Firstly, how old are your kittens? Secondly, is the mother showing any other signs of neglect or abuse - is she hurting them in any way? Thirdly, how long has this been going on for?

Is this an abandoned cat you found as a stray and have taken in? Or your cat that got pregnant and now you have a litter to care for? Were there other kittens in the litter or just the three? And what do you mean by limited resources?

We really need some more information and then there are plenty of people here who can give you some advice.

First of all, calm down. I know it is an emergency and I know you are breathing hard right now, but try to get a grip.

OK, if Momma is killing the babies, then she is either too young to know instinctively what to do or else there is something wrong with the babies - do not give baby cats human baby formula. I realize it is late, but I did find a 24 hour number for an emergency vet for you in Louisville:

AAA All County 24 Hr Animal Emergency Hotline
4504 Outer Loop
Louisville, KY 40219-3857 Phone: (502) 969-9900

There is also another Emergency listing there in Lexington:

A A Small Animal Emergency Service

200 Southland Dr
Lexington, KY 40503-1929 Phone: (859) 276-2505

Have you tried either of these?

You need a vets advice. Especially if the mother is killing the babies.

We're here to help but we are NOT vets.

I see Gaye has very kindly give you some vets numbers. Good luck.

Please take Gaye's advice and call these numbers as soon as you can - and she is right, too, about you needing to calm down. You will not be able to think clearly, panicking the way you are. Sam is also right in saying that we are NOT vets and that this matter is too urgent for you to be trying to handle without veterinary assistance. Please keep us posted but do not spend time on this site that you could be spending tending to this situation. Best of luck and hopefully everything will turn out all right.

Also....it would be a good idea to talk to the vet about getting the mom spayed.
