This is a bit of a strange question....but here goes.
When someone with no experience is thrust into this situation, what do you think is the best course of action for them? Learn as they go? Try to find a mentor with experience (even if it is just online, although obviously the best scenario would be a veterinarian)? If they can't find a personal mentor, is there enough information out there online and in books, such as your Kittens for Dummies, to guide them through the process of hand-rearing kittens? Or would it be better for them to hand over the kittens to a rescue group, vet or shelter?
I haven't had this situation come up personally, but I am part of two rescue resource websites and we do get emails from people requesting assistance.
