You will be pleased to know i have managed to sort out the kitten who has noe been named Muffin. I soaked him in the a nice warm bath (not to warm) and to be honest it didn't bother him that much.
Most of what was on i have managed to get out and only had to cut 2 bits off.
He is looking alot happier in himself and is now qiute happy to sit and have a cuddle.

I also bathed Pickles his brother, like i said they had been living in barn outside in some sort of saw dust type bedding and they are not litter trained and all there little legs and tummeys were covered in urine.

It is such a shame these are 2 lovely boys but have had such a bad start already

at the min i have put both of them in my giant dog cage that is more than big enough for them. this is just untill i can get them used to the litter tray and being handled abit more as they are very scared little boys never bein in a house before.

I am sure it will all be worth the effort and in no time at all i will have 2 little boys who are just like any other kittens and love to play and snuggle up with me and the rest of the gang on the couch.

Thank you so much for all your help you have been great

P.s

will post a few pics soon

Well done for taking such excellent care of them. They sound adorable - can't wait to see pics of them. Sounds like my boy Gizmo - found in a barn without a mum. He still doesn't come into the house much but is getting better every year (he's 5 now)

Awe bless him, it must be hard not being able to get him in the house for a snuggle. i am gona spoil these 2 to bits so there used to being cuddle and strocked and are happy being part of my family.
They seem to have come on abit already in just 24 hours, i was brushing them before and they were quite happy lying on my knee wrolling on their backs and even tried to play with my fingers.
They must feel much more comfortable bless them n clean and not covered in mats and poo.

I will keep you all posted on their progress and advice on how to bring them on and settle them would also be welcome.
I am already doing my best but if there are any experts out there feel free to let me know if i am doing anything wrong

it is sad - he doesn't do cuddles or play - though he did steal a catnip knottie that I'd got for our new Siamese baby and he liked that for about five minutes! He will let you pick him up but he won't sit on your lap and he rarely purrs. He's still my lovely chunky boy though! I call him 'Chunks' or 'Boo' cos he's my boo.
Good luck with your two. Sending them lots of cuddles (((())))
