Newborn kittens found

My daughters husband called her this am and told her they found 3 newborn kittens, cold and nearly dead in a front end loader at his work. A nasty thunderstorm was on the way, so she took the babies and now has them at home near the woodsove, they have been fed and are warm.

We are no stranger to cats having reared our Farley V from this stage many years ago. They are on heated rice pacs.

She has the KMR but is not sure how much each should be having. She is well equiped to handle them for we have had cats for years.

Any encouragement is appreciated. The minute she brought them in the house, her cat, Timmi, attacked my daughter when she heard the kittens cries. They are in a cage in a box safe from Timmi. Poor Mo had blood running down her legs. Timmi is in cellar for the time being. Don't worry, no harm will come to the babies, She will see to that!

Thanks so much.

Jolly well done by you all! Real good teamwork!
(save Tammi of course, off to the corner with you and you can have shame on you there!)


How much? In the beginning (first 2-3 times) perhaps not too much as they perhaps did starved some already before.

But usually the problem solves itself I think. If they eat (hopefully), they eat till they are content.

If you can lay with them something resembling a mom. Perhaps a teddy bear?
Or even a nice towel with such a warm rice padding inside.

the site www.kitten-rescue.com, by our veteran Hissy behind it, is still working, I hope.

Lets have the best hopes!


Good luck!

Bless your daughter and her husband for taking these little ones in. Best of luck to her and the kittens!

AWWW, good luck! I hope they make it!

Bless your daughter and her husband for taking in those babies! Sending my jingles your way!

As far as how much KMR, I have always gone with as much as they will take, usually you have to force it into them when first found anyway.

Hissy has a feeding schedule on the site Stefan posted
