    OMG, how cute are those little fluff balls? So, it looks like there were only 3. Do you have any leads on good homes for them?

    That is them so far.
    Almost 4 weeks old now.

    The only thing I'm concerned about is finding them GOOD homes now,
    With people who will be responsible and spay and neuter them...

    As far as Sparkle goes... well, we fell in love with her,
    We'll have her spayed (which we were going to do anyway),
    But now we're going to keep her.
    She's a real sweetheart and she picked us... so she's a keeper...

    Well, you are a true sweetheart.

    Start putting up flyers in all the vet's offices in your area saying they are ready to go in a month. Usually people who go into the vets office are people who take responsibility for their animals.

    Chat with the people who work in the vets offices and get friendly when you post those flyers. They will be very willing to help you out when they hear your story about the cat. Let them know you want to find people who will spay/neuter. Get the names of the people you speak with in the office. When people call you, ask which vet they use. The ones you have good feelings about, call that vets office and speak to the receptionist that you created a relationship with. Ask about the person.

    You may also want to tell the callers that you would like to do a home check. People who are responsible and really want a kitten will be very open to it.

    Ruby, thank you!
    That's what I'm going to do.

    Update:D

    All three kittens found wonderful homes because of the flyers I gave to the vet offices.
    All the homes actually came from the vet I use.

    One lady contacted me because her cat had to be put down due to old age a month ago and her daughter was devastated.
    She remembered seeing the flyer and called the vet to get my information.
    Her daughter is just thrilled to have another kitty and the vet said they were excellent people and pet owner.

    Another family actually contacted the vet to see if they had any cats for adoption, they didn't so they also passed on my information.
    They took the remaining 2 kittens so that they could stay together and have each other for company.

    I couldn't be more pleased with the wonderful families these kittens have now thanks to the flyers and Ruby for making the suggestion:D

    Sparkle is getting spayed and has become apart of our family - we just adore her...

    Happy ending for everyone!

    Thanks again Ruby!!
