My thoughts exactly. I have found that if I would be looking for a new pet, I'd just check with our local vet (rural town). They get drop offs all the time. They currently have a small black lab 'living' with them. She's the sweetest thing!!

I was wondering that, too.

I can keep two of them. I have another spoken for, and I think I should have no problem giving the others away. My Veterinarian is a friend of mine and he helps me with numerous projects. I'm sure he can't wait to help with kittens!

Even if they were being taken care of by a feral mother, they would then grow to be feral too. Not something many communities are okay with. Don't worry, they will be placed with good homes who want a cat.

I am glad you are bottle feeding them but if they had stayed with their mom, it wouldn't be necessary.

I wasn't suggesting you leave them there. I just thought if you contacted the humane society or feral cat group, if there is one in your area, they could trap the mom, and then take the family as a group until the kittens are old enough to adopt out.

Now the mom is still out there, unspayed, and will probably have another litter.
