Hi every one

today i want to share my story with you, and i hope that you will give some advice to save these three orphaned kittens

my sister found the first two about three weeks when i was away at college ago when their mom left them for dead they had their eyes closed so i say they are probably 4 weeks old now

as i said i was away from home and my sister told that my parent didn't let her feed them often and she had to sneak behind them and feed the kittens but not as often as it should have been maybe she fed them once or twice a day at best.

i am contuuig to feed them now with her and i conviced my parents to let us save them, we are feeding them warm milk every 3 to 4 hours.

the poor third one i found him yesterday left for dead near the house he has his eyes and ears closed still, but he is very loud and active every time i touch him he tries to get out of the box, we are feeding him with the other two in the same rate.

i want to say that i cant go to the vet because i dont have the money for it and my parents wont give+ we are using warm botled milk because they dont sell kittens milk where i live.

any advice to save thes three ? tommorow morning i will post photos of them.

i apologize ahead for any grammar or spelling mistakes in my thread.

Is goat's milk available? Most cats are lactose intolerant and cannot drink cow's milk.

They will need a vet check up eventually. What's the plan? Are your parents going to let you keep them? If not it would be bestcto look for a no kill shelter for them asap, so they can get medical care.

Where do you live? The main reason for the vet visit is to have the kittens sterilized (spayed or neutered) so they can't create more kittens, and to have them vaccinated.

If no vet is available you will need to keep any females totally seperated from the males while the females are in heat.

You don't want to have more unwanted kittens born, especially if the father/mother are brother and sister.

Are they going to be outside only, or indoor cats?

Unfortunately, Mohammed we cannot give you veterinary advice. If you have no animal hospital or veterinarian that the cats can see there is not much we can do.

If they are sick they need medical attention. If you have no access to that, well do the best you can and pray.

Oh no that's so horrible. Just know you have done everything you can do with what you have access to. They know you love them and if the little one passes. They had a better short life loved then a longer life not fed and loved.

I'm sorry to hear it.  You were good to try and rescue them.

You and your sister did everything that you could do for those babies. The most important was that you gave them love and food. They were so happy because of the love you gave them. Even though their lives were short like my 3 boys with FIP...they knew you all loved them very much!
