I heard one crying. They were all spread out near the storm drainage behind my house. The neighbor boy climed the fence and got them.Even had to dig to get to one. I don't know how it got there. I'm guessing the reason they were all spread out, was because they were looking for momma which had been picked up the day before. They were all hungry and a lil dehydrated. They were so little. So cute. I wish I could have kept one.

What did you do with them??? I would have kept them at least until they were 6 to 8 weeks old... How old were they?

They had teeth, they must have been atleast 4 weeks I guess. Unfortunately I think they were taken to a shelter. But the lady that called them said the place is a good place.

I already have a cat, dog and a toddler. I don't know how long they would last here.

Ashley,

I wouldn't worry too much. Kittens get placed VERY quickly. You did a good thing honey. Be proud!

They were sooo cute. I'm sure they will get adopted. They still had blue eyes.. One, his back was all black, and his tummy had stripes.

oh I forgot to add..

The kittens mom was a stray. The lady down the street from me feeds the strays, as I did sometimes too. She caught as many as she could and spayed or neutered them then released them. Some of them will let you pet them.
