My cat had kittens.How do I get people to take them?

Answer 1

take cute pictures and put them in the paper!

Answer 2

There are many ways to find GOOD homes for those poor kitties. But the best thing you can do for your cat is to get her spayed to avoid this problem. Sterilized cats live longer and healthier lives!

Do you realize that for every 1 person born, there are 7 puppies and kittens
born? At best, 1 will find a forever home.
And don't forget, that every "Free-to-good-home" litter takes homes away
from animals already at the shelter.

STOP letting your pets; or your friends, relatives or co-workers pets
contribute to the problem.
If you love animals, it is NOT ENOUGH to merely say "My pets are fixed".
Vow to educate and enable others to fix their pets too.
Spaying just 1 female dog or cat, will prevent 6 others from ending up in a
shelter the following year.
Please be part of the solution, NOT the problem!
Thank you. ^..^

Answer 3

Wait until they're 10 to 12 weeks old to try to place them in a new home. That gives them time with their mother & littermates to socialize and learn bite & claw inhibition so they won't bite & claw their new owners, and time to nurse and get the nutrients they need from their mother.

You can start advertising before that, just be sure to let people know that the kittens won't be ready to go until they're at least 10 weeks old. Advertise the kittens in your local newspaper, and put up notices at your at your local vet clinics, local pet supply stores, and grocery stores, if they will allow it (ask a manager first).

NEVER give kittens away for free! Charging a fee will help discourage people who want kittens to sell for lab research, or to use the kittens for dog bait or other cruel purposes. It also helps plant the thought that the kitten is a creature with value, rather than being disposable and OK to abandon or mistreat.

Take the kittens to the vet for a checkup & get them their first shots & deworming if needed (get your dewormer from the vet, don't buy it from the store or it may not be safe for the kittens). Charge a reasonable adoption fee to recoup part of your costs, and to make sure the kittens go to a good home - at LEAST $25, or call your local animal shelter & see what their adoption fee is and charge a similar amount.

When people ask about the kittens, ask them why they want the kitten, and ask them about previous cats they've owned, and what happened to them. Ask if they have any other pets. You'll be able to tell a lot about what kind of home they'll provide by their answers. Ask for their vet's phone number and get their permission to call their vet. Ask if they own or rent - if they rent, make sure their property allows pets. If they sneak a kitten in when it isn't allowed, it may end up at the pound later. Let them know that you'll want to visit in a month and check to see how the kitten is doing. Get them to promise that they will spay or neuter the kitten before it reaches six months of age. Offer a guarantee - if the kitten doesn't work out you will take it back and find it another home. That will help make the fee seem more reasonable, too. If you meet and check up on the people and believe they would provide a really good home, you can choose to waive the fee and tell them to use the money for cat supplies, so long as they were willing to pay it in the first place.

You can call your local animal shelter and ask them what other questions you should ask, to ensure the kittens get a good home. You may want to write them out in the form of an 'adoption application'. I know it may seem easier just to hand the kittens out & not ask questions, but it's important to make sure that these kittens get good homes, and don't end up as dog bait or abandoned in the street, or dumped at the pound to be euthanized. If people aren't willing to pay a fee, or don't want to answer questions, they probably wouldn't provide a good home for the kittens.

As SOON as the kittens are weaned, get the mother cat spayed, or she'll have another litter and you'll have to go through it all again. If cost is an issue, your local shelter may be able to help you find a local low or no-cost spay/neuter program.

Answer 4

Six years ago, I started caring for a stray kitty that wandered onto our property. She wouldn't come in the house, she was very skittish. So we let her live in our garage. Before we knew it, there were male "suiters", hanging around. She ended up having 7 litters of cats, before I was able to get her into a vet to be spayed. (When they are an outdoor cat, they are in heat alot, and pregnant alot) I had to make sure she wasn't pregnant when I took her in.

I found homes for all of her kittens. I made a really cute FREE KITTIES sign, and put it on my tree lawn. I would not let just anyone have one of her kittens. I had each prospective owner spend some time with the kitten of their choice, so that I could observe the interacting. You can separate them from their momma after 8 weeks.

Answer 5

Do not be a hurry to "get rid of them". The longer they stay with their mother, the more adjusted they will be. They will learn to clean themselves, to use the litter box properly, to socialize, etc.
Take them to your vet for a check up and first shots. These will be good selling points as the kittens will really be ready to go live in forever homes. Then get your female cat spayed at once!! Do not give the kittens away!! Sell them for the cost of the vet bills. People will take cats to do terrible things with them, but will not usually pay money to abuse them, experiment on them or use them to train fighting animals. Advertise them with their pictures in the paper.

Answer 6

It's not going to be easy. The mother cat is always protecting her kittens. Might want to wait until the kittens are 3 mounths old. To tell where the kittens are the mother is always around that area where her kittens are to protect them.

Answer 7

You could put a free kitten ad in the local paper.

Or you could do what I've heard of other people doing with little critters: Put them in a box and take them out somewhere where they will be seen, and people will fall in love with them!

Answer 8

you need to get your cat fixed in order for you not to be in this predicament in the future...

this is what we are trying to avoid...cats having an entire litter and no homes for them...you don't know if those cats are going to be permanent members of the families you are sending them to...

in general we all have to become more responsible for these animals......

Answer 9

Tack up signs in your local drugstores and supermarkets. Vets are another good place to advertize free kittens. A storm of potential kitty owners will be lining up for them.
