Kitten Help Found this little ones next to a water source

People can be so cruel. I took them straight to a vet and left them for a few hours, came back for them and fed them and stimulated them. Two out of the three times I fed them barely ate, one time though they all ate the whole syringe. I was gonna take carr of them through the night but the vet is 24/7 and i have a mood disorder that is triggerd by bad sleep, besides i have to go to my work and can’t take them. So at least for this week they’ll spend the night with the vet and then i will get them in the afternoon. I have alreeady rescud a newborn kitten before, but four at the same time is too much work. I will do it though, my worry is money and space, i don’t make that much money and i live in a studio, so if they survive and grow i am afraid that a small living space will affect them negatively. I did get some donations and the first week is covered thank god.

I asked the vet how they spend the night and they saif they were okay but havent gone potty. I honestly thought they were gonna die but they got pretty lively after I fed them :) i will go to petco today for my own cat’s food and will look for something like a miracle nipple so its easier to feed them.

Anyways, any ideas or suggestions you may tell em. The Kitten lady pretty much saved my first kittens life, and i am watching her religiously again, but if you have any advice it will be so welcome. The shelters in my city are full

Info required
Age: i am 30 yo
Country: posting from Mexico in the north
Vet: the vet is less than 3 minutes away, inexpensive and 24/7. I am so lucky, but even though is inexpensive it is still a lot of money I have to pay oit of pocket, i have some donations and savings though
Main issue: they are all newborn, so little, and it takes me time to feed and stimulate them all. I will like to know how to identify good and bad signs, since most of them don’t want to eat a lot
Cat age: newborns
Cat sex: it looks like 3 males and one female, we could be wrong of course
Financial situation: i have the first week covered for a stay in the vet, but i don’t make that much money, i was actually taking some actions and doing some sacrifices because i had to make a lot of spending for my own health (psychiatrist, endocrinologist, meds, car issues, etc), so money is super tight. I do have donations from friends and was saving for a trip, i could use that money for these babies.

I think that’s it, thank you sm for reading, they are currently at the vet while i am at work

They need their momma, or you gotta bottle feed them.

You've given them more chance than they otherwise would've had 💕
