They need a vet, if you care for these kittens you will find a way for a vet to see them. You could lose them as they sound like they have been in a fight and could die from infection.

Let the vets know the situation when you call for the appointment. Then ask the people who are willing to adopt the kittens to help you with the vet bill. The kittens probably need an antibiotic right away to have any chance of survival.

Call the foster agencies, too. They will have some good ideas to help.
