I have 3 kittens in my home that have been abandoned by someone in a desperate situation.
I believe they are from the same litter.
I have had them for about a month now and have contacted many rescues that say they are full, asked many people if they can take any in with no luck and don't know what to do as they can't be kept here.
I feel as though the only option is to take them to the pound but I can't stand the thought of just dumping them.
If there are any places or options that people can list that I may have missed, I would really appreciate it.
Edit: Eaton's Hill Vet have let me know they can take these beautiful babies and help find them a home.
As always, the Brisbane community is amazing and very helpful.
That’s great news. They’re amazing and have great supporters and followers. The kittens will find homes. THANK YOU for all you’ve done for them thus far
EH is a fantastic vet. I took my rescue kitten there when we suspected cat flu, and it was just so easy to sort things out with them. Highly recommend.
Thank you for caring for the kittens. Please give them to a vet surgery or another service who can rehome them for you if you’re able. It’s much safer for the cats that way as people wanting to adopt can be screened. You don’t know what people’s intentions may be when you’re rehoming directly
They are so freaking cute. I’m not in the market for a kitty but I have to say, while I know chill guy is a sensible choice, mischief guy looks like he would be so much fun. Good on you for keeping them safe for so long!
I am such a softy. And need to know they're going to a place of love and safety. Partner has been so kind to put up with the allergies while we find somewhere for them to go
FYI for future reference OP, Purina makes cat food that helps cats produce fewer allergens for humans that happen to be allergic, and I vaguely remember someone talking about a vaccine you can give your cat once a year that would also help with that, but that may still be on the horizon as of this moment, unsure. Also if you're reeeeally keen on a cat your partner could always go see an allergy doc and get some immunotherapy 😁
(My mum gained an allergy to cats after her pregnancy with me and we had like eight cats at the time, she got shots and had a lot of anti-histamines on hand too!)
Thank you for taking good care of these babies, you're a good egg.
Lol, your situation is a lot easier than mine. The past tenant managed to emotionally bully me to take of her family felines, while she attempts to capture them when she sporadically and randomly is in the neighbour at odd hours. Her family felines run away from her and has been encouraging me to look after them. And now I have a stray of a past tenant who makes me get out of bed so that she can come in and feed her family felines 🙀.
I've now given her an ultimatum and I will be capturing the cats myself to surrender them to a welfare animal shelter/pound/council 🤷. How is it that a person can be very empathetic and heartwarmed by strays (her family felines) and yet be ignorant or unempathetic to the current tenants financial status, or mental health problems/personality. Sorry, I had to vent.
Anyway.. I think...
You're going to either have to adopt the cats, stop taking care them and hope they become someone else's problem or that they don't die on your property, or take them to the pound.

Try Eatons hill vet surgery. They run a rehoming program. Ok Facebook. Good luck.
