Help me to make a decision. A mama cat and her three kittens showed up about three weeks ago. (We like cats and already have a cat.) We have found a good home for one of them but can't place the other two. We cannot care for them. So far, we've let them be "barn cats" and live outside. We keep them supplied with good food and fresh water and they are very happy playing and scampering about. There's a storage shed for them to use as shelter.
We're going to have to take them to the animal shelter before they grow too much more. They might stand a slight chance of being adopted but I seriously doubt it. At the shelter they keep them for several days, sometimes a couple of weeks before declaring them non-adoptable and euthanizing them.
If we take them to the shelter they'll surely be confined to a small cage and suffer until they are euthanized.
I hate to even think about it, but I'm considering taking them to my vet and have him euthanize them painlessly and get it over with. Would it be more kind to do this than to take them to the shelter where they will be confined and suffer on death row while awating execution?
And suggetions will be greatly appreciated.
