The kittens have been bathed but a great deal of ink still remains embedded in their fur
The charity said it that is has been bathing the kittens in the hope the ink could be gradually removed.
Children are not thought to have been responsible for this horrendous act.
Charity volunteer Katie Jane Lloyd stated: “This is a dreadful act of cruelty and who knows what untold damage this may have caused.
“While there is still a lot of ink on them, I have been very lucky to liaise with the veterinary poisons information service, who have offered me much advice to safely and systematically remove it.”
Police had been responding to an animal welfare issue involving a different animal at the property when these two kittens were discovered.
