wild cats who have never been domesticated rarely drink milk...
Try throwing a lump of meat for it... And water in a bowl...

It's only a couple of days old I suspect, will it eat meat?

Do cats eat fish?

make sound with your tongue touching your teeth and lower one of your hand toward the cat (give a loving look like you do if you see some one you love. animals can read our eyes), the cat will response to you.

i am not joking , i had many cats as pet

Do cats eat fish?

Yes they do...We feed out cats fish all the time....I used to give small pieces of cheese and egg to our 2 months old kitten...usually the mother cat is always around before that so no idea what to feed a new born :unsure:

kittens are usually copy cats....no seriously, I remember my kittens used to follow our feet around the house, and a few times nearly got squashed by my mom :blink:

When kittens are born, they usually nurse every few hours -- and when they are not nursing, they're sleeping. Some kittens may nurse more than others, and kittens within a litter may nurse at different times. Kittens will continually nurse until they are approximately three weeks of age; at this time, their teeth begin to erupt, and they are ready to begin eating small amounts of moist kitten food. At first, kittens should be offered soft kitten food, or dry kitten food that has been soaked in water. Food should be placed in a shallow pan for easier access. Once the kittens notice their mother eating the food, they will try to eat it, too.

it drinks power milk (mixing with water), little kitty loves it .
 
I don't think you guys are understanding it, it ain't a month old kitten.

It seems very newborn. There part of it's back legs is still without hair. The cat could sort of fit onto the open palm of my hand. It's VERY VERY VERY weak, doesn't move much either.
@Talon, yeah it is cow milk. What do you suggest? Plain water and some fish?

Determine the age of the kitten to see if he or she needs to be bottle-fed or can start immediately on soft food:
Eyes closed, ears folded over - kitten is 1 - 14 days old
Eyes are open, kitten moves around but is wobbly - 2 - 3 weeks old
Eyes are open, ears up, can walk around - 3 - 4 weeks old
Running around and is difficult or impossible to catch - 4 - 8 weeks old or older.
1 - 3 weeks old - will need to be bottle-fed.
3 weeks and older - can be offered soft food, but may need to be bottle-fed.

try buying goats milk and have a look at the site @Parul posted above your post....at the bottom of the site it shows how to prepare artificial kitten meal...
