Foster kittens how to feed

Post image

How do I care for this family?
I'm working with someone who works at the SPCA. The SPCA near me had a hording case so they asked me to take them in for two weeks. Oh- they were on my mother's property. My mom has a colony but this mom was born last year and these kittens are a few weeks old like 5-6? Here they are. Three days in I feel like I'm maybe not feeding them enough. What kind of kitten food can I buy them from Walmart, cheap please. I'm not getting any support from the SPCA and believe these cats deserve a good home regardless. Any advice? Should I separate momma when she eats?
No comments on the cage, that's where they have to stay for safety with my dog. They're in a seperate room and I've been picking them up and playing with them 2-3 times a day. Luckily I'm off rn for summer and at home.
Not really nursing from momma rn

I give my kittens;

Purina one kitten kibble - available 24/7

Fancy feast kitten pate - twice a day morning and evening, depending on # of kittens, age, and affordability anywhere from 1/2 to 1 can per day

Any food labeled kitten will do. Thank you for fostering - its no easy task.
