Peggy, I live in Pikeville, about 30 minutes from Harlan.
You relatives wouldn't want a kitten, would they? LOL!
The little darlings are eating good. I got the formula, they are drinking it fine from a saucer. They are eating canned cat food, too.
I think they will be ok, they just eat often. Like every 2 hours, LOL! Good thing I have teens out of school right now, They can take the night shift, LOL!

I once had a dumpster kitten in the same situation. My vet said to feed them chicken baby food. Gerber is what I used. She loved it. I think it is a stage 2 food and you can get it at any grocery store, so easy, too.

Please don't use cows milk from the store. If you have no fresh milk available, the vets around here prefer Goats milk even tho it is a bit expensive. Walmart carries the quart containers for about $3.98.
You can buy the powdered kitty milk in the pet food section, but I hate mixing it up. They seem to like the goats milk better anyway.
They are probably really wormy and may have the beginnings of URI - upper respiratory infection. They are what we called ferel cats at the shelter. They may or may not be tameable. I wish you luck.

What wonderful compassionate people you all are! Bless you. I have a calico named Patches that we found in our shed and had kittens. Found a home for the kittens and adopted mama (Patches). Got her spayed and she is now an inside cat.
