I recommend Cans of soft kitten food you should find on the pet section of your local grocery store. Or feed them small sections of hard cat food and some kitten food and smashing them together is good too so your cat can enjoy both.

a mother cat (queen) should produce its own milk for the kittens but if it dose not produce milk of for some reason the kittens cant get the kitten milk you can buy special milk from the pet shop do not get it mistaken for the milk you get for cats in a bottle like whiskers for kittens that's the wrong kind you need to get the specialised powder on or an alternative that is just as safe and good is to buy baby powder milk

PS don't listen to the scam making sa

Is it ok for a young cat with no kittens to produce milk and to start feeding 12 week old kittens?

Mom cats often adopt another cat's litter, especially if the mom recently gave birth. For young kittens, that's okay BUT mom will need more food with protein (e.g. a good dry and wet food). However, 12-week old kittens should NOT be nursing. Separate the older kittens from their "adopted" mom and get them onto dry food.

First and foremost...keep them warm! Get them to a vet or a resuce that handles rejected neonate kittens.

Can a kitten eat adult food?

After a kitten is weaned between 7 - 10 weeks of age, they should be fed kitten food, although feeding adult food will not harm it. Many premium foods are suitable for kittens and adults. Kittens and cats need the same nutrients - both are strict carnivores and get all their needs from meat. Kittens, until they reach adulthood at 1 year of age generally need twice as much protein as an adult cat. Kittens are constantly growing and developing! Don't be surprised if you are feeding your kitten much more than you would an adult cat. Also, kittens have small stomachs, so the best method of feeding is "little and often".
