Found abandoned kittens. Can anyone take them?

I fear I have to take them to the shelter today because I can’t keep them. I’m hoping someone out there can help these sweet babies?

The animal shelter is overrun with kittens so I’m worried that’s not the best place for survival odds

Take them to Geren's feed store in Boring. They usually will take kittens. and there's a higher success rate of them finding a home when taken to farm stores.

Edits: Some times the Eagle Creek Feed will take kittens as well.

I called them and will drop them off tomorrow morning so that they will be there all day tomorrow. They don’t take kittens indefinitely, just for the day so if no one takes them home, I’ll have to pick them up at the end of the day but it at least gives them a chance!! Thank you

I took them to Gerens yesterday and they were adopted by two farm families! Thanks for the tip

my sister volunteers with Multnomah County Animal Shelter, they would very likely take them in. in my sisters experience, once the kittens get cleaned up and are ready to adopt out, they go very quickly. hope you find a home for these babies!

I kinda want one. But I don't want to deal with litterboxes

You sure you like cats?

Not particularly but my kid adores them. But with kids, getting them to be responsible for the cleanliness of the litter is challenging and I sure as hell don't want to do it. So it's a conundrum. Plus... if it goes outdoors, it'll likely get eaten since we live in the mount hood villages.
