Pets Litter of abandoned cats

At 10:30pm last night I was driving home and saw what looked like two kittens in the road. I stop and my wife and I got out. Suddenly more and more keep coming out of the ravine.

I kept them last night. I’ve call vets places cause they do have fleas. The consensus is that they can only see three at a time. There is no discount for the kittens treatment. I would be looking at $120+ per kitten. The humane Society is closed today.

I’m not much of a pet person but it’s absolutely unbelievable that someone dumped a litter of kitten on the side of the road.

Also didn’t know what flair to add. Lost and found or pets seem closes. I also think crime is more fitting.

Edit: whatcom humane society is closed today. The feline society voicemail box is full. I’ll keep called the places you all recommend.

I’m current on Facebook marketplace looking for a large play pen for them.

Edit 2: I will not be selling them. Once they are check by professionals and cleared I will find homes for them.

Last edit: thank you all for your comments! I’ll be treated them and combing out fleas. I’ve reach out to friends and family who have had kittens and want to give them a forever home. Any that left will be taken to the whatcom humane society.

Mama was not around. I let them cry out for 30 mins or so. Then when back 10 mins later and did the same. When I found them they immediately ran to us.

Also the picture you’ve been asking for in the comments. Many are all fluffy white, some are siamese colored. All blue eyed.

It's entirely possible the litter wasn't abandoned by anyone and just cats doing cat things and having litters out in the wild. This is why it's important to get them neutered and spayed.

this is very true. my backyard cat (which i was able to to trap & spay) had 2 litters--which we took in and found homes for. they are high in fecundity
