A charity in Rotherham is battling to save these tiny kittens after their mum tragically died in childbirth.
Rain Rescue said the tiny furballs - weighing just 48 grams each, about the same as a thick slice of bread - were born on Thursday, August 10 after the cats' mother Flora went into premature labour.
Sadly, Flora and three of her litter died and the four survivors are now being hand-fed.
Rain Rescue has appealed for help to cover the vet bills.

00:00 A charity in Rotherham is battling to save these tiny kittens after their mum tragically
00:06 died in childbirth. The tiny furballs, weighing just 48 grams each, about the same as a thick
00:13 slice of bread, were born on Thursday after the cat's mother Flora went into premature
00:18 labour, but the fifth baby became stuck and was eventually stillborn, with Flora also
00:24 losing two other kittens before passing away herself. The survivors are now being hand-fed
00:30 by staff at Reign Rescue, an animal charity in Wickersley, Rotherham. It had taken pregnant
00:35 Flora in after she was passed from person to person, and the owner she ended up with
00:39 could not afford the £200 vet bill. Reign Rescue took Flora to Croft Vets in Bolsover,
00:46 where the nurses did all they could to save Flora and her litter. Between them, the charity
00:50 and Croft Vets are determined to ensure the four remaining fighters pull through.
