I was at my grandparents house yesterday and went the hay barn to check on some kittens he had up there. Well after i checked on them I started back to the house when my aunt and I kept hearing a kitten meowing and crying. We search and search and finally found this poor little kitten. We could see its face from a hole that was in a board. It was so sad. It only had one eye part of the way open, the other has completely closed and covered with nasty stuff.
anyways, we finally got the board cut and got this little kitten out. we have no idea where these kittens came from or anything. While we were trying to get this kitten out another kitten fell out of the hay barn. It fell about 7ft. I ran over and grabbed it and checked it out and got it started eating. it was starving. we got looking around some more to see if there was more or only these 2 and we found a third one. we also found the momma. momma wasnt alive. we have never seen this cat before. my grandpa has not a clue where she came from. anyways, i said i would bring these kittens home and try to get them healthy again. When i got home i got the little ones eyes cleaned up and now both are completely open and look great. these kittens are about the size of my kittens that are only 1 1/2 weeks old. i am guessing that these kittens are between 3-4 weeks old. they are all walking around pretty good and they can go potty on there own. they will also drink from a little bowl and eat canned food.
so my question to you all is should i just keep giving them milk replacement and canned food? How long should i wait before giving them to good homes? I think i should keep them until i think they are about ten weeks old but since they dont have a momma anymore i dont know if i can give them away sooner or not. keep in mind my husband wasnt thrilled when he came home to three more kittens.
BTW Sponges kittens are doing great. They are so big. They are actually a little bigger than these little guys but i think its b/c these kittens have been starving and everything. if anyone has any advice at all plz let me know. Also, i tried to see if Sponge may take them in and be a momma to them but she would only hiss and slap at them. so i got them away from her.
