I found 3 small kittens last night and I have a cage for them but I do not want to keep them, what do I do?

you can:
1) put up posters advertising that you are giving them away (describe them in an attractive way)
2) take them to an animal shelter
3) offer them to relatives, neighbors and freinds

I'm sorry, but for god's sake DON'T take them to a pet store as someone else advised! Shelters (whether kill or no kill) at least for the most part genuinely care for animals. Pet stores are our for the $$$'s and more often than not support puppy mills and unsavory cat/dog breeders. Supporting them in any way (like giving them free kittens so they can turn a profit by selling them without getting them adequate vet care) is irresponsible I challenge anyone to argue with me about this!!
Kittens almost always find a home so if you can't find them one and even if you are forced to take them to the SPCA (where they do euthanize animals if they have to) they will still probably find homes that are at least somewhat screened.

I had 3 kittens come on my patio a few years ago so I started
feeding them. Naturally they met me every morning when I came
in from work. One disappeared and the other 2 eventually found another home (I hope) because my place won't allow pets so I could not keep them inside even though the weather got cold.
To answer your q, I would keep them but if you can't afford them or can't have them at your place try to find someone who will take
them or take them to the Humane Society.

Post flyers up for free kittens, and put their pictures next to it, people LOVE free, cute kittens, just wait a while though because you might have to care for them yourself for a little bit, it just breaks my heart when people give them to shelters because if they're not adopted within like a few weeks or something then they are put to sleep, and that's sad.

Depending on how old they are, and also where you are, I spose. Try taking them to a vet if you think they are too young and still need mothering. If they still need mother's milk and can't eat food then you need to get Divetalact or something like it and dropper feed them, unless they can lap.

Try a pet shop to see if they want the kittens.

Call your local Humane/pet adoption society. If you can't find one, call a local vet and ask him what to do. If all else fails, run an ad in the newspaper.

you might want to check with your local animal shelter. there are no kill shelters which you can look up on the web.
your city or area you live in should have those nearby. however, most will tell you that they are full and cannot take them.

Take them to a good animal shelter where they will be safe. Someone will probably want to adopt them soon.
