I don't know what you are looking for in the way of help, D Dino123 , but hoping others will be able to help you. Please spay/neuter your cats and kittens when medically recommended. Do not add to feline overpopulation as there are not enough good homes for them. And keep them indoors only. Do not let them out.My cat gave birth to 4kittens they're 1 week old. She went out of the house and it's been 4hrs now. It's really late at night. I don't know what to do! Pls please help

What about the kittens will they survive for more 6hrs. The shops won't open until then or even the vet. Is there anything I can give them so they survivemight be a good idea to begin reading up on how to bottle feed new born kittens along with finding fosters near you that have the space to take the kittens or help you out with advice on how to care for em far as your cat all you can do is expect the worst and hope for the best along with maybe getting outside and looking for your cat in the mean time hope she makes it back safe and you keep her inside if/when she does
Healthy kittens should survive the night. During the time, you can always try to give them some droplets of water from your fingers. Be sure they are warm and comfortable, as momma isnt there to warm up them.Will they survive the night? How long can they go without mother's milk?? We don't even have any alternative

Hii I got great news after 5hrs and me having 3 mental breakdowns Mama cat is back!First, take a deep breath and calm down. You cannot help the kittens if you are frantic.
They need to be kept warm because they are too young to regulate their temperature. Fill a sock with dry rice, tie shut, and heat in microwave for a few minutes. It should feel pleasantly warm against your wrist, not hot. The kittens can snuggle with this, it will stay warm for a while, then need another pass through the microwave to re-warm.
A towel over the kittens will help retain the heat better than open to the air.
Keep calling outside for the mother cat.
You can rub a little honey on each kitten's gums for quick energy. Just get a dab on your finger tip, gently open their mouth, smear, go on to next kitten. Occasional, not every few minutes.
Tomorrow, fortunately a weekday, get KMR kitten milk replacer.Powder that you mix is better than pre-mixed. Also feeding bottles and nipples. You might also want to get some syringes without needles in case kittens have trouble nursing from bottle.
Keep looking for mother cat.
My thoughts will be with you, hoping for a positive update, h*ll, for any and all updates.

Excellent. Make SURE she stays indoors.Hii I got great news after 5hrs and me having 3 mental breakdowns Mama cat is back!
Thankyou so much for your help I'll ensure she stays indoors. Actually she's a stray cat and this is the 1st time I'm taking care of a cat that's why I was panicking. We had a dog which passed away a few months ago. Then this cat started coming by we fed her and we noticed she was pregnant and as she's a strays she's a bit hard to keep indoors we always try but as soon as she gets a chance she runs outside. Now I'll properly keep an eye on her.Excellent. Make SURE she stays indoors.
It helps if there is another door between your cat and the door leading outside when you have to come in and out. And if possible, if you can terminate the pregnancy it would be a kindness, and spay her. Many cats and kittens worldwide are without loving homes. It is so important not to add to this number. Cats, like us, are mammals, highly intelligent and sensitive, and with complex feelings and needs. For me, cats have always been family members, never "pets" and they deserve the best possible loving life homes and care.T

Absolutely YES. They need to be nourished. Mom will continue her role as milkbar when she returns. But please do everything you can to keep her in. What a beautiful little family!
