Hi Darrel,

Get a kitten milk replacement formula like KMR or whatever brand is sold in your pet supply stores, The can should say 'to feed newborn kittens'. Also purchase the newborn kitten bottles, nipples, and an eyedropper.

The following sites will provide you with instructions on how to feed the kittens and take care of them, if mum is not able to:

http://www.thepetcenter.com/gen/kit.html
http://www.cathelp-online.com/health/kitten1.php
http://www.hdw-inc.com/tinykitten.htm

Some of the information is repeated, but each site has good tips.

I wish you and your feline family all the best.
