I don't really have the option to go buy them food tonight. Is there any human food they can eat that would be okay for just tonight??

There is a picture ^
Not sure how old they are?! I decided to get them out of the yard because they were all covered with fleas. I gave them a bath with some mild soap, and got as many of the fleas as possible off. I probably got more than 50 fleas off of each of them. There are 4 kittens. Any advice is good advice. I have a vet appointment for tomorrow afternoon!

Cute little kittens. I think they around 5-6 week mark.
I recently rescued a little kitten about four weeks ago, I rang my vet and asked them what to feed it.
I was told a little diluted milk, or evaporated milk, and a little bit or finely diced meat (raw), or give them ordinary cat food if you have it. To get them to drink you may have use a dropper, to get them to start lapping up milk.
To keep them warm at night, use a hot water bottle & wrap in a old towel. Keep them confined to a small box.

Hi. How old do you think they are? If you happen to have infant formular that would be ideal. otherwise try weetbix soaked in water to make them mushy. If they look old enough to eat something a bit more solid then mince should be good. If you have any meat pies in the freezer - scrape the meat out and warm it so that its just a tiny bit above room temperature. that should be okay. Or some eggs. Don't give them cows milk. Not all cats and dogs are lactose intolerant but they're probably too young to be testing them on it. Good luck.

No you really need to get them special kitty food. You shouldn't of moved them so quickly. Some times the mother goes out for food or is in the middle of moving them to a new location. The mom's nurse milk was the best thing for them.
They sell kitten formula with baby bottles in the pet store along with kitten hard food.

When my baby kitties mama disappeared (I think my neighbor had something to do with it but I can't prove it) I gave them a little bit of diluted milk until I could get to the store. They were about fours weeks old at the time and started eating food not too long after. Thank you for taking care of those babies :-)

Milk

If they're really young, give them milk. That always worked with our kittens. A bottle works well. Warm it up for them, though. If they're old enough to be weaned, I would think some sort of soft meat would do the trick.

Depends on how old they are. If they are old enough to eat wet food, then give them some wet food. If they are really young then they might need formula.
How the heck did they end up in your yard?
Call the SPCA as soon as you can. Kittens find homes fast.

Diluted evaporated (canned) milk, about 50/50. Goats milk or Pedialyte. Don't give them straight milk, it will give them diarrhea. Baby food mixed in or bread & egg yokes. . Egg whites are not realy good for them so you could add just the yolks.

just warm up a little bit of milk and dilute it with water. That should be okay for tonight until you get to the store.

tuna is ok but not for all the time. Half of cats tolerate milk, half do not. my cat enjoys little (tiny) slivers of raw steak, cooked chicken, salmon, etc. put some out, let them decide
