Sadly the kindest thing you can do with the deformed kittens is have them put to sleep. They are not likely to have any quaility of life is they are badly deformed and you cannot know what internal deformities they have.
It is always a sad situation but it would be unfair to put them through a few painful weeks of life.
With the less badly deformed kittens the vet maybe able to perform surgery to help them and keep them alive, be under no illusion though, it will NOT be cheap.

I hope things turn out well for you

Thanks for your help ,but my parents WILL NOT TAKE ANY ANIMAL TO THE VET cause they do not want to pay ANY money to even get them checked and I have been doing research on animals sence I was7 or 8 and I do not even know what I could do. Even though they are going to a pet store if they make it I want them to survive and be adopted to a good family that will take them to a vet once in a while. Oh the one person that has the username "Isis" that is an egyptian godess. do you like egypt? Anyways please help, anyone, I need more advise.

...I'd pray for them and continue taking care for them in any way I could...
This happens, and it's nature. You never know, they may pull through, or perhaps their lives will end shortly. I'm sorry this has to happen, just try and comfort them, and love them.

OTHERWARDS, some cities have spceial programs where they will help your pet for free in return for volunteer work. And let me tlel you, volunteer work for animal shelters is a wonderful experience. So call your local humane society and see if there is anything your county offers as far as emergency care for broke folks.

Hi my kitten, I'm very sorry to hear about your kitties. It's very sad for you. If they are as sick as you say they are, then only a vet can do anything really constructive for them.
Perhaps there is an animal welfare association who would take them, and do what is needed.

Perhaps for the future, as your parents won't ever allow visits to the vet, you should think very carefully about having any pets for the moment. All animals can get sick or hurt, and be in pain, and need medical attention. And if this happens to you, you will only go through this sadness again.

I feel really bad for you. I think the kindest thing would be to put them to sleep, too. I really wish there was some way I could help!

Best wishes for you and the kittens
