Hi. Just don't let them outside. Lots of good food, litter, antibioitics and care. They should be okay. So glad he brought them home to you to help. :) Sounds like they came to the right kitty momma.
Good luck

Thank God you took all 3 kittens to a vet. I wish everyone had the common sense and compassion you do.
Just keep the little angels inside.
As you know kittens LOVE to play. Supply them with all the kitten essentials.
Let them look out the windows when they can reach them :)
As long as they have each other and you they will not even want to leave for quite awhile.
All cats/kittens are naturally curious about what is behind the doors. They wonder why you go through a door and they can't see you anymore.
So naturally they want to check out the scene.
When they catch a sniff of fresh air they get all excited.
Can you blame the little buggers?
It is all natural curiosity.
It is quite simple to make them indoor kitty's as you will soon see.
Bless you for saving the kittens.

Since they are small now if you keep them inside now when they become adult cats they will be accustom to the indoors.Start putting them inside the litter box after meals and let them do this with no distractions so that they won't be scared of the box.I think the eye ointment will take care of the eye infection.I have dealt with this before, and also with an adult "wild" cat and now she is tame and loves our kids.It took some time working with her.Getting them spade or neutered really helps with temperament.I hope this helps.Good Luck with the kitties.It is so darling that your male cat brought them home.

My one cat was a farm kitten before we took her. When she meowed incessantly by the door, we would bring her attention to some yummy food. Eventually, when she wanted a treat, she would sit by the door, meow and then run to the fridge if we went to the door. Now, the only way she gets to go outside is on a harness and leash, she will run outside for grass every once and a while, but stays near the door. She even runs straight to the door if she gets spooked by something.
Depending on how young the kittens are, just keep them inside and give them everything a kitty needs.

Cats (especially kittens) can adapt to indoor life fairly quickly. Just be sure to keep a CLEAN litter box, food and water that's easily accessible, a warm & cozy place to sleep, scratching post and some toys. Be careful...they might try to sneak out from time to time...and cats are quick! But be sure to have them spayed/neutered, and update their shots. They'll get better soon with lots of care. I've taken old adult cats that were strictly outdoors, and turned them to indoor cats, and they were just fine. I think they appreciate the warmth. Congratualtions on your new kittens, I know you will take good care of them!

Cats are really adaptable so just keeping them inside and providing a comfy place for them to lay in the sun and lots of clean litter since you have three! I also have three although they are all differernt ages. My youngest is two and we found her in the street when she was two weeks old and she had a severe eye problem and a respiratory infection and we nursed her with a bottle and she went right to the litter box and we never had any trouble making her one of the family and keeping her inside. Good luck with your critter family!!

There's nothing in particular you can do, other than keep them indoors as much as possible when they're small and train them to use kitty litter.
Cat's are independent by nature and generally hard to control or manipulate. So if they grow up and don't want to be indoor pets, then they won't! But if you keep them inside when they're small and give them lots of attention, then they will probably get used to that way of life and want to stay in the house with you.
Good luck :-)

1) Stand by the door as you are going out with their favorite toys and throw it far enough for them to run after it - that way you can safely leave & they will be preoccupied with their toys.
2) Litter & Food
3) Fresh air - open windows with screens in them.
4) Toys - to keep them busy.
5) Love - lots of love and affection.

Honey, listen to me now so your not asking why they don't use the littler box later. The 1st thing you GOTTA do is set up the box. Then when you take them into the house, one by one, set them in the box and let them alone, once they come out, that most likely means they've figured it out. Thats when you grab the next one and do the same. Good luck to you sweetie and I wish you the best with your little kitties!!!

My cats are strictly indoors. Just don't let them out. There are so many diseases and dangers for cats outdoors and indoor cats live much longer.
Thanks for saving the kittens!!!
