Hello. If the kittens were premature, then you have to wonder why. Perhaps Simba has some underlying condition or disease that caused the early delivery. I do not think the temperature is to blame, but you can try cooling Simba & her kitten down by indirectly placing a fan near her. Having the fan blow over a couple of frozen pop bottles will also cool things down a bit. But there is really very little you or I could do to save such a tiny kitten. If you decide to let Simba have another litter, make sure she is free of diseases like leukemia & feline immunodeficiency virus, that she is up to date on all appropriate vaccinations, & wormed for the common intestinal parasites in your area.
