mother cat and kittens need a home. kittens were born August 2nd. we live in miami, fl. please email us if you want the whole family. thanks. Nice. I hope you're planning on holding on to them for awhile since they're like 5 days old now. They need to be with their mom until they're 8-10 weeks old. If this is your cat who had babies, you should look into spaying her and you technically are responsible for all 6 kittens being born. If she's a stray cat you brought in, that was commendable but you still need to spay her and let the kittens stay with her for another 9 weeks before you home them. I doubt if anyone is going to take the *whole* family, be real, expend some effort to get them homes or they will die. Just posting here is not the best way. Make flyers, put them in vet offices, call no-kill shelters, get the word out, and don't give them away for free. Or you could be a troll...I hope. Candace |

Hey Candace I was curious why you say not to give them away for free? What Diane said is exactly the reason. You want people who care enough to spend a little money, not someone who just takes a cat on the spur of the moment and gets tired of it a couple days later and dumps it somewhere. Plus I have heard sometimes that free animals often go to labs, etc. Obviously, if you are giving a cat to your best friend or a relative, that's a different story since you would presumably know that they really wanted a cat, but a total stranger is a different story. You want someone who *really* wants a cat. Advertising them for a price is going to weed out a lot of the riffraff. Candace |

I think most animals that are in labs are bred specifically aren't
they, so that they're "clean". I have heard of cats being stolen for the disgusting fur trade though, as I suppose it's cheaper than importing their pelts from China. I think if you are telling people that they shouldn't give surplus animals away, then surely you are encouraging people to breed and sell them. If I had to do it (which I won't as mine is fixed), I'd advertise "free to a good home" and then do a home check to decide who was going to get the animal. If they didn't agree to the home check I wouldn't let them take the animal. |
