DO NOT attempt to feed them cow's milk. This is extremely harmful to kittens and can lead to diarrhea, dehydration, and even death.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Seek Professional Help:
- Contact a veterinarian or animal shelter immediately. They can assess the kittens' health and give you proper instructions.
- Find a local animal rescue organization. They can provide you with the necessary formula, supplies, and guidance.
2. Keep the Kittens Warm:
- Newborn kittens can't regulate their body temperature, so keep them warm with a heating pad (on low) or a warm towel.
3. Feeding:
- Kittens need specialized kitten formula. This can be purchased at pet stores or from veterinarians.
- Use a bottle specifically designed for kittens. You'll need to feed them every 2-3 hours, around the clock.
4. Stimulation:
- Newborn kittens need to be stimulated to urinate and defecate. You can use a warm, damp cotton ball or a soft cloth to gently rub their bottoms.
Important Notes:
* Never attempt to feed kittens solid food. Their digestive systems are too immature.
* Keep the kittens in a clean, safe environment. This means regular cleaning of their bedding and ensuring they are in a space free from drafts and hazards.
Remember, newborn kittens are incredibly fragile. By seeking professional help and following their instructions, you can give these kittens the best chance at survival and a healthy future.
