Okay, so...

My family is close to this other family, okay? Their cat accidentally got out of the house one day. She went into heat before they could find her, and a big Tom found her instead. Now there are two-month-old kittens who need homes.

I am freaking out for them. I would take one in a heartbeat, but of course I can't, since we have fifty million animals in this house! They want to give them away, but I know some crazy person will take them for torture or feeding them to other animals.

So what to do? Craig's List is too dangerous. How do we even know the paper is safe these days? No one at church, work, or school wants them. I was hoping there might be someone on here that lives close that I KNOW would take care of them.

They're not my kittens, you know, but I saw them when they were only 3 weeks old, and I've been cuddling and playing with them ever since. I just worry about their safety and finding new, furever purrfect homes.

Anyone have advice?

How about making sure that every family who wants to adopt the kittens comes by the house so you and the owners can watch them as they interact with the kittens. Is it also possible to have visitation rights for a period of time after they have taken the kittens?

How about contacting trusting friends and family members to help look around within their circle of friends for good homes for these kittens?

How about a no kill rescue or a foster organization. I am scared too about some whack job wanting my babies but I am going to screen and screen and then screen some more. Since they are not yours you are in a tough position.

I see you are in Athens, how about looking toward taking them somewhere in Atlanta?
