newborn kittens, HELP!!

Post by jasmine28 »

I found two newborn kittens in my yard. They were freezing since it it snowing outside and I brought them in to warm them up. I do not know which of our cats is the mother and no cats have been up here looking for them. I do not think the mother knows how to care for them and does not want to since she has not been looking for them. They are hungry and I think they might have been out there a while and I do not know what to do. I do not want them to die but I have no idea what to do.

If you can, get the kitties to a vet ASAP. Also, you'll need to buy some kitten formula from the petstore to feed them with. Keep them warm. I'm sure others here will be able to tell you more.
