Oh these poor little kitties! Thank you for taking them in. They truly need veterinary care because they need to have the eyes checked to be sure they don't have corneal ulcerations, and they likely need medicated eye ointment or drops that is not available over the counter. I would make an appointment at the vet to see them ASAP. In the meantime, you can try to gently remove the crusted debris around their eyes by holding a clean wet cloth over the soiled fur to help soften the discharge and attempt to wipe it off or brush it out. You can also try to rinse the eyes with sterile eye wash available at most pet stores but they do truly need veterinary care to treat the condition. Best of luck to you and your kitties. Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach!
