How old do you think they are? I'll post pics soon but they're only face shots. I'll get a body pic when I can.

I'm using Katy's formula and it's working well.
 
I've learned from many litters that they usually start to 'play' at 4 weeks(though it might not be graceful!). feeding every 2 hours is more for newborn or very young. usually by a week they can eat every 4 hours and every 6 hours eventually! by the time they have teeth they can learn how to eat solid food. I usually start with canned at about 3-4 weeks!! (mama would kick them off the teet by then and show them where food is!!) Im sure youre gettin it but I used cotton balls to stimulate to go to the bathroom after every(!!) meal.(they are eventually able to eliminate their own bowels. so show them where the litter box is! I would also get some dewormer from your local vet. I'm a vet tech and usually get all spring and falls 'bottle babies' so PM if you need more advice!!

also a loud crying kitten is usually either hungry or cold!!
 
We found a cute momma cat that had been dumped and was pregnant. It is not feral it is sweet and tame. I think someone must of dumped her because she was preggo. Her kitten is about a month old now. It is mostly black with a calico stripe down her face...very cute! I hope your little kitty makes it okay.
 
Many years ago a friend aquired three new born kittens. It's along story how but suffice it to say, the local vet said they would die so don't bother trying. The receptionist gave her some great information and my friend saved two of the kittens. At 5 weeks I took over with the two brothers and named them Joey Cora and Ken Griffey. Cora passed away several years ago and Griffey just two years. I have a tattoo on my leg with their likeness and with wings. Hand raised kitten make the best pets.

My only advice is to love them. Rub your face all over them, like they are being licked by momma. It helps the bond grow strong I think. You can never give a kitten too much love.

They are ADORABLE!!! I have a tuxedo cat who just turned 14. She was born wild in my backyard, but I tamed her, and now she is the best cat I have ever known (you don't own a cat) ;o)

Oh cuties. They are probably about 6 weeks old, go ahead and start them on canned kitten food or soaked dry kibble. I've had really good luck with Iams kitten as a first food. If they have teeth, they are old enough for solid food. They don't need any milk at that age and it may only upset their tummies.

yep, living in the country, people used to dump kittens off by our house when I was a kid... I have the above recipie locked in my brain. It works great & the ingredients are cheaper than formula. (at one time we had 17 cats!) Seeing your pics makes me want to go adopt another kitty from our local shelter... hmmm
