Hi
I just got a call from a friend of mine. Her friend had 5 black and white kittens dropped off in their garage last night. The SPCA said to wait overnight to see if momma came back, which she didn't. The kittens are very very young and haven't been fed in at least 24 hours. She just called to see if I "Wanted" them. Basically neither of them can take the cats, and the SPCA isn't calling them back. My friend says that her friend told her that they had stopped meowing and are now "quiet but breathing". We have 4 cats in the house currently, and have raised kittens in the past (with mom's help) but never taken in strays. I also finish my job tomorrow, and am going back to school in January, so I've got some extra time in the next couple of months. Is it safe for me to take these kittens in, or should I leave them to fate? What do I need to know immediately??? Please, any thoughts or suggestions.
Thanks
Jess
