FOR NEWBORN KITTENS
Go get KMR liquid (or powder) and some baby bottles at the pet store. Heat up a pin and puncture the nipple. Make sure formula is able to get through. They're usually in the same area. Feed these poor babies every 3 hours. Make sure the formula is at room temperature. Once they're done, you'll need to stimulate them to pee and poo. To do that, take a cotton ball and gently rub near their rectum. Do this until they either pee, poo or both.
Keep them in a box with a hot water bottle or heating pad (on low) covered with a towel. A wind up alarm clock will simulate the mother's heartbeat.
FOR OLDER KITTENS
Get a can of liquid KMR along with premium canned kitten food. Mix a half can of the food with some KMR till it's mushy. Put it in a saucer, take a bit of the mixture and put it on their tongue. Then guide them to the dish. It'll be messy but they'll be hungry, trust me.
A litterbox of clay litter is best, as kittens tend to groom their paws. Scoopable litter will cause a blockage in their digestive tract and can be fatal.
Make sure they have plenty of dry premium kitten kibble and give them the other mixture once or twice a day. Don't forget to give them water too.
Hope this helps. Any questions, call me. I'll PM you with my #.
