You will need to get bottles and milk replacement for kittens.
You should call a vet and ask what milk replacement they recommend. How often they suggest feeding them (usually every 2 hours) and when to start weaning them. Also ask about other health issues that need to be addressed when caring for them.

Well that little child negliecter - call Children's Protective Services an have them put out an APB.
Just kidding. You'll have to go to your nearest Babies R Us...and start feeding them with a premie bottle - warm whole milk.
It's not unusual for momma cats to do this, especially younger cats. So if your cat is under 2 or 3 she's just scared. Most cats over 3 will have that motherly instinct.
Good Luck.

Oh, that is terrible. I hope nothing has happened to her. You will have to get some formula for them. You can call the vet and find out what to give them and they do have bottles where you can feed them or you can get a syringe and do it. Make sure you keep them warm. Maybe put a stuffed animal where they sleep. They will cuddle with it like they would their momma. Oh, I feel so bad for the little kitties. I hope she does return.

yeah thats right you have to buy the little bottles and kitten milk and warm it up and make sure they drink it cause if they dont they will die, its going to be hard at first because the kitten will move a lot but give it time and they will adjust,

Great advice, mommy2savannah51405. Also, you may want to contact your local vet and get their advice too.
God bless your efforts.
**In addition, please do not bottle feed your kittens whole milk. It is way too strong for their little systems. Ask your local vet what would be the best solution to feed them.

call the vet and he will have replacement formula... and ask him for plenty of srynges... all you can do is try that and try to keep the kittens warm... i know that in our store we have blankets that make a ticking sound like a mother, you might want to try to find one of those for them to sleep on, there may be on in the wal-mart baby section,,, if you can't find one let me know and i will get the name brand for you and try to find a number
