kitten
Part of the answer depends on the age of the kittens. A kitten should not be taken from its mother until it is at least 7 weeks old. After that, if you’ve been assured by a vet that they’re healthy, you can start looking for homes.
You can take the kittens to an animal shelter. If you’re concerned that the kittens may be put to sleep at a shelter, don’t be. The Humane Society rarely has to euthanize young, healthy animals, and kittens are in high demand this time of year, since the holidays are approaching and they’re in short supply.
If you want to make the decision about where your kittens go, you can put an ad in the newspaper or on an online database like Craig’s List. Keep in mind that, in order to ensure the cats go to a good home, you should ask questions of your applicants about how they intend to care for the kitten and charge a nominal adoption fee. If someone complains about a $30 fee, chances are they don’t have the resources to properly care for a pet.
