    My mom found 7 kittens outside of her work on monday. [Mother was killed] and as I live in Fl we just had the hurricane blow through and the humane society wasn’t open. [Spent about 2 hours finding a store with replacer milk].

    I’ve been feeding them since monday, but my smallest kitten has just opened her left eye about 1/4th of the way. There’s no gunk yet, and as these are my firsts I don’t know, is there any thing I’m supposed to be doing for it? To keep it clean. All I’ve seen so far is help for matted eyes.

    Sorry for any unnecessary info.

    Wow, 7 kittens! Bless you for the most rewarding job you have taken on! I will post some links for you on checking the age of your kittens and on hand rearing. Keeping their eyes clean by wiping them with a warm damp wash cloth is best for now. It may just be that they are starting to open their eyes. They will eventually need to see a vet, especially if they get gunky, matted eyes.
