Many people find hand raising kittens rewarding.
The kittens need a clean, warm, draft-free place during the early weeks of life. You can keep these high temperatures with heating pads, light bulbs, or heat lamps. Always cover heating pads with three or four layers of towels. Take great care not to overheat or burn the kittens when they are too young to be able to move away from the heat source. A tall cardboard box makes a safe nest to keep the kittens in until they are several weeks old.
