Dumpster Kittens(pictures)

These are the two kittens I found in the Dumpster near my house. Poor little things don't even look like their from the same litter or the same age but they will not separate. They cuddle and eat and sleep together. So sweet. Any advice on what to do with the babes? I'm gunna see if my mama cat will take them in and treat them like her kittens. Please leave me any advice you might have on introducing them to my cat.

I have seen this so many times but I can't help but think, who the heck can do something like this?  Bless you for taking them in.  Usually younger kittens do ok with mamma cats but it just depends.  Try to have her peek through a cracked door and give food to both, then see what her reaction is.  Also helps to wipe the kittens with something that has her scent on it.  Hard to tell without looking at teeth and feeling them but I would guess they are around 6 weeks old.  How old is your mamma's kittens?

A lot of respect for someone that takes care of those in need.

I hope they are not scared of people. THey are at a prime age to find a good home. Just gotta take care of the fleas!

Good luck awesome person.

My mama's kittens are 4 weeks old tomorrow, happy and healthy. These kittens are around 5-8 weeks old. The black one is half the size of the grey one so i don't think their even from the same litter. Mama is so loving and lets everything and everyone go and play with her babies and touch her she has never ever been violent to anything so i think she will take to them quickly. I really hope she does that way I know they will be okay until I can find them homes. Poor babies :'[ it's super hot here to and now its raining and overcast so if they were out there for much longer they could've cooked from the heat or gotten soaking wet from the rain. Poor little ones :[

If they are eating solid food, I would not introduce them to your other cats right away. They could have a number of things that could be transmitted to your cats and make them sick. I would quarantine them in a seperate room and have them vet checked before introducing them. Bless your heart for taking them in, I don't know what kind of person treats animals like trash

Yes vet check for deworming and fiv/FeLuk is a must.  I have found a stray mother with kittens in which the male was literally twice as big as the female so it can happen, the only way to know is to have the vet check the teeth. 

I just got home from the vet, she said that kittens are healthy, more likely the people just didn't want them anymore and threw them out after having them for a couple days. She said the black one is 4 weeks old and the grey/blonde one is 6 weeks. She dewormed them and said it would be a good idea to see if my mama would take to them. I'm gunna try it tonight and see if she will allow them to sleep with her. I think she will, but i don't want to be surprised if she doesn't in the end.

Awww they are so cute!!!!! People can be so cruel... I'd like to throw them in a dumpster!!!! It makes me so sick to my stomach!!!! I'm SO glad you found them and took them in! You're awesome

Agree.  I'd keep them separate for a couple of weeks.  See you have had the vet check them, which is great.  Once it's clear they don't have any sneezes or sniffles then if mum cat is happy to let them mix they will enjoy it.

And so glad you have taken them in.

Here are some updated pictures of the dumpster kittens yesterday :] the little black one has food stuck on her face from chowin down on her wet food for the night before bed time :]

Very sweet kittens.  Is the black a boy or a girl?

Their both little girls :] Still no homes for them though :'[

I love them!!!

I love them more!! Haha how are your kittens doing? Must be crazy with all those kittens running around! Right now I have SEVEN cat's and kittens in my one bedroom apartment as I'm moving out! Plus Ruger! Hahaha. My life is INSANE, I can just imagine how yours is.

They're doing great! They're not walking yet, just scooting around! Lol all of ones litter have their eyes open as of a few days ago except for one still has to open theirs, and the other litter, none of them have opened theirs yet, but any day now since they just turned a week old. It's going to be insane when they start walking, but fun at the same time! LOL. I am moving soon too! I am currently living back with my parents cause I had a house fire last fall, and my new house is just now beginning to be put together... Just a couple more weeks! Can't wait

Oh wow! Thats insane a house fire! How scary :[ I wish you the best of luck with moving with all those kittens and I'm very glad you are on your way back to having your own home :]

Thank you very much and best of luck to you on your move yourself! Hope after all the moving and arranging you will have the time to keep us posted on those beauties of yours

Erwinhead - how are your kitties doing??
