OK, I have no experience of hand raising kittens only puppies but they need feeding every two hours. You cannot give them cows milk so you need to get a formula milk like Cimicat or the Royal Canin baby milk for them and you need a special feeding bottle/teat or a syringe. Have you got all these in on standby? I wouldn't panic just yet and go all in to hand rear them but certainly if mum isn't back within the next few hours you will need hydrate them with boiled glucose water if nothing else. Try not to panic just yet, mum could come waltzing in at anytime. Is she used to going outdoors?? and have you got a catflap for her to acess thehouse? |
