48 hours ago my cat gave birth to 4 kittens. 3 have passed away despite round the clock care. I cant tell you how premature these guys were as they were a bit of a surprise to us. Kitten is feeding every hour to hour and half and taking about 1 ml of milk we've had a few wees and a bowl movement. he's got a heater and a blanket to keep him warm. I'm just wondering if anyone has any advise on looking after them as this is the first time we've had to do this.

Welcome, Holly. I am so very sorry about the kittens. I will have a mod move this to the Kitten Care Forum so you can get some expert advice on caring for your last kitten. Much luck, hun. :vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes::vibes:

If that's the kitten in your avatar, yeah, they're very premature!  Be prepared to have your heart broken, while you do your very best.

It's crucial the kitten be warm and fed regularly.  Kitten can't eat if they're even a little too cool.

I am very sorry for your loss.  They knew your love.  I am closing this thread.  When you feel better, you might consider posting a tribute on our Crossing the Bridge Forum pages.
