Help - 2 orpahned kittens
Just found 2 orphaned/abandoned kittens outside one of our basement windows
(the mother was there last night when we first discovered them, and there were 5, but she moved 3 and hasn't come back for these 2). I have received some advice & supplies from my vet, but they seem to not want to eat. One of them had dirt caked on it's chin & neck (I think this one's a she, while with black spots) and sounds like she(?) might have a bit of a cold (snuffling when she breathes). The other is a VERY robust black boy (I think I saw boy parts on this one) that is squirming a screaming a LOT (he has a great set of lungs), but didn't want to nurse from the bottle (maybe the rubber nipple tastes bad?) I believe these kittens to be under a week old, maybe only a few days as the black one still has a bit of dried umbilical cord on him. I plan on contacting a local pet-rescue organization (Pets Alive - they do fosters & homing, plus have low cost spay/neuter, started by a bunch of people that were outraged that 3 out of every 4 animals in the county shelter were euthanized.) for any more advice and on finding a home for them, but ANY advice I get here will be greatly appreciated!
