Thank you, Karen!
Will get started immediately with the steam idea (it works for us
humans). The female (who now seems to be getting better) always makes a
point of supervising the washing of the supper dishes (and even captures
the wet dishrag and presents it to us in the living room when the
kitchen light is turned out).
The weather here has been record-making hot and dry and possibly affects
them adversely --- "summer colds" are miserable.

Please be sure to see a vet as soon as possible, regardless. If they were
homeless, there's no way to tell what sorts of things they've been exposed
to, and some very basic tests should be done (FIV/FeLV), the basic
vaccinations, as well as spaying and neutering before you suddenly find
yourself with kittens needing a home. And check into your local laws
regarding stray animals. If animals are allowed outdoors and unattended in
your area, you should be aware of the various laws and penalties and whatnot
if they're picked up by animal control.
