Not necessarily depending on how experienced a person is in taking care of a newborn kitten. However, the first 2-3 weeks of a newborn kitten is the most critical phase and best taken care by the mother itself as this is the time where they are very fragile and dies easily due to sickness. Even a first timer inexperienced mother couldn't handle their kittens properly sometimes and resulted in their death. After that it should be fine.

The weird thing is, where is the other kitten?And for the 3-4 days, do u mean they have been "appearing" at day and "dissapearing" at night?

p/s - speaking from almost 20 years experience as stray cats lover correct me if i'm wrong.

The person who did this must be really irresponsible. I think whoever doing this just wanted to get rid of the kittens, if i were the person, i would at least feed them until at least 1-2 months old, then release them onto the lorong while keeping an eye on them everyday to feed them until they get used to stray cats live slowly. Then only they will be able to take care of themselves from that time onwards. Stray cats are strong =)

Maybe there's a reason why they are doing that. As long as the kittens are sheltered properly from rain and sunshine and fed, it should be alright. Have you tried asking the neighbour what are they intending to do with the kittens?
