Kittens?

[rock.my.socks]

I was just out walking when I heard a mewling sound coming from the bushes in the ditch. I went down and found a knotted up sock. When I opened it up I found four newborn kittens. Someone had thrown them out their car window in a sock hoping they'd drown. We figured they cant be any older than two weeks old since the're so small and the're eyes are barely open.
I was wondering if anyone knows if theres anything we can do to help them. The vet isnt open atm so we cant get any milk replacer. We fed them some whole milk from an eyedropper and the're now wrapped up in towels in a shoebox sleeping. I dont know much about kittens but I dont think the chances of them all living are high. It just makes me mad to think someone could do that to a bunch of innocent kittens

keep them warm. if you can, try placing them near a heater or something. you need to watch them and feed them about every 4 hours. if you can get ahold of the milk replacer, it will be better for them than the whole milk. mix water with the whole milk before you give to to them next. deff. call the vet in the morning, but dont take them to a shelter. shelters are really bad about putting kittens to sleep because there isnt a lot of volunteers willing to bottle feed them. if you can, try and find a cat/kitten rescue in your area (try craigslist.org and you can post about it). good luck. :]

I'm glad you took them in and are trying to take care of them.
I don't have any advice, but I hope they all live.
That's horrible.

I can't belive someone would do that.It is so sad.You sound like you are doing a good job by taking care of them.Hope they live.

Thank you's
When I first found them I couldnt believe someone would do that! It made me so mad I was almost crying, I mean to take them away from their mother at such an early stage, the person could have at least waited awhile.

all 4 four of our kittens are doing fine, they walk now ( which can be a bad thign ) they've all grown about three ounces, and to give you an idea of how big they are the biggest one weights ten ounces. We've named them Cornelius ( hehe my idea), Lucky ( my brothers idea, him being very creative), Sacheeko ( my sisters idea, it means lucky in japaneese or chinese), and Bas ( Because its french for sock and thats what they were found in. If I can figure out how to post pics off my computer onto here i'll post some

lol if you want to rescue kittens be prepared for alot of work, not that I dont love them and think their the cutest things ever, they require alot of work than I expected

I know right? I have 2 grown cats but we just got a new kitten and we WERE taking care of a litter of Four. (but we found families for them).

We're a bit worried about finding homes for our kittens but the vet promised us if we couldnt find them homes thet would put them in the window at their office so more people could see them
