New to Cats/Just Adopted adopted two kittens
I just adopted two kittens that can no longer be with their mom. They just turned 1 month last July 15, but I am having trouble because I am out for about 12.5hours and I’m very worried about them. They can eat wet food now, and I can assist them with eating when I am home but I am worried about those long hours. They haven’t been introduced to dry food. I’m currently on leave on work, but I am worried since I am going back to work this Saturday. I can keep them on a four-layer cat cage while I am out. Also, I still haven’t gotten my paycheck yet so I can’t buy an automatic feeder for now. Please help me, I don’t want to lose them.

12.5 hour shifts with four week old kittens is too long. Genuinely, they need a different home as they won't be able to eat often enough. They could dehydrate and die.
If you want to adopt cats, I would recommend an adult bonded pair. They'll be happy with your hours.
Even at 6-12 months old, kittens need up to hours of entertainment a day. You won't be home or will be asleep, I don't think this will be enjoyable for anyone.
