Introducing Bill and Ben. They are about 3 1/2 weeks old and both males. They were found right next to a dumpster near some shops last night. I suspect someone was going to put them IN it but just couldn't bring themselves to do it.
The vet hospital asked the owner to go and check the area in case there were more kittens and I asked them to ring her back and ask her to check in the dumpster just in case but there were no more kittens.

They had the worst flea infestation I have ever seen. The vet hospital had sprayed them all over with Frontline, so I bathed them as soon as I got home and got it all off. I then applied the right dose of KITTEN STRENGTH Frontline drops. The fleas were trying to abandon ship so I spent the next 1 1/2 hours picking fleas off them. I got about 50 but that seemed like only half of them. This morning, their box was full of dead fleas and no more on the kittens. They are very wormy, so I wormed them this morning. Poor little darlings have had such an assault of chemicals!

They are very thin and Ben is a little weak but they're doing well. Bill loves the formula and I'm tube-feeding Ben as he's refusing to feed.

They are so cute cuddled together like that. It looks like they are going to be tough to separate!!! I hope they start feeling better soon!

Good luck with them. I will watch their progress with interest, seeing as I got my boys in similar circumstances! They are so lucky to have ended up with you.

Oh my, but they're precious!
I'm sure they'll rally now that they're under your care!

How precious! Prayers that they grow big and strong, and survive the fight to get rid of all the pests that are draining their strength. Bill and Ben are so cute! Thank you for caring for these precious little boys!

Thank you for all your good wishes. Bill and Ben are getting much better. They're both feeding really well and gaining strength. I've had to separate them as they're suckling on each other's bottom (a common side-effect when kittens lose their Mum) but they get lots of supervised play time together.

Apologies for the poor quality of the pics - they're very wiggly!
