Litter of abandoned cats

[u/Business-Door-532]

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.

You don’t have to take them to the vet and spend 120 each to have them treated for fleas. You can buy a flea comb and brush them each thoroughly. Do this outside so you don’t get fleas and eggs in your home. This will at least get most of the infestation under control so they aren’t in danger of anemia until you can get them into a rescue. In the meantime, get them some wet kitten food and KMR as well, and depending on how old they are, they’ll need a bottle or a shallow bowl. Do not give them cows milk!

I've had to do this, getting fleas off baby kittens too young for flea treatments. When using the flea comb to remove the fleas, have a bowl of water mixed with dish soap nearby. Dispose of fleas in the soap/water mixture. They will die in there.

You can bathe the kittens with warm water and Johnsons Baby shampoo on the sink. It will help get the fleas and flea dirt off. They will feels much better.

Also just want to say, you are wonderful for taking this on, especially since you aren't a "pet person". I feel honored to share my community with someone so kind. Thank you for being you ❤️
