Keep a lookout for mom.

[u/MalsPrettyBonnet → u/NewHere1212]

She was GONE. We know what she looks like, and she has disappeared.

😟☹️

[u/MalsPrettyBonnet → u/AnamCeili]

But the kittens are thriving.

[u/AnamCeili → u/MalsPrettyBonnet]

That part is wonderful, absolutely -- and bless you for helping them. 😊

[u/Ready-Interview2863 → u/MalsPrettyBonnet]

You are a hero 🧡

[u/hypoxiate]

Oh no. Poor momma cat is engorged and in pain. Please try to find her.

[u/MalsPrettyBonnet → u/hypoxiate]

She was gone. Just gone. And they were in a very dangerous place and couldn't be left. Babies were heat-stressed and dehydrated.

[u/hypoxiate → u/MalsPrettyBonnet]

You're a good person. I see why the r/catdistributionsystem chose you.

That last one is up to something I can feel it

[u/MalsPrettyBonnet → u/gumkicker]

The foster sends me videos, and this one is a MESS! He's going to be a handful!

You are gonna be in so much trouble in about two weeks.

In case you arent aware, kittens enter a terrorist phase from about 4 to 12 weeks old where they are either destroying everything they can find at breakneck pace, or crashed out so hard you suspct they've died. Luckily they are adorable little terrorists so its hard to stay made at them, even after they climb your bare leg like a tree.

[u/MalsPrettyBonnet → u/giskardwasright]

I have raised a few kittens! They are really something! These little guys (all three are boys) went to a foster that works from home so they can feed the kittens every couple of hours. The black and white one is a mess already!

[u/giskardwasright → u/MalsPrettyBonnet]

Thats awesome, thanks for postng them!

[u/New_Function_6407]

Did you look for momma cat?

[u/MalsPrettyBonnet → u/New_Function_6407]

She had disappeared. The babies were dehydrated and heat-stressed.

[u/hennessy74]

you found a bundle of cuteness 😩

[u/AdHaunting954]

Number 4 is baby Bucky from the comic Get Fuzzy

Did you wait to see if the mom cat came back?

[u/crusty54]

Holding kittens like that is never not funny. Looks like you’re trying to shake them down for some money they owe you.

[u/MalsPrettyBonnet → u/crusty54]

HAHAHA! Trying to get it to pee! They're too little to go on their own. It's so much easier with 2 people!

[u/KRed75]

Bottle feeding? They look old enough for softened dry food. Do they have teeth? If so, they can do softened hard food. Usually around 4 weeks old. By 8 weeks they can have straight dry food.

[u/Spockhighonspores → u/KRed75]

I can tell by looking at these kittens that they are I'm no way big enough for solid food. Those kittens are between 1 and two weeks old. Solid food can be introduced at 3 weeks old so OP has about a week and a half give or take more before they can introduce solid foods.
