There's always the WalMart option.

A poster board that says "Free Kitties". Saturday in the WalMart parking lot and it'll take less than an hour.

I found a cute short haired dog with no tag. I kept it in my backyard for several days and would have adopted it if my Huskies had taken to it. This dog knew "fetch", "come" "sit" and for the most part was more intelligent than my huskies. When I took him to my WalMart, one of the first people to ask was a woman with a stroller. She asked whether the dog was well mannered, and as if on cue he stood on his hind legs perched on the stroller and began to lick the baby!! the woman said "that's a fine dog and my 7 year old will take to him". 22 minutes!!!

Oh no. Please don't do that. You have NO IDEA what people might do to them! They could be wanting them for any number of diabolical reasons. I don't want to get graphic, because this is a "feel good" thread.

Your best course of action would be to try a local pet store. Or try putting up a sign where you work. We recently came across a stray kitten (I think the mother pushed her out on her own), gave her a flea bath (you should too, I can almost guarantee you they are loaded with them), had her for a week, and someone from my husband's work took her. Little "Abby" is doing quite well now (Thanks go to Chris and Krista from Rock 107!).

Also , at that age, they shouldn't be too much trouble. You can probably still keep them in a box so they are out of harm's way. But when they hit 7 weeks, look out!

They make kitten formula in cans now and all of the above posts are good advice as far as feeding them.

Good luck and God Bless the little kitties!
(I'd take one, but we're up in the NE, and already have three terrors of our own!)
