Fostering a mum and 3 tiny kittens

Hi!

So we’ve done fostering for a while and have older cats and some kittens but they’ve been over 4 weeks old. We were asked to take in 3 kittens and mom today which we’ve done (they said they were 4 weeks old). It now appears that mum gave birth on bank holiday Monday which makes them less than 2 weeks old!

Mum, who my daughter has named Betsy is in the kitchen with her babies. I’m a bit daunted by the kittens being so young! I have tried to contact the lady who had them but haven’t been able to make contact so I’m asking on here if there’s anything I should be doing?

I know mum will do the biggest job but with regards to going to the toilet do I need to be getting them out and cleaning them until they use the litter tray in a couple of weeks? I’ve added a photo of Betsy and her babies 😻

You and Betsy have done a great job, they are adorable.

Thanks everyone. It’s a very rewarding but hard job at the same time, I will have a cry when these guys go!
