Last year I found two kittens in my yard. I found Kilowatt around Memorial day Weekend and towards the end of July Kilowatt found another kitten who we named Megabyte. I kept both and made them indoor cats. I love them so much.

Now I know I may find more kittens outside this summer ..what is the best thing to do If I can't keep them? Should I bring them to a no kill shelter?

TIA.

If you catch them at a very young age, then go ahead and take them to a no-kill shelter. If they're a bit older and wild, you may want to ask a shelter if they'll take them after you socialize them a little bit.

That's what I'd do. Also, if you find there are kittens again this spring, I'd think about getting a humane trap and trying to catch the queen and tomcat so they can be fixed and tagged, then you've really helped the problem!

Thanks for the help... I need to do some research to find the closest no kill shelter in my area.

I've noticed several feral cats in our town but none of them will let me get too close.
