hi every1 my first time on this page so i hope im doing this right!! i have an important question and im kinda stuck hope somebody can help me? my cat got run over this morning, and left behind 2 three week old kittens, ive bin tryin to give them milk myself but they wont take it, im hoping its just a matter of gettin used to it but im just a bit worried!! need help plz

yikes, really sorry to hear that - have they seen a vet? tbh i'd repost this in breeding section - they have more experience.

sorry its no help.

Not really, they need to be eating now, not when they get used to it. What milk are you giving them?

Do you have a proper teat bottle?

Get in touch with your local Cats Protection or shelter. You need someone who is used to hand rearing kittens to feed these poor babies They may be able to show you how to do it yourself.
They need to be fed on a kitten replacement milk - eg Cimicat or similar.
I am sorry to hear about their mum

Milk as in, milk you put on your cereal? Syringe feeding can be dangerous. You need kitten formula and a teat.

You cannot just give them cows milk, you need to take them to a vet or rescue now so you can get proper kitten formula.

Tomorrow is far too late.

no i found the mother as a kitten wen she was just born the mother had abandoned it so i brought it to de vet and he gave me the stuff to feed it but he sed if i used sma formula for babies it wud be just as good, so i got dat this time aswell!! not usin cows milk!!

They still need to go to a vet.

1. Mum should have been spayed, and 2. Mum should not have been outside whilst feeding young kittens.

You have made 2 glaring mistakes so far which have killed one cat, and may kill another 2, lets not make it 3 mistakes....

Vets/rescue asap. I dont know anything about SMA baby milk but I would be looking to get a cat formula, not a baby formula

I mean, your story makes no sense, you have hand reared a 'just born' kitten but are now clueless with these ones?

The Story So Far:
Spock (2010-2011), who began our love affair with kitties but whose grasp on the green cross code was sadly lacking.
Icarus (2011-...?), who loves noses more than anything else.
Mildred (2010-...?), who sings to the birds.

The twisted brainwrong of a one-off man mental.

So if, as you say, you have already been through this once with the mother, why do you not know what to do this time?
