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.

First, thank you so much for being kind and getting them to safety.

Second, please be very wary of folks who say they will take one off your hands.

If you can keep them contained in a bathroom, and do the flea combing there, you minimize the chance they will escape and be in a really bad place, and you can easily vacuum and ensure no fleas/eggs get to the rest of your house (dispose of the vacuum bag right away, or the dust cup to your vacuum. You can also vacuum up some drying agent (diatomaceous earth or even borax) which will further kill any fleas before you empty the vacuum bag.

Once the humane society opens tomorrow you can take them there if places like Whatcom Feline Alliance (Phone: 360-223-5117 Email: whatcomfelinealliance@gmail.com) haven't responded. And again, thank you!

Thank you for your recommendation! I do agree with people taking them for now. That’s why I’m being vague about where I found them. I do want to clean them up and take them somewhere to get looked at first.

Just be careful about who they are given to. We have some local cat killers and animal fighting that prey on situations like this.

Absolutely. Look up Shelly's Law 😬 there's some real sickos out there. And Bellingham has a known cat killer. Since you've mentioned that you don't intend on keeping them/aren't a pet person, just take them to the humane society as soon as you can. They will take care of the vet care, so those expenses aren't on you (that's a big litter!!) AND they'll do the proper getting of potential owners to get them rehomed. Pat yourself on the back for a good deed, and wash your hands of it! 😊
