Can you get hold of canned evaporated milk? There are several recipes on the internet using that, and it is widely available. If you can get them to suck from an eye dropper or a small syringe with the needle removed, you may be able to raise them. You will also need to encourage them to toilet - massaging tummies with a warm damp cloth. Plan on feeding every 3 hours or so day and night - it is a big commitment.

I don't know I have no experience but I was told once you can add a little bit of mayonnaise - but this website might help with recipes
https://www.hdw-inc.com/glop.htm
I believe the idea is whole milk, yoghurt, mayonnaise, egg yolk and some syrup. Please research this properly though, don't take my word for it as I have no experience or knowledge of raising orphaned kittens.
