Finding a home for a foster

I'm currently fostering a cat for the local Humane Society. She just had a litter of kittens five days ago. Obviously they will all be with me for quite a while longer, but I've been thinking about the best way to find mama a new home. Once the kittens are weaned, she will be spayed and I have the option to try to adopt her out from my home, or take her back to the shelter to be adopted. The shelter is a very nice no-kill facility with very several housing areas and playrooms for the cats, so I wouldn't feel bad about taking her there. Personally, if I were looking for a cat, I would go to a shelter where I could see several different cats in person and possibly adopt one that day. If I were to adopt her out from my home, a person would have to contact me and make an appointment to see her, and then go to the shelter to fill out the paperwork, then return the paperwork to me before they could take her home. There's certainly an excess of homeless cats in this city and I don't know how likely potential adopters would be to go to the extra effort to find her. She's a cute little girl, not timid and generally sweet (unless you're trying to medicate her or take her temperature), and I want to give her the best possible chance of finding a new home. Would love some opinions. Thanks!

I would take them back to the shelter, but prior to doing that you could do what a foster mom of mine does, and that is post about them with pictures and updates daily on Facebook ( w/ privacy set to allow the public at large to see it) and each time saying when they will go to the shelter for adoption, and allowing people to put a "hold" on one in advance, but letting them know when its time to adopt they will meet the kitten at the shelter.  If they fail to show up to claim the kitten they will lose the "hold" and the kitten will be available to all (and you let them know this) and obviously this concept has to work with your shelter's rules.If the shelter doesn't allow "holds" you can still publicize them and give an adoption date.

They don't allow holds, but I can promote the cats prior to them being available. People can visit them at my home and should they decide to adopt, they day after the cats/kittens are fixed, they can go to the Humane Society and fill out the adoption paperwork. Adopters benefit from adopting an animal in foster care because the adoption fee is half-price, and they have a sneak preview of the animal before it's posted publicly on the Humane Society website. After they're fixed, I have the option to bring them back home with me, and continue to try to find homes for them, or I can leave them at the shelter, where they'll go into the general population. I had planned to keep the kittens with me because I think it will be easier to find homes for them than it will be for the mother.

You can list them on rescueme dot org which has its own web site and also is on facebook and get inquiries that way also.
