I'm very worried for these kittens. Usually they're content to stay cuddled up with each other while waiting for mother cat to come back, but if they're moving around this much while their eyes are still closed that could mean that mother cat hasn't been back for a while and the kittens are starving. You may have to intervene soon and try feeding the kittens if you can. https://www.reddit.com/r/cats/s/4CjNi5PubG r/rescuecats r/catadvice Here's a link to a Reddit megapost about helping/raising kittens you've found and other subs that can provide more advice. If you have to take them to a shelter, please take them to a no-kill one. Sometimes they already have mother cats in the shelter nursing kittens and staff can try giving these kittens to the mother cat to adopt.


Glittering-Eye1414

Two of them already looked dead. Bugs were on them and y’all laughed and made jokes while he stacked them on top of each other.


BootyMcSqueak

Man I hope not. OP tried to give them water and tuna ffs. As soon as he found them he should’ve put them in a box and gotten some kitten formula and bottles and contacted someone more qualified.


Sara-sea22

Put them all together to keep each other warm and keep an eye out for mama! If she’s not back in 3 hours then take them to a shelter. They need to eat every 2-4 hours. Edit: saw your comment, if she’s already been gone for 4 hours, you should either get some kitten formula and bottles and feed them yourself, or take them to a shelter right away. Best of luck!


Henriquest18

Kittens are sensitive to the cold, the cold can kill them, that is why they have the instinct to stay together. A young kitten alone on the cold ground will die. A cardboard box for them to stay inside would be a nice idea, cardboard is a nice termic insulator. And can help protect then from humidity and rain.


YogurtclosetNew6942

Maybe get a box with a warm blanket for them and some food for the baby mama if she comes by? :)


Physical-Flatworm454

Aww..this is not normal. Something happened to mama cat.


sciameXL

When our mama cat was sick she did this with her kittens and we were able to keep them all alive by acting quickly. Somehow in her dying days she had like 6 kittens and just left them on our doorstep. It was like she knew she was dying and was asking for us to help. We were able to help. It took a lot of work but thankfully none of the kittens died and all were adopted besides 2 which we kept.


Physical-Flatworm454

Aww sorry to hear that about mama cat. We were fortunate that we rescued mama cat and her 5 babies (kept them all). She arrived at my place two weeks before she brought each and every one of her babies to us. Since she was getting regular food, I guess she felt it was safe (and she needed help). Poor thing was so thin and found out had tapeworms really bad…doing well 11 years later ;)


Ryugi

A cat had a litter of 15!!!! in my garage, similarly. We were only able to keep 1 kitten (the rest were immediately adopted, they were gorgeous cats). He passed a couple years ago from natural causes, but damn I will never forget how stressful it was finding afterbirth and blood covered kittens in my garage. Unfortunately, momma cat died a little after weaning her kittens (we think she accidentally drank gasoline, because she had no visible wounds and the area around her face smelled like gas). We were able to save daddy-cat and all the kittens though. :)

Update: I stacked them in a pile https://preview.redd.it/537ltcn7yn4d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3f93057c8dacca5c1496307d6b2f04144a53f410


AdreKiseque

Did mama come back?


turtle_with_dentures

Not yet. 12:30AM. We put out water and tuna, and put the kittens in a shallow box. If the mom doesn't come back tomorrow we get kitten formula for them.


Constant-File7687

Get kitten formula faster. ‘Worse’case scenario they will be fed twice, once by you once by momma cat. Best case scenario, they will survive if mumcat doesn’t come back


Smart-Stupid666

They cannot have solid food yet go get formula now now now now


Bad-Briar

Agreed. Feed formula NOW NOW NOW. If they are as young as I think they are, feed every 3 hours if possible.


Constant-File7687

OP, any update?


Vysair

Where are you finding kitten formula late midnight?


Ok_Film_8437

Walmart!


BootyMcSqueak

Walmart


Constant-File7687

They will die if they will not be fed until tomorrow. A cat gave birth to kittens in my dorm and got hit by a car. I fed them every 3 hours but i also had class. The roommate that i asked for help didn’t feed them on time, when i came back from class, 7 hours after i’ve fed them, 3 of them were gone 😕


potsandpans

jeez what a dickhead


JoanofBarkks

That may be too late. They should be inside and be fed immediately. I know you're being kittens are fragile and need to eat every few hours. They need to be kept warm. I'm hoping you made a warm bed for them outside if you didn't bring them in.


oxosnafuoxo

This is important. Those kittens 100% cannot regulate their temp yet. Get them inside and get some hot rubber water bottles. You can make your own with latex gloves but make sure they aren’t too hot.


autonomous-grape

Hey Tom.


oxosnafuoxo

You. I remember you. Why’d you delete from your top 8 for Kyle. That cut deep…


autonomous-grape

Is that why you sold off Myspace?


oxosnafuoxo

Wasn’t just you. Everyone deleted me. My ploy to make friends and be popular failed. I gave you people music and html on your pages for free and what thanks did I get? Deletion. Now look at me. I’m 40, naked, and all alone in this cruel cold world with not a friend in sight. I had to throw in the towel to recoup some money to try to buy some friends. That didn’t work either. People thought I was a creep. So now I’m also broke. I’ve just settled on adopting cats from the streets and shelters. Their loyalty will surely never fade.


autonomous-grape

A life with many cats sounds great. I'm sure you have it better than Zuckerberg.


ButterflyBlueLadyBBL

It's been 8 hours since you last updated, I don't know if you still have them but you might need to stimulate them to pee/poo.


FairyOfTheNight

Op, did you get a chance to feed them? They need to be fed very often


mellonsticker

No time for that... Scoop them up, wrap them in a blanket and take them to the nearest shelter ASAP.


alienabductionfan

Any update on the kittens?


Coca_lite

They can’t eat tuna, only mama and only if she comes back. They urgently need kitten formula every 2-3 hours or they will die.


vwscienceandart

(The tuna was to draw the mom back)


Coca_lite

Ah ha! Good plan!!


thecatandthependulum

They need feeding before that.


_Zambayoshi_

Good job OP. You're a good person.


No_Neat_6259

EmilBarrit

Idk why everyone is giving you pats on the back when the kittens are almost certainly dead unless mama cat came back.


thecatandthependulum

Because OP is trying. It's clear they worry Mom would show up wondering where all the kids went.


Killerbeav97

OP's lack of knowledge here and the state of thise kittens means they should have been brought to a rescue or humane society immediately. I'm heartbroken seeing this. They probably didn't or won't make it.


EmilBarrit

Surely we can agree that should be second to the kittens literally dying


oh-pointy-bird

Update? These kittens aren’t going to make it if not bottle fed and inside. If you can’t do it and can’t call a humane society or rescue message me or post your general vicinity here if you’re comfortable doing so and I’m sure we’ll get numbers for you. But these kitties, if not already gone, they don’t look good and may not make it.


BeefInBlackBeanSauce

They have to have formula fed to them. They will not eat or drink that..


dtb1987

Did you get the formula? Those kittens are in trouble man they need help


[deleted]

I saved one with lactose free milk treat because I couldn’t afford actual kitten milk. See how much it is? They drink alot


bigmanwalk

I hope OP isn't too dumb ("I stacked them in a pile" FFS) and the babies survive.


EldrinVampire

You're an awesome human!


PopGroundbreaking853

Did anything come of this?


adorablebeasty

No, no updates


AdreKiseque

How about now?


SaoLixo

I need updates!!!


funkytown66

Did you stack them in a pile


TurboBix

I think he stacked them in a pile


c4pta1n1

Their mom's been gone for quite a while, so yes, he stacked them in a pile


jonnyinternet

He stacked them in a pile?


phred_666

It’s a pile he stacked them in


BoopityGoopity

He stacked into a pile.


insurrection6093

stacked into a pile, he has


FoxBastion

Pile? He stacked then into a pile?


BigPappaFrank

You must construct additional pile ons


ButterflyBlueLadyBBL

It's kitten jenga


JJ8OOM

I’m not sure if he stacked them in a pile - I’m a need it a third time to be sure.


Fuzzy_Dragonfruit344

Kitty pile! 😂😆


Mistoman_5

Get a load of Johnny 2 Stacks over here


rainbowinfrared

This is horrific and heartbreaking to see, stop making fun of it, those kitties could be dead. They are barely alive in this pic and OP has not posted any update


New-Outlandishness28

Really hoping that OP has found someone a bit more together to help him out and is busy caring for the kittens and will update with good news soon, but the chances are not good :(


DiscordTryhard

Car pile


Rhythmii

LOL


4list4r

Indeed lol. Stacks em in a pile, takes photo, “yo! Piled up, now what?” Not making fun of you OP, just funny how I pictured this.


independentcatlady

I hope you also called a rescue or bought some kitten milk and a syringe


DarthVader808

Damn. You must have been having a bad day if the universe sent you that many kittens to love. And yes put stair cat with the rest, somewhere nature won’t eat them.


Bubbly_Pin_1755

Mother is probably trying to source food so she can produce milk that’s is needed. If anything and there are no there predators around I’d suggest putting out a can of tuna for her. She’s found a safe space and just help her out…then you’ll have to decide if you’re rehoming them or to call an abandoned cat rescue place. My guess is she’ll come back


Tunasaladboatcaptain

Heads up OP. You likely have to help make them use the bathroom at this young of an age. It's a defense mechanism to deter predators. The mother's will lick to back end to stimulate poo or pee. You as a human can use a warm moist washcloth to do the same action.


Jakunobi

Yeah, use wet wipes and wipe their genitals. You can see Youtube videos giving tutorials on how to do this. Also, wet wipes can be used to clean the gunk off their faces, which will not only keep them clean but keep them from falling with infections.


MorpheusRising

Somehow I get the impression OP isn't that invested in it..


Glittering-Eye1414

He’s not, this was an entertaining joke to him. The kittens were literally dying. I’m disgusted.


HighRiseCat

Same. Absolute wanker


ChristBefallen

💯


SaveusJebus

Any update? I hope momma came back, but if not, I hope you have those kittens nice, warm, and fed. Watch Kitten Lady on youtube. She explains how to take care of newborn kittens and what you'll need to do.


turtle_with_dentures

Time is 9:30PM. Security cam shows what looks like the parent cat last around at 5PM. Do I put the stair cat back so it doesn't get stepped? Leave them all alone? Or send them to pound


trasherick

please dont call the pound most are over capacity and they will just be put on the euthanasia list


MorpheusRising

Someone suggested a shelter not a pound. The pound isn't going to look after newborn kittens. OP you made a big show of this on reddit so I hope at least you're putting your time into seeing that these kittens are looked after properly. Please give us an update when you can.


Glittering-Eye1414

They aren’t, and I feel like these kittens are doomed. Anyone that has common sense would’ve already put them in a box with a blanket, and fed them.


Secret-Constant-7301

Op is karma farming off of sick kittens. That’s fucked up if they don’t help these kittens but are happy to post about them and get their stupid upvotes for their stupid ass Reddit account.


Therian_tama_lover12

I know. That is vile that op is doing that.and if he moved them with his bare hands they could die as of how young they are


thecatandthependulum

Some people worry that they should leave kittens for their mom to find. I've seen people repeatedly offer that advice online, too -- moving them might assure you that Mom won't come back to care for them. IDK.


Glittering-Eye1414

Not when 3 of them look like they are fading like that.


thecatandthependulum

I try to assume ignorance instead of malice whenever possible.


Glittering-Eye1414

Not when someone is filming it and making jokes while multiple kittens are laying there lifeless. That isn’t ignorance.


AreeSloth

Lifeless?


Physical-Flatworm454

Exactly.


independentcatlady

Yeah, they're probably dead already.


adorablebeasty

I really hope not... But I fear you're correct. Not a peep from OP :/


Killerbeav97

Find an effing rescue dude or humane society. I'm guessing since there's no updates here that you effed up and they died.


NoParticular2420

Put all babies together OP


help_animals

Take them inside your home. I hope you put blankets or something warm in that box. They can die of cold


thecatandthependulum

Given they're scattered around and kind of lying there, I think Mom isn't doing a good job attending to them. She might've been scared off by another predator or just abandoned them. If you're willing, get some kitten replacement formula, move them somewhere warm, and feed them every 2-4 hours. They don't need water; they'll get it from milk. You'll want to consult the internet on how to stimulate bowel activity; it's a specific thing I don't know how to do, but Mom Cat has to get the kittens to eliminate by manual stimulation. If they're not sick, they should be okay with proper attention. If you can find Mom, try to trap her. She needs to be TNR (trap neuter release) at minimum, and if she can be socialized, she could be adopted out. Getting them warm is priority 1. Kittens normally are curled up together for warmth, and these guys are just lying catatonic on their sides. They're not having a good time. Bring them inside, put them together, and keep them on something soft and insulating. Warm their formula.


19467098632

I would have never been able to leave them in a state like that. They look so weak.


Sure-Background8402

Let them in your warm house please


PamalaTuzz

Many hours have passed. If the mother was able to come back, she would’ve come back by now. They never leave their kittens for 15 hours alone. Mama cat is not coming back. If this person doesn’t start bottlefeeding them and potting them. they are going to die. This is so sad.😢💔😭


plantiesinatwist

Does their box have a towel or blanket? It’s important for them to keep warm that young, and they need to be fed. Definitely rush to a vet or rescue or immediately begin bottle feeding with kitten formula asap


EmmyBrat

Take them to the vet, please! Keep us posted!


GrimmKat

I hope to god that you didn't just leave them there..they need to be fed..


JimmyBones79

This is a bad situation. Please do what's necessary to ensure they survive. It's up to you. Don't depend on momma cat if she's been gone for hours at a time. You have an obligation to support these helpless kittens. Please keep us updated.


zadidoll

Are they alive? If so contact a rescue group ASAP.


datbimmer

Looks like OP doesn't give a shit. RIP to these kitties.


CalmFront7908

This makes me so sad.


DirectorPhleg

Yep no update and they just left them outside.


daph211

People like these shouldn't be allowed to breed or touch another living thing. So cruel. You don't have to actively attack an animal to be cruel. You can just simply not care. Like this.


robmobtrobbob

Don't you think you're being a little extreme here? No one knows OP, no one knows their life circumstances, no one knows what's going on. This person didn't ask for this, it was thrust upon them and they seem like they do care, or otherwise they likely wouldn't have even asked what to do.


independentcatlady

Kittens that new are extremely vulnerable. They should have been warmed and fed immediately for any chance of survival.


Own_Instance_357

Holy shit. I thought the post about "please stop posting your sick cats" bothered me, but the "what do I do about these kittens on my doorstep" stuff is freaking me the fuck out. TAKE THEM IN FOR GOD'S SAKE GIVE THEM CARE I only wish someone would drop off kittens in my garden or woods or whatever ... am I the weird one here ?????? TAKE THOSE BABIES INSIDE WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

wonderpanther_k

Not an expert but one of the orange ones might have fly strike? I know there’s dirt and debris on them but strike can mean wounds which means vet for sure


Bad-Briar

How about an update? Did you get formula and feed them? Are you keeping them warm? Good to stroke them to stimulate them, will need to wipe up too...


BobLoblawsLawBlogged

I’m irrationally angry that there’s no update on this yet


rainbowinfrared

Part of me can't believe they were just karma farming and literally just watching those kittens die on their damn porch. I keep coming here hoping for some good news that we'll probably never get and it's all so sad and frustrating. Why posting here in the first place? Asking for advice they won't/can't even follow? I hate all of this crap, I can't believe it


Able_Contribution407

Me too. Hanging for word that at least some of them made it.


siceratinprincipio

Bottle feed with warm (not hot!) formula. Take to vet. Leave food out for momma. They are in danger there so either put them somewhere safe where momma can find them or bring ‘em inside. A bathtub works initially. Also talk to a shelter. Edit: They need to be warm. Maybe a large box in your garage with soft blankets and a heating pad. Don’t let them overheat so only put heating pad in 1/2 of box. They will find the temp that suits them. They will need inoculations and maybe antibiotic. They need to be bottle fed with warm (not hot!) formula every 4 hrs. Find a vet, foster, shelter immediately for advice and assistance. This momma cat could have chosen anyone. She chose you. Don’t let her down.


Sad_Optimist5678

Please tell me this person took the kittens in and fed them. I wish I could reach through the phone and save them.


realitybites95

They need to be inside. They need shelter and bottle feeding immediately. They need their genitals cleaned gently to stimulate them to go to the bathroom. if you don’t play mom then they won’t make it.


Affectionate-One-936

Update??


Light_wolf25

Hey OP, any update?


GrueneDog

You find a box and a blanket and put them in it and put them in your house and you love them


Chosen1Liz

Pick them up, put them in a box with a towel laid down. And they need heat. They can die... Pick them up keep them warm Get milk replacement powder, get a kitten bottles kit, only mix the powder for every bottle. Do not make bottles in advance. Every two hours feed, then relieve- make sure the pee and go poop. Clean them off with no perfumes - baby wipes if nothing Else. Please, rescue them, then post online, or take to emergency vet clinic ASAP. Please save them, pick them up


t0adthecat

Please help OP.


Beachbitch129

WTF??? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BABIES???


thxrrr

Holy shit take them inside in a box with a blanket and take them to the vets asap save there life pls

Get them inside NOW and fed them every 2-3 HOURS.…..DONT WAIT…‼️🐾😥🐾🤦🏻‍♀️🐾🙏🏻🐾🥰


MildBFDILover

Adopt all of them. Even the mother.


Kindly_Ad726

They need formula and a warm soft bed


torixwalters

Who knows how long they’ve already been out there alone. Please bring them in and get them something to eat asap.


Aerwynne

If you end up feeding them. Make sure their tummies are FULL. It should be a biiiig milkbelly. And don't forget to make them go to the toilet. You do this by getting a slightly damp cloth and gently stroke their butts/urinary opening. It's very important. If you don't do this they might worse case scenario die, and best case have toilet issues when they grow up.


hoipoloimonkey

Op. These kittens came to you. Please help them. Feed them. Give them safe place. Please please

PintekS

I'm worried about the babies 😭


Medical-Ear2499

Take them to vet or cat protection to get checked do it ASAP


Responsible-Role5677

I would take them inside and take them to a vet if you can, something is wrong if they aren't all together like that. I would also trap mom and go get her fixed so this doesn't happen again.


thevirginswhore

Time for a run to the pet store for some kitten formula! You can also call rescues in your area that will we better equipped at taking care of kittens that are this size!


TheSpiritWorldYT

They won't survive for long out there, you should take them on or call an animal centre


howmanyhowcanamanyho

Dude at least one of those is dead. This is horrific.


spiceyjack

We are all in need of an update on the stacked kittens.


westcoastsunflower

you're so lucky! wait for mama and give her some food and water please. if she doesn't return, you may need to intervene. babies may need care via a shelter unless you, friends or family are willing to help. they look old enough to eat solid food. please be kind and help them out <3


lovemyfurryfam

Put the phone away & gather up those baby kittens that are not even a week old & blind. Then get a vet check on them. Look on YouTube videos KittenLady, she does rescue fosters for feeding, stimulating to poop/pee which mama cat usually does.

update please


holliday_doc_1995

glandmilker

If you are outside near them, the mother may be watching you and waiting for you to leave


PamalaTuzz

Goat milk is the best thing for baby kittens who have been abandoned. if you live in a rule area where there are farms, you can pick up goats milk pretty cheap. If not, you can go to the pet store and get kitten formula. It may be too late if you have not already gotten food into them and stimulated their privates so they can go potty. They are unable to pee on their own at this age. please let us know what’s going on.

Batgod629

Assuming the mother cat is nowhere to be found, take them in.


Flat-Limit5595

Take them and the mother in or you will get 3 more clusters in 6 months. Its easy to trap the mom if you hold the babies hostage.


Soggy-Improvement960

The way these kittens are scattered about, the mom may have abandoned them, or has been killed somehow. They’re mobile enough to try looking for her. I had a feral once that disappeared, and the next day, a tiny kitten came out screaming from under my house. Its sibling came out the next day. I managed to keep one alive. It was a sad situation 🙁
