Babies!!

[Bkitty]

My hubby just called me and went out on the river to do some night fishing. He stumbled upon a sac of half drowned kittens-3 of them. He rescued them and is on his way home. He says they are fiesty and wet and look hungry. They look to be about 4-5days old. I ran to Petco and bought bottles and milk replacement and a cage. Im am going to have my hands full nursing them. Please what else is there that I need to know? I hope I can save them and then get them a good home. My heart is broken who would do such a thing?!!! Any advice is appreciated.

be sure to dry them thoroughly....it will be a miracle if they don't catch pneumonia...poor little critters....dry and keep them warm, than get some formula into them....wish I was there to help :)

OMGGGGGG are you ever going to have your hands full!!!! but good on you for trying to rescue these poor little ones, gull dang that makes my blood boil that ppl can be so heartless to leave babies die this way....how cruel are we?
heres a good site Bkitty...with some great info. keep them warm with a WARM hotwater bottle in a smallish box for a bed, they need to huddle. you'll need to be feeding every couple hours for awhile(yikes) b/c they'll take such a little bit at a time.....see how tonight goes for you all, tomorrow check in and I can list a few supplements they should be getting too...meanwhile read these instructions and take it an hour at a time, I'm sure rootin for you all ♥
p.s. dropper will actually work better, you can be more in control of how fast they are getting the formula...has to be done slowly so not to aspirate...good luck girl
