OK, does anyone here know anyone looking for some barn cats? Or willing to take some feral kittens?
(This will be cross posted to Pets)
I live in the mid-Atlantic region (northern Virginia) ... and last week I caught a momma cat (Lily) and her three feral kittens that she just started bringing around to the place where I fed Lily (right in front of our office door). Lily was living near our offices - a nice place, run by a landscape gardener so there were plenty of hidey-holes and wooded areas for Lily to have her kittens.
Anyway, I've been feeding Lily regularly since last fall/early winter. I wasn't able to catch her this spring before she had kittens, but I did get her and her kittens last weekend.
I'd found a woman through Alley Cat Allies to take Lily and her babies and have them spayed/neutered and vaccinated, and to evaluate the kittens for their adoptability.
Today she said she thought the kittens were too old - 4 months - to be properly socialized to be adopted by a "normal" family (people who don't really 'get' cats, aren't patient enough, etc.) She's not in the business of placing hard-to-adopt ferals, and I promised her that if the kittens were unadoptable, I'd take them back and release them at our office area. Which I will do, if that's all that can be done - at least they won't reproduce and will have had their shots.
Lily I'd always planned to release after she was spayed (and had recovered) and maybe turn her into an office cat after a while.
I'd rather not release the kittens at the complex if at all possible. I'd love to find them homes with people who are willing to gently, slowly tame/socialize them, or place them (all together, if possible) with someone who has a barn, where they'd have shelter and hopefully regular kibble.
There is one all-gray kitten, one all-black kitten, and one gray/brown tabby. They all have huge ears 
They're all together now with this woman for about a month; the next spay/neuter clinic is Sept. 17 and she's trying to work with the kittens. She also doesn't have time to devote to them exclusively, since she does place other cats.
Anyway - I have a month or so to find a solution for the kittens. If anyone has any suggestions, please let me know! 
Thanks!
