Today I found two kittens lying in the grass, crying like crazy, all rained on and full of mud, cold... They're around one month each.. And apparently their mother got hit by a car and died... So I took them in and they are now in a cozy fur filled box. I need to find out more about how to take care of them and what I should do.. If any of you know, please tell me.. Thank you in advance.
Make sure they get their boosters and to be dewormed and when old enough (4 months +) please get them spayed/neutered-that will increase their chances of getting adopted. IF you are using a medicated bath soap to rid them of fleas, be sure to read the directions because some of those medicated bath soaps and shampoos are very toxic to young kittens except for in small amounts.
If you have any more questions or concerns, feel free to ask, I have fostered lots of cats ranging in ages though I tend to stick with kittens 5 weeks +, you can ask me anything on adoption preparations and training methods, plus normal behavior signs of kittens if they seem to be acting weird or not.
Sorry if it feels as if I am talking down to you as if you don't know anything, I am writing everything based on the assumption that you have experience with either only older cats or no prior cat experience, that just helps make sure that no information is left out. =^.^=
Good luck to you new kitten owner, I can tell that they are in safe hands and very glad that you decided to take them in.
good luck! asking a vet would be the best thing, but make sure they're hydrated for tonight
put a tiny bit of salt, and sugar into warm water and syringe them that, it's better than nothing
and just keep them nice and warm.
After that, you could go to a petstore and ask them what you need to do. You can get milk that has the right nutrients for kittens and you can probably get feeding bottles, too.
Once they get older, wean them onto wet food and then slowly onto dry food. If you're gong to permanently take them into your care, you're a wonderful person. <3
