My Russian blue...Kiki poo. He's 3. He's the only one I haven't has as a kitten.
There are many tortie lovers here @Mamanyt1953
The are all just beautiful I'm so glad you joined.
In most states, if you find a pet, and make a good-faith effort to find the owners, the pet is legally yours after a set number of days. Usually around 10-14 days, but certainly less than 2 months. You can call Animal Control or Google around to find the law in your area. Because you called AC, they'll have your call on file. So legally you've fulfilled all requirements, even if the cat was theirs at some point (which I doubt). And if they aren't supposed to have pets they definitely won't win a lawsuit, lol. So you're fine, just put them all on block and forget about it.

I'm guessing the fact that she's not allowed to have pets and never thought I'd look her up, is why she never responded with answers about KitKat. Well that and she doesn't know the answers.

Thank you 
I'm glad I joined too.
My sister just lost her purrbaby to cancer. She was 9 years old, healthy ragdoll kitty. One day fine, next day during. It hit my sister hard. Then she found out a week later her other cat has cancer as well. They have her on meds which are helping, but only helping the sweet kitty until her day.
When I found KitKat, my initial thought was if I cannot find the owners I'd drive the 14 hours north and give her to my sister. I'm moving up there at the end if summer but now I've become attached to KitKat

KitKat was not chipped when I found her. Neither kitty was. I have set an appointment to have KitKat chipped. Though I doubt she would run away, I'd feel better doing it.
For whatever reason, KitKat is TERRIFIED of outside. My other 3 purr babies are lead trained and I take them on walks everyday as long as the weather permits it.
I attempted to take KitKat out on a lead a couple weeks ago, and when I set her in the grass, she got so scared she climbed up my body to get on my shoulder and under my hair. (She loves snoozing under my hair as its super long, thick and curly lol)
I'm going to wait until she's older to try again.

I have a wonderful but sad update on the other kitty my ex neighbor gave to that evil woman.
Good news.....I received a call from animal control after calling this morning about Oreo (my son named her) and informing them who she's with. They pulled the court case and seeing they are the people from the article, animal control went and picked Oreo up.
She's safe and OK.
Bad news....when AC picked up Oreo, her right eye is bloodshot and was bleeding from a gash on the outside the same eye.
I'm just overjoyed she's now safe.

Poor Oreo! So glad AC acted quickly. Hopefully Oreo can tame up some and find a home. If the kill rate is high at AC and Oreo isn't friendly you might want to ask about taking her and finding a feral colony (or keeping her as your own outdoor kitty).
If you don't have the microchip in your other cats it is a good idea to do that too. Where I am at least, microchips are the prime owner identification if there is ever any dispute and the are quick, easy and cheap to get. Make sure you register the microchip with the manufacture of the chip as well as whatever registration service is recommended by you vet. I also have my cats registered as dog with the local animal control so that if they get picked up and put their microchips in the system they will pop as owned (they don't have a way to register cats, so I just pay annual dog license fees). Granted they will pop as dogs but at least my local AC doesn't pay much attention to that; they pop in any microchip in the same database regardless of species.

I contacted a lady I know who fosters kitties, stray and abandoned, and she picked Oreo up at AC this evening.
Oreo is a great kitty, very loving and sweet. She just hated being indoors and didn't get along with my Ollie when I did bring her in because of weather, like if it was 45 and below and when we had our hurricane not long ago (2nd one).
I'm going to do just that and get all 4 of my purr-babies chipped. I have faith they won't run away being indoor kitties since birth (except kiki being abandoned and spending some time outdoors where I found him). I know kiki had at one time had an owner because of how well trained he was when I found him. Its sad because when living on a military base, so many pets get abandoned because owners won't take them when they get new orders to move. Especially the ones being stationed overseas like in Germany. Quarentine is minimum 6 weeks and you have to pay it, the Army won't.
When our family was stationed to Germany when I was 10 in 1986 mom didn't want to take my cat I grew up with as quarantine was 12 weeks then. So we asked my grandmother to watch her til we came back in 1990. A month after arriving in Germany we were told by grandma that she 'accidently' let kitty kitty meow meow out (she was strictly indoor since birth, was 8 yrs old) and she was run over and died.
My parents let my sister and I get hamsters while in Germany BC their life span isn't normally more than 4 years. Lol
Somewhere I got off track lol
Anyway, I have faith they wouldn't run away, but you can never say never. If my kitties got out somehow I know they'd stay close, unless they were spooked or chasing a squirrel. So definitely getting them chipped in 2 weeks.

My thanks to @kittensmom for alerting me so I could see your beautiful cats! I'm one of those with a strong tortie bias! I'm told by shelter/rescue organizations that they can be even harder to place that black cats! Welcome to the site!
See I knew you'd want to show up and drool at this little beauty.

BTW, did you know that "kiki" is Hawaiian for "little child?"
