There is a Yahoo Assist Feeding group. http://pets.groups.yahoo.com/group/Feline-Assisted-Feeding/
When you join you will received several files explaining how to safely assist feed. I've used syringes, a baby spoon and a finger for different kitties. You just need to find a method that works for you and your kitty.
