My boss/co-worker lives on several acres of wooded area. Last night his family found 6 kittens (umbilical cords still attached so thinking very very newborn), one was dead already and the rest were rather cold. So they get a heating pad and some blankets and in the process of getting them warm another has died. They call around and find kitten milk formula (not exactly close to any place) and by the time they get the formula and find a syringe small enough to feed them another has passed. Over night (they are waking up every 2 hours to feed them. They have a 16 year old son that is allergic to cats that is putting on latex gloves and getting up to feed them) they lose another so they are down to 2 kittens - however both of these kittens are feeding rather well.
So they are wondering will the humane society take them in? I ask here because it's not open yet but in case it doesn't do shelters generally take in newborn kittens? They have no idea what to do with them because they're so young. Worse case scenario they will bring the remaining two into the office next week so we can make sure they get fed every 2 hours.
I would offer to take them home but not sure how my three male cats (well technically one is still a kitten) would react.
