THis story started when grocery downstairs threw out a cat that was living there. She would always be there alone, at night... my roommate and I fed her for several months, and when it started getting colder, and hurricane Sandy was approaching, we finally took her in. She turned out to be the smartest and nicest cat I have ever met, and.. pregnant! She gave birth to 4 beautiful kitties. They are now 6 weeks old. And though they are so cute and smart, we can not keep them in our small apartment. We are keeping mom cat of course. One kitten has already been adopted by my friend. And 3 girls left. They are looking for a good loving home, they will bring you a lot of joy!

KItten # 1

This one is a sweetheart. She likes to play, but she is gentle and calm

Kitten # 2

This little crazy ball of fur has a LOT of energy. She likes to play most of all. She is very fun!

Kitten # 3

This kitty is also playful, plus she is very very smart. She was the first to learn how to go to a litter box. And then showed her sisters how to. I bet you can teach her some tricks.
See pictures below.
PM me for details.

Have they or the mother been vetted? Female kittens can be fixed as young as 8wks or 2lbs in weight. Once the mother is through nursing she should also be fixed. The kittens can get their first FVRCP jabs at 8wks of age but they may want to wait to give them their rabies jabs, depends on the vet.

Please do not adopt them out without charging at least a nominal fee as this will attract bunchers, dealers, collectors and gift givers who think a kitten is a fun present but do not understand the lifelong commitment required. $25 minimum but if they have seen a vet, who will usually charge a discount for a group of kittens, $50 is acceptable.

If you would like information on low cost vets in your area let me know.

Generally it is better to adopt kittens this young in pairs or to another home with a young, playful, friendly animal (cat or dog). Introducing a kitten into a home with an older animal can cause quite a bit of stress to that senior animal as the kitten will want to play constantly and that stress can lead to illness down the road (been there done that).

As they are so young they will still need socialization to learn not to do some of the strange behaviors people complain about with single cats who are not raised with other cats. Such as climbing up their legs, pouncing on their heads, biting, suckling, etc. They learn not to do these things from other cats; for as much as one might love them we are not cats and cannot teach appropriate behavior the way another cat can. This is why adopting in pairs or with another young animal is preferential to the long term well being of the kitten and the success of the future adoption.

Lastly should an adoption not work out be prepared to take the kitten back, even up to a year later as some people love them when they are little but once they are older suddenly they are too much work or life circumstances change and they cannot keep them as they did not think long term when adopting. Make sure anyone you adopt to understand this or these kittens may wind up in the city shelter where they have little to no chance of adoption.

Hi,

Are these kittens still looking for a home? If so, I'd be very interested in adopting the top one. Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
Brittany
