My son & daughter-in-law's cat recently had a litter of 5 kittens. They're almost 6 weeks old, are eating solid food and are using the litter box for both jobs.

awwwwwww........I see tabby markings - are they mainly tabbies?
I wonder if one of those would help our nutcase of a tortoiseshell chill out. Are there any boys out of the litter?

Of the 3 that are available, there are 2 boys and 1 girl.

They're so darn cute. We would love to take one ourselves, but we already have 3 cats.

And a dog.

And 2 guinea pigs.

Oh, yeah. And a couple of hummingbirds that we take care of (pick the spider web off them when they fly into the garage, provide feeders, etc)

oh my.....my first ever pet was a male tabby, and he was the SWEETEST thing ever.

my husband is gonna kill me. let me get him through the wedding shower I'm throwing this weekend at our house, then I'll broach this, LOL. if the kittens find homes beforehand, so be it.

thanks!

LOL... good luck!

I'll update this thread as kittens are spoken for.

I'll throw in a 7 year old sweetest cat in the world on the occasions she wants to be to anyone wanting to take umbluegray up on his offer.

Awww. Looks very similar to my cat. 1 hell raiser is enough for my small apartment though.

Sooooo..... which one do you want?

Please, please, please ask your son to have his cat spayed through one of the local low-cost programs (Mid-South Spay/Neuter.) There are not enough homes to go around for all the thousands of kittens who will be killed in "shelters" in this county alone. When someone's cat has kittens, it means others just as cute will be put to death.

I'm not judging. Those are darling kittens, and I have no way of knowing how your son came to have a pregnant cat. I am glad you all are looking for good homes. Please make sure to thoroughly check out the adopters by calling their vet because many people "gather" kittens and sell them for experimentation.
But please, please do not let that cat bring any more kittens into the world when there are thousands being put to death in this county every year. I do not mean to offend you.

Cats are wonderful, Tanya! If you want a cat that is more like a dog, Siamese are great. Maine coons are gorgeous, too. But please consider adopting a cat from a rescue group or the House of Mewes, to save a life.

Just one left!

I hope everyone was screened that took a kitten and will make them house cats. I have 3 indoor cats and 2 dogs with their own heated/.cooled glassed in porch. spay/neuter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Goodness they are adorable.

And it goes without saying, I hope the new adopters will also spay/neuter the kittens. That can be done at an early age. Midsouth Spay/Neuter Services (Animal Protection Association)

I know a lady who would love a kitten, but I'm sure her other 25 cats would be jealous.

If only the thread was titled slightly differently, I'm guessing OldManGrizz would have jumped at this chance for free kitties.
