AaArrggh had just typed you a long reply when the site went down!

Basically, in summary, ring your local vet who should give a out of hours number to call on their ansafone and explain the situation to the emergency vet.

They will be desperately hungry and if poss, at least for the time being, try to give them water in a needleless syringe if you have one, else on a spoon and try to put a few drops in their mouths until such time as the vet advises better.

Do not give them cows milk unless vet advises.

Also, ensure that the mother cat hasn't returned looking for them.

But PLEASE call the vets NOW - they should take them off you if you cannot cope as you will need to feed them every 2 hours :eek:

Good luck and please let us know how you get on

Our posts crossed, webitha, but do ring the local vets or PDSA hospital if you have one. Unfortunately the CPL and RSPCA are so understaffed and underfunded that they can be frustratingly unhelpful sometimes.

I've had plenty of dealings with them and they are great, but not that great when giving advice out of hours :rolleyes:

You know you want to keep one We are getting a kitten (maybe 2 if there is another girl) this week, been out today to get all the stuff

How old do you think they are?

Clever kittens. They know where to find a nipple.

Watch out for teeth and sharp claws. :eek:
