Awwwwwww I want to adopt the peach and white one! Also siamese or siamese mix cats tend to be hyper. So when you look for a home for a kitten, if seems to be a hyper one epically compared to it’s siblings .... search for an adopter who has owned hyper kitties before.
:goodluck:

Thanks! I'm still trying. So far no luck.:sigh: The peach and white one is a male. He is shy and thoughtful compared to his siblings. He is so sweet!

I happen to enjoy Siamese types. They are very playful. Hilarious! I’m not surprised the Ginger and white is a sweetie. They are all precious babies.
Do you have any kind of paper there that offers free ads? We have a small paper here and for pets they offer free ads. I keep one running all the time. I no longer have kittens for adoption, just cats but I refer other calls to local shelters and rescues. You will have to take care I’m who you allow to adopt but it has been helpful here. Every avenue is a possible route.

Update!!!!
I found a home for two of the kittens! The female Siamese, named Spring (female) and the white and peach male named (Patty)! The people adopting them are a mom and grown daughter. I asked all the questions on the article that abyeb posted"kittens To Good Homes" - How To Find A Good Forever Home For Your Kittens. They said thier cat was almost 17 and passed away a few months ago. It turns out it's a coworker that works in my same company! Someone even told me that she would be a great home for them! They said they had had cats thier whole lives and knew lots of cat facts which made me feel pretty confident that they were cat people.
Two small issues though:
First, was so excited that I forgot to ask for an adoption fee. Should I ask for one now?
Second, because this is a male and female, should I get them fixed before she takes them? She said she would take care of it but should I risk it?
I very happy, but I truly worry about every little thing!

I would be sure to get them fixed, vaccinated, and dewormed before they are adopted. It's the best thing you can do to make sure they are set up for healthy and happy lives.

I don't think you need to ask for an adoption fee, but I would ask to speak to the vet of their late cat. That might be the best way to check on their standard of care.

Ok I will ask thier vet. I have always had my cats fixed at 6 months exactly. These are only 12 weeks. Isn't it bad for them to be spayed so early? I worked for a vet once and she hated it when cats were fixed too early and said this caused many problems. I remember she said the males didn't get to fully develop and it caused issues for them.

The standard these days is to fix at two pounds or two months old. They are the perfect age now! If you wait until the kittens are 6-months-old, they could already be mating.

You could accompany them , with the new owner to their vet and see that they are fixed. You could do the adoption there. Tell them no fee but you want to be able to see that all appointments are carried through and that way you can sign them over at the new vet’s office at the time they are fixed. Assuming their vet will do it now. Otherwise require paperwork for , “ your files” or get it done yourself. At least get the shots done. Did you ask any of the things that I listed, like updates or a visit? Proof of vet visit? That would have you covered. Getting them to sign the information I provided would give you peace of mind.
Bravo on finding homes for those two! I love them all but those two got my attention. Yay!!!! Have wonderful lives little ones! :heartshape::clap2::bunnydance::banana1::woo:
Remember to take pictures!

Hi Jcatbird! Yes! I interviewed them for an hour. I picked up my kitten and these two. I have them now and they came to meet them. They agreed to updates and pictures. They said they would never declaw and they would be indoor kitties only. I didn't do the home visit part though, but I asked them where they lived and asked about thier house. I plan on delivering the kittens and I can check thier house then. I can back out then if it's not good. I made clear how I was trying to find a good forever home and that I was committed to this. They are going out of town at the end of the month and asked that I keep them until they return. They didn't want to leave them alone so soon after adopting them, which seemed like a good sign, that they cared enough to think of this. So I will foster them for 3 more weeks. I can only hope that I screened them enough, because I have become very attached to them.

Awww. I know your heart will break. Mine always dies too. Just remember that I’m a good home, the joy and love the kittens bring can be shared and change lives for the better. The kittens will be spoiled and cherished. You are giving the best thing you could ever give to them and their new family. The updates will really help. The ones I have gotten made me very happy that I had shared the love. Some updates are so wet that they will touch your heart. :redheartpump:

Hannah (the kitten lady) says it best when she explains that every time she adopts a kitten out it opens up a place for her to help a kitten in need. (Being a foster fail I’m not sure I’m a success story ;))

I like the idea of handing them over the day they get fixed. She gets to know you are not ripping her off (& there are many low cost spay/neuter clinics available to.) You get to know for sure that the babies are fixed. That said I prefer to fix them around 4-6 months. Not because it is medically sound, just because they are bigger. There is something traumatizing about the thought of your little itty bitty baby going under the knife! I swear I get a gray hair every time my baby is operated on .... and 10 gray hairs if my baby is a kitten!

Would proof of their spay/neuter and vaccinations by the time they hit 5 months for the girl, 6 months for the boy .... sent to you by the vet or she will be liable for a larger fee suffice? (Girl cat’s can go into heat sometimes as young as 4 months. So before she is 5 months old will prevent kittens.) *I provided proof to my new apartment and he was neutered but it had to wait an extra month to finish his vaccines because my vet did not want to vaccinate him and neuter him on the same day. Luckily my apartment manger was accommodating and my little boy was vaccinated/licensed/neutered/chipped by the time he 6 months old.

:goodluck:

The above by kitten lady is very true. I had kitties waiting to come to a safe place and keeping that in mind did help me to let go of my babies. So many shelters had told me, we have no openings, it made me understand that every opening provided by an adoption made room for the next one that would, inevitably, show up. We all want to keep them all but that isn’t always the best thing for the kittens. The more individual attention they can get, the better. Finding a qualified home is something to be very grateful for. These people sound good and the next stages of the adoption may reassure you further so you feel even better about it. After all, you can always ask if you can visit them. A true cat lover won’t mind. They’ll understand that you have a bond and just want to see them again. Most of my adopting humans actually like to show off how well their babies are doing and how beautiful they are. I have one who got her own puppy for Christmas and she holds the leash when Mom walks them in the park! :lol: I have to wonder how people in the park react to that! Look towards the good things that will come.
