I've got several new born kittens mom was picked up by pound and fixed and got a medicine to drain her of milk what do I do???
They'll need to be fed.
Get some cat's milk from the pet store and using a dropper, feed them at least every 3 hours (more often if they seem unsatisfied). If you can find a small nursing bottle, it will work better, but if not, and you have to use the dropper, make sure you let the milk drop into their mouths - don't squirt it in quickly. Whatever you do - don't use regular milk.
Is the mother cat still around to care for the kittens? If not, you'll have to stimulate them so they can relieve themselves. Using a warm damp washcloth, gently wipe their bottoms until they let go of their waste.
Make sure the kittens are kept warm and in a place where they are safe...newborn kittens can't see, but they can crawl and you don't want to find they've fallen into a dangerous situation.
Sorry but could you make the question a bit clearer? If you just adopted some kittens, you should let the mom nuture the kittens. If she cant then you'll have to make sure to feed them once every 2-3 hours... something like that Make sure they're warm, hydrated and fed.
give this site a look http://www.localvets.com/articles/kitten-handbook.html Good luck (:
you take care of them if you have an old hamster cage bottom or something deep put a heating pad in it on low and put some wood shavings like hamster bedding in it and make a spot for them 2 sleep make sure you feed them warm milk through an eye dropper and also make sure they are all cuddled up together
I'd be looking for a cat that's already nursing (maybe the pound knows of one or two) that can take on these kittens...otherwise you'll be doing the feeding with a bottle (that's every 2 hours, day and night)...

good luck. im glad youre not someone who would just leave them pass away.
