My mom just called me from work, and a woman that she worked with wanted to know if I could bottle feed some kittens. Her husband went fishing today and found 3 tiny kittens in a plastic bag that someone had dumped off to drown!
I've bottle fed puppies before, but they were much older than these kittens. The woman says that she thinks they are only a few days old if that. I don't know much about taking care of some so tiny, so any advice would be much appriciated.
They are supposed to arrive in a couple of hours. I've got everything set up for them in a large dog crate that is in my spare room. Of course, none of the other animals in the house will be allowed access to the room that the kittens are in.
Is KMR enough for such tiny kittens?? What else should I have to be prepared for them? I know I have a lot of work ahead of me.
Hubby isn't very happy at all about us taking them in (we probably have too many animals as it is), so I'm doing what I can to keep them here until they are ready to find forever homes.
I don't know if I could even attempt this without the support of tcs!
