Hi, I just stumbled across this forum when I was searching the internet. My best friend does rescue work and I have helped raise kittens from birth myself. I want to Applaud Dusty for all you are doing for these baby kittens. It is hard when they are so small and can pass on in seconds with little warning. We personally use a homemade recipe for formula but KMR is good too. If they don't get that colostrum in the first 24 hours they rarely make it. I will pray for these little kittens. Just make sure you rub the warm wet cottonball or papertowel on their behinds at least 3 times a day. If they don't eliminate it can be toxic to them. Warmth is very important until they are at least 3 weeks old, they cannot regulate their bodie temperature until then. Also their eyes can close again so don't get alarmed if they do. Sometimes a warm wet papertowel to open again. I will keep checking this thread so I can help if you have any questions along the way. Its not easy to raise orphaned kittens but it can be done and is so rewarding. Kudos to you.
