Hello someone dumped a pregnant cat at my house she had 5 kittens but only has 3 nippels that petrude enough for the kittens to suck the others are like flat skin that I can not see any nipple at all. There is milk in them but no way for the kittens to suck them. I don't know what to do. Any ideas I do not have money for a vet. She was dumped and I have not been able to rehome her and now have 5 kittens to try and rehome also.

Can you get small syringes with no needle and KMR (no hartz or sergeants) or goats milk (people here always say raw is best? You may need those items but for now...

How old are the kittens?

You will need to rotate the kittens - 3 in and 2 out, then switch every 2 hours.

Or you can supplement with kitten formula. Once we know how old the kittens are we can tell you more.

Do you have a kitchen scale to weigh the kittens?

Do you know how to feed? We can tell you.

You need to be feeding the mama cat lots of wet food and kitten chow to help her make milk.

How long have you had them?
