Check your Yellow Pages under Veterinarians, look for Emergency Vets, there's usually at least one or two in any town of a decent size that are open all night.

Yea, check the yellow pages. But I don't think the vet will be able to do much other than give you info on how to care for them. Since they are 13 dys old, they should be fine with you caring for them(if you have the time)if not maybe you can find some one to help youbecause it is time consuming.. The link below will tell you how to care for them, which would probably be about the same info the vet will give you. My father in- law gave this web site, he is a vet. But still seek advice from the vet to help you feel at ease about the situation.

Another important thing is to not mess with them to much and do not clean the cage. If she left and not died in the cage, she might return and the cage will need to have the same smell as it did when she left. This is some what common, for the mom to leave and later return. Maybe you can set some food in a deep pan and stack some books or other so she can climb in to eat, then you get her and put her back in the cage.

i would think that your vet would have an answering service or at the very least, a recording giving an emergency phone number. pet stores have wild baby animal milk formula stuff that saved my kitten when it was very young. hope you find that phone number right away so u can start knowing how to give them nourishment, water and how to keep them the Right temperature. hope you find the mom soon!

Keep them warm and then take them to your vet when it is open. You could check on the Internet for a 24 hour vet. They do have such things.

Look in your hand held yellow pages. In large towns there are increasingly 24 hour vet clinics. You might be able to find one right away.

Most communities have emergency veterinary services. Look in the Yellow Pages or Google "emergency veterinary in (name of your town)."
