Someone dropped off two newborn kittens at the shelter this morning

The umbilical cords were still attached. They had no hair on their tiny paws. They were screaming and sounded healthy but they were cold. I wonder if some mommy cat is looking for them, or if it was a young mommy who didn't know what was happening. I don't know if they'll make it. Our foster coordinator said they were too cold to even eat, and we don't have a mama kitty with kittens young enough to accept them. They're on a warmer, but we're all scared for them

but the medical team said to warm them up before trying to feed them. They seemed strong (screaming and squirming) but were cold so the primary thing was to warm them first,
