Welcome. First of all, this is an international forum.  Unfortunately it is very unlikely that you will be able to find anyone here to take this kitten.  With that said, unless you are willing to transport the kitten overseas or vast distances, knowing your location would help 


Good places to start trying to place cats are vets offices and craigslist. Always charge a small fee to weed out people who might be looking to use the kittens for bad purposes (like as snake food) or who are not serious about owning a cat. Before placing the kittens be sure to speak to the people who want to adopt them.  You need not print out a formal questionnaire or conduct a formal interview if you are uncomfortable with it (though some people do) but you should have a decent length talk with them and at a minimum cover the topics of

-Why they want a kitten/kittens

-If they have had cats or other pets before. If not, why not (should not be asked in an accusatory way- plenty of good reasons why not). If so, if they still have those pets and if not what happened to them. If they do still have the pets, how they plan to introduce them to the new kitten. who their vet is or was.

-Who is in their household other than them. (kids? significant others?)

-Views on declawing

-What would cause them to give up the kitten
