not so sweet kittens need homes!!! Ok, they are sweet.

[appendixqh]

Have barn kitties that probably want to find new homes. Several of them were found under a neighbors house, skin and bones, my cats took them in. Now they need to find new homes before they start wandering about...once they leave the barn they tend to become food for the local foxes, or they get hit by cars. In 6 years only 4 kittens of mine made it to adult hood, and one from this bunch already lost part of its tail. So you will have your choice of cute, not so cute, orange, grey, several beautiful siamese type, black, tabby and black and white. Just keep in mind, these are barn kittens so they aren't bathed or have any shots (I don't expect them to survive, and won't bother naming them unless they reach a year old) but they are pretty friendly and great little mousers.

I would love to have a couple of kitties but we live too close to a road. The three we took in a couple years back, the sweetest kittens, only one has survived and we were so upset. Knock on wood, my older two cats seem to know to stay away from the road.

Foxes need nourishment, too.

I know, it stinks, we put of spaying the cats because they just die so quickly. Oh well! I don't mind feeding the foxes, but I do feel bad because the siamese ones are really cute!

My foster kittens are cute, love to be cuddled and are healthy.

I think there is 1 long haired black and white one, and maybe an orange one.

Is it just me or OMG what is wrong with you. Barn cats are no different than any other cats, have them spayed and neutered and provide a safe haven for them to go to if you, in fact, have predators. We spay and neuter EVERY cat that happens to wander onto our farm. In fact, I'm sure some neighbors still wonder why their cats don't have kittens. Seriously, spayed and neutered cats do live longer (the youngest barn cat we have is 6 years old and we buried one last year at 20) because they don't roam. Don't continue to be part of the problem, capture them in a Hav-a-Hart and get them to the vet.
