They are on the way to the rescue place as I type this.
They will bottle feed them, fix them and hopefully find them homes.
They seem very fat and healthy.
If you are serious PM me in the next 30 minutes.
I can call the person delivering them to meet you somewhere if we live in your area.

Sorry they are gone.
They have just been accepted by a rescue organizaion.
They will finish weaning them, get them used to humans, fix them, give them shots, get them to a vet and find homes for them.
They are very healthy, young and cute.
They will get good care now.
I'm sure they will be fine.

I dont know who or where the mama was.
The kittens were very well fed so she isn''t far, but I haven''t seen her - but I AM busy installing a vinyl floor in my kitchen today.
I probably should drop what I am doing and dedicate the rest of the day, and a few days to catching her and fixing her.
But I''m busy.
At least I stopped 4 of her offspring from breeding or being killed by the crows.
I will keep an eye out and consider trapping her though.

So absolutely adorable! The last one looks like a little mini Scotty (my buff tabby).... Bless your heart Kenny. !!!!!
Even if you can't find mama, you've done her a huge favor..feeding and caring for kitties is a huge burden...
And it cracks me up how they are all completely different...black to buff LOL

THey are sooo cute!!! We found some baby kitties a few years ago...someone left them in a box BEHIND THE TIRE OF A PARKED CAR. I shudder to think what would have happened if we hadn''t found them and the owner of the car didn''t notice.
We thought about taking them the local pound (we didn''t know any other place to call) warned us if they weren''t adopted in two weeks they would put them to sleep. We were so upset to hear that we decided not to hand them over. We were med students and knew we didn''t have the time to keep them, but we figured we would find some way to work things out. So we took the to Petsmart vet, who told us they were two weeks old, showed us how to bottlefeed them, how to wean them, how to teach them to use the litter box --> all for free. DIdn''t charge us. Can''t say enough how great that palce is! So we fed them, weaned them, wiped their tiny kitty tushies and found a couple to adopt them when they were 4 months old. THey are now fat little princesses,but i prefer to remember the when they still fit in the palms of my hands! Oh here are pics of my babies while we still had them.

Kenny, it is possible for a cat to become pregnant by more than one cat at a time, and have kittens with different fathers in the same litter. It''s called superfecundity. It''s actually pretty commone with cats, because often cats will mate with more than one male when they are in heat. That''s why it''s really improtant not to let a female cat roam when she''s in heat (better yet, have her spayed). It''s also possible for the same thing to happen with humans! Very rare, but possible!

Kenny, those kittens are ADORABLE!!! too cute!
I can''t imagine them staying in the shelter too long, how could anyone pass those up?
Do you think the cat you''ve been hearing is the mom calling for her kittens? That is sad
but ultimately if they''re not on the streets that is better
And yes, cats can have different fathers and be from the same litter. I think I posted my Kishu and his sister Ally on the No Dogs Allowed thread and they look totally different, Ally is beautiful solid grey, sleek & slender, and then mine has marbleish tabby markins and has a very husky athletic build. They don''t look related at all.

I would think it''s possible with almost any animal. I think the reason it''s just so much more common with cats is because there are just a lot more stray cats running around than stray dogs. I know a woman who breeds dogs, and when her female is in heat, and she wants to do a selective breeding with a particular stud, she sort of "sequesters" her female dog until she''s bred with the selected mate and doesn''t allow her to come in contact with any other dogs until she''s sure than the dog is no longer in heat.
