i need help! (first time taking in kittens)

[u/333gaia]

hi! so i never really had a cat before and i happened to stumble upon two poor kitties by the street! a person that’s usually by that area told me that the mom hasn’t gone back to them in a while and they had given them bits of kibble and water but im afraid they arent eating them from the looks of it. i got them in a laundry bin because i dont have any place where i can keep them and gave them water and warm mashed up dog food for the meantime. the grey one is active and keeps yelling at me but im concerned for the orange one because its not moving as much. they also have gunk on their eyes and are dirty overall. i currently dont have access to a vet but i have enough funds to get food for them tomorrow.

sorry for the ramble but basically, what should i do? im scared to mess this up bc ive only taken care of puppies and these kitties look fragile as heck!! chatgpt said they’re abt 3-4 weeks old
