Cant find homes for kittens?

i have a litter of black and white kittens very cute.located in idaho.and i have run ads in the local paper and even online and cant find homes for them.I already called the spca and they dont want them and my landlord is getting very mad so i need to find homes for them asap...any suggestions please.if i could just find someone in my area that could take them all and find homes for them so i dont get kicked out would be great but i know a lot of people wont take 4 baby kittens all at one time.but never hurts to wish and hope right lol

Cant find homes for kittens?
Contact a local cat rescue foundation. Here are a few sites to help you find one:

Good Luck!





I like the idea mentioned above about sitting in front of a busy store like Walmart. I see people who do that all the time and they usually have hones for their animals in a short time. Its better than just dropping them off somewhere and better than getting kicked out of your apartment. Also, look into gatting thier mother spayed (if she is with you). Call the SPCA usually they will offer low priced spays.
Reply:If I was there I'd take them for you. I applaud you for not throwing them out to fend for themselves. Try putting them in a box and sitting with them outside a busy store- you're likely to have people see them and want them. Its harder for people to say 'no' when they see the cute little fuzzies in reality, and not in an ad. Good luck!
Reply:I'm startled by the 'sit in front of Wal-Mart with kittens in a box, etc' advice -- is that an American thing? I've never seen it before, and have a hard time imagining it leading to great homes.





Anyway, how well are you 'selling' them? I'm casually looking for a 2nd cat (am nowhere near you, though), and ignore:





'Kittens -- free. Call (XXX) XXX-XXXX.'





But I'm searching out stuff that tells me about their temperament, whether or not they've seen a vet, exactly how old they are, whether they've been kept indoors, how much human contact they've had, that has pictures, etc, etc. The more detail the better, and the better the details, the better. 'Now eating dry food (Eukanuba brand; bag included), comes with toys...' is a bit of a plus; makes 're-homing' that much easier. If somebody just says 'come take these kittens,' I tend to doubt that they've been very well cared for. Frankly, I feel better about the whole business when somebody asks for a small adoption fee. You might consider asking for enough per kitten to be able to get Mom spayed...





And, if you still can't find any takers, see if any of these places would help you?

Reply:did you know that 80 % of all "free to good home" kittens do NOT find good homes??? people like yourself cannot screen prospective new owners well enough - you cannot determine if that nice family is going to use the kitten for snake food, to train an illegal fighting dog to kill or going to sell it for research...





most SPCA's have to help animals in need, and will not turn away any animal, I used to work at an SPCA and we even had a night drop box (cages that people could leave animals in over night)





best thing you can do... is spay your mom cat so this problem doesnt happen again - MILLIONS of kittens are without homes, and ever kitten born is part of the problem


good luck
Reply:Get the mom cat fixed so this does not happen again!


Too many unwanted cats and dogs in the world!
Reply:i'll have them for you i live in tigard oregon
Reply:go to any bulletin boards you can find...post a notice ...or go online to a message board for animals...
Reply:Hi. It's unfortunate that I cannot take them, I'm in New Jersey.... but I just wanted to thank you for keeping them in spite of your angry landlord. I think that is a really noble and sweet thing and I am sure that it will not be hard to find homes for four beautiful kittens. Have you tried craigslist?
