feral kittens
I found some kittens in my garage - what should I do?
They look really young (maybe just a week or two old).
I am not sure if the mother is around or how to help them.
Any advice on what to do next would be appreciated!

Kitten Rescue 101 – A home-based rescue in Fremont, with an adoption fee of $175 (costly (: ).
Kittens are so cute - and if they chose you, maybe it is a sign. Maybe it is time to bring them home!

Young feral kittens may be eligible for socialization and adoption.
If you come across feral kittens in Fremont and are unable to care for them, you can report them to the Tri-City Animal Shelter for assistance.

Do not use a microwave to warm the formula.
Instead, place the container in a warm water bath until it reaches the desired temperature.
3. Store any unused formula in the refrigerator between uses.
4. Discard any remaining formula 24 hours after mixing.

Aww, finding a 2-week-old kitten in your garage is both heartwarming and a bit of a rescue mission!
Here's a quick guide on how to care for a kitten that young:
#1. Keep the kitten warm
At 2 weeks old, kittens can't regulate their body temperature.
Use a heating pad or a warm water bottle wrapped in a towel, or sime kind of blanket.
#2. Feed kitten formula
They can't eat regular food yet.
Use kitten formula (KMR)—never cow's milk.
Feed with a bottle or syringe every 2–3 hours, including overnight.
Warm the formula slightly (test it on your wrist - it should be just warm, not hot).
