BAD IDEA!!!!
Human-grade amoxy is often used to treat cats, but WITH ANY antibiotic, improper dosing does DAMAGE rather then helps. All you will do is breed super-bacteria which are drug-resistant, harming all cats, not just those sick now.
To treat a feral with antibiotics, you must trap it and treat it for the full antibiotics course. You likely need to use injectable antibiotics, so you might have to pay your vet to hospitalize and treat the sick cats.
You can learn how to trap at an online or IRL call given by neighborhood cats:

A less harmful way to help is to try to mix some natural immune system boosters into the food mix: Mega-Dose-C or buffered vitamin C and echinecea. Cats produce their own vitamin C, but improve when they are supplemented during times of obvious infection. Echinecea should only be given for two weeks.

even if they scrounge up. Animals, trash, insects, even if they could locate, it really is yet another clarification for the decrease feral kitten survival fee. Momma cat can in worry-free words feed such an excellent number of kittens, or maybe as colonies of ferals can help one yet another out on party, it nonetheless potential quite some kitten deaths. Edit: a more beneficial volume of protein and supplementations. it really is especially a lot it, yet its a huge adequate huge difference to be noticable in words of well being for a kitten/cat.

It's an effective antibiotic, but dosage stumps me. Check in with a vet.
