Dumped Kittens update

UPDATE***
After trying each and every suggestion we found a few different fosters to include our own Reddit community! I will update with the full ending and hopefully photos tomorrow. I can’t thank you enough

Thank you to this community for giving me us so much encouragement throughout this and plenty of reading material last night. Now onto the update, it’s kinda long and rambling sorry, sleep deprived.

All 12 are still alive! There are 2 that are still acting lethargic but are still eating but are also the smallest. I think they are maybe 2 weeks old as their eyes are open but ears are folded. Also, more than half either don’t have a tail or has less than held of one. No trauma seen. This morning, once petsmart opens I will get some kitten replacement formula. And continue to feed them and at least keep them warm, loved and with a full belly while I have them.

So, the ACO officer told me to bring them back Tuesday as that is when they can contact their fosters to take them but I have reserve about bring them there. It is not a no kill shelter and there isn’t one in the immediate area. The one cat charity is incredibly hard to work with. Both on them taking kittens and adopting from them, which is their choice I suppose.

I am hesitant on posting my location on here but I obviously need help. I have surgery in 2 weeks and can’t keep bottle feeding 12 kittens until they are of age to adopt. And even if I could, I don’t know 10 people that want a kitten as we would like to keep 2 but not 12 (despite my son’s protest ).

I hate to ask for more advice but is anyone familiar with an organization that takes bottle babies in the DFW? I don’t have facebook or Nextdoor and we live in a small town outside of DFW. But I’m willing to drive/coordinate for these sweet beans. Before and after photos.

Thank you again,
TLDR: all 12 are still alive but I need help finding a bottle fed kitten organization is DFW.

There’s going to be lots of learning as we go, & our site has already had some surprises. We’re excited! (And I’m also nervous.)
