Found three kittens in my soi. Keep, rehome or call someone?

We found three kittens, about four weeks old, in a box near our building. The mother is not around. I can keep them for now, but I am not sure what to feed them or how to find homes. Who can help in Thailand? What did you do in the first week?

   Don't give cow's milk, it upsets their stomach. Buy kitten milk replacer and a small bottle at a pet shop and ask a vet to show you how to feed. Keep them warm and weigh them every day. Weigh them on a kitchen scale each day, since steady gain tells you the feeding is right, and sudden weight loss means a vet visit.

   Wait a few hours to see if the mother returns before taking them, if it is safe. If she doesn't, then the vet visit comes first. Don't touch the kittens too much until you're sure the mother isn't coming back, as she may be waiting nearby for you to leave.

   Post on local rescue groups with clear photos, and ask whether a rescue can help with vaccines and sterilisation later. When rehoming, ask questions and meet adopters. If you cannot keep them, tell adopters honestly about the extra care they need, and ask the rescue group to help with the screening.
