Well...instead of laying it on them...why not contact them and ask about why they are giving these kittens away at such a young age. Oftentimes joe average is unaware that kittens should stay with their mom until they are 8-12 weeks of age. I also find that being kind works a LOT better than being stern with someone.

Oklahoma is not too good for kittens either. They separate them from their mothers at 6 weeks here. I also heard they spay at 3-4 weeks. Awful.

Spaying/neutering at five weeks old? OMG. that is why I haven't layed it on the above persons yet, wanted to cool off for a bit, before I call. i was surprised because it wasn't even at six weeks were ppl think it is good to let them go. I prefer twelve, but at least eight weeks.

I highly doubt that is true. 3-4 weeks is waaaay too tiny! Probably it's 3-4 months, which is actually a great thing.

You could always call and take the kittens for a couple of weeks and then find good homes for them yourself. It's at least something to think about.
