Found 3 little cuties in my backyard and 1 escaped. Probably should have left them alone but they are cute and I don't want a fox to eat them. One is Siamese colored but longer hair. Seems as they are ok with dry food.

Flush 'em down the toilet.
Is there any sign of the mother? How old are they? How big? Don't give them dry food. You need canned kitten food, and maybe even milk safe for kittens. It's expensive and takes a lot of time to raise babies; you may want to bring them to a no kill shelter. Dry food will not help them.
I believe they are around 8+ weeks oldQuote:

No kill shelter so they get spayed, or neutered.
I'd bring them to a no-kill shelter if they were that old. There's no telling if they've been socialized, or if the mother has shown them everything kittens need to know. Otherwise, do you have tie and money to care for and raise two feral kittens?
At 8 weeks dry kitten food will work. All. Of the cats I have had over the years started out their lives as feral kittens, they are also the best mousers. I agree about the spaying or neutering, but don't do that until they are 6 months old or so. They will not develop correctly without the harmones in their adolescent growth period. There are long haired Siamese cats, I had one that was again a feral kitten. If you can care for them, keep them. If not then a shelter, or find a friend with kids and let the kids come overand play with them. They will be gone quick enough. [LOL]
I have more cats then I want now so I will not be keeping these. They are cute as hell though.Quote:
