I took in 4 feral kittens and they all got colds shortly thereafter. My vet had me use “Little Noses” saline nose drops for babies and that seemed to really help their congestion. You only use one drop per nostril.

This is horrible advice.

All animals fast when ill, because they need ALL energy to recover. They will eject food in the intestinal tract through diarrhea and vomiting.

Force feeding a cat stresses them and they throw up again, wasting more energy.

Sneezing, infected eyes, congestion are all natural actions of the body. The cat still receives nutrient, but from body stores instead of through digestion.

My cats have fasted up to 8 days. It takes a lot more than a cold to kill cats.

Hi
There are a lot of welfare groups around that might be able to help you…but you need to ask for help ‘Sometimes that means letting them have your kitten; Kittens can be very expensive to keep, so you must always think ahead. All of our animals are insured. Our cat costs under £5.00 per month to insure. That’s just giving up a take-away or a packet of fags.
Look in your phone book under Animal Charities. Then get on the telephone and tell tthem your situation. Where do you live?

Dabbing a q-tip in warm milk, and putting it all over the eye’s infection also helps. Sometimes the eyes are so infected that you can’t get them open, so you take a face-clothes, wet it with warm water, and gentally rub it over the eye, and it will open. Then a bunch of white gunk will come out, and you wipe it up with the clothe. THEN you dab the warm milk on a q-tip onto it. It really works :D
