Cradle cap is an inflammatory skin condition that typically appears on a baby s scalp. Well done for rescuing this poor kitten but i think a vet appointment is essential.

Keeping the kittens confined to an area where you can clean and disinfect easily one part chlorax to10 parts water would be best. If he is only six weeks old very skinny and was covered in fleas he could also be anaemic.
