But we don't know her situation.
Once a let a cat into my house in the middle of a blizzard and she had kittens in my kitchen. Not my cat, I was just giving her a warm place to stay so she didn't freeze to death. Could I afford to take her and the kittens to the vet? NoI could barely afford to feed myself at the time, the cat food and litter I got for them was a hard ship but the poor thing didn't have any where else to go and it was as I pointed out the dead of winter. But I made do, helped the cat out, eventually found homes for her and her babies.
We don't always choose to be in the situations we're in. What's important here is that this person has some orphaned babies and she came here for help on how to care for them. Not to make her feel terrible (which she clearly already is). So lets stick to that for the time being and save the lectures for when we're all more informed.
