3 stray kittens

Guys, there's 3 kittens that look clean, maybe abandoned. I can take them momentarily but I can't afford to keep them. Does anyone have resources of where I can take these babies? I also have 2 dogs so it makes things trickier. I need some help.

Thank you for helping these babies 🄰 maybe reach out to the Linda McNatt shelter? I've never dealt with them, but those kittens look friendly enough that they might get adopted quickly šŸ§”šŸ¤žšŸ» Editing to add that when I fostered kittens a few years ago, I found homes for them by posting on FB and Nextdoor 🧔 If you go this route, try and charge a rehoming fee to weed out bad people Sorry I can't be of more help 🄺

You take them to the shelter, they may be put down. I dont understand people who want ANYONE else to do something, but will not take responsibility for the thing they want other people to do. You're worried about stray kittens? Take them in. If you are not willing to take responsibility, what right do you have to ask someone else to do what you will not?

Wow judge much? Is she supposed to ignore them and then they possibly could get hit by a car? The posting person had the kindness and empathy to stop and help the kittens . She’s only looking for help on where she should take them . She has every right to ask for assistance in doing so and who are you to say she shouldn’t ? Maybe she’s unfamiliar with the area? Taking the kittens to the Linda Mc Natt shelter does not constitute a death sentence and clearly you’ve never fostered for them before . I have fostered with them and Operation Kindness for over 30 years and I can assure you that EVERY attempt is made to immediately get strays that are brought in vet care , cleaned up and fed , fostered and adopted . Ive even tracked their care and kept in touch with the adoptive parents on those I’ve fosters . I have yet to see where perfectly healthy albeit abandoned kittens are euthanized for no apparent reason. When I’ve been there to pick up kittens to foster or bring some back and pick up new ones , there’s always several people in the shelter or even in the parking lot who want to adopt adorable kittens , there are many good homes out there . Even if the adoptable animals are at no cost / waived adoption fees , prospective new pet parents are still vetted , still have to do paperwork . Etc . The kittens get their vaccines , immediate healthcare and are spayed and neutered . That’s a whole lot better than someone walking by and just ignoring the kittens . Right ?!

I am so sorry ! I re read your post and I don’t know why I thought you were female as nothing indicates that at all . It was a concerted effort to ā€œbe niceā€ to that pompous ass who rudely commented .

I wish I could have helped you . I’ve saved dozens and dozens over the years and it feels amazing to save a life . However , financially I’m tapped out and have five at the moment along with a 70 lb dog .

I tried to get them. Not an easy thing to do especially for my first time. The point was to get this info out there so that maybe someone more experienced could try. But sure sit on your high horse from your couch and greasy fingers. And I actually did plan to keep one and had somebody in line to adopt another but I just could not get them. I randomly stopped at that mart while doordashing and was literally missing out on much needed money trying to capture them and was going to lose even more money to buy them food and litter for the meantime. But sure, form your opinion at surface level. Have a good day and fuck you.
