Okay, so we don't encourage encouraging the strays, but these homeless pets were just too furry to ignore. If you're interested in adopting a kitty or three, checkout the info below.

I recently came across a litter of 3 kittens and took them in. The problem is no, no kill shelters are accepting and I already have 3 cats of my own.
They're about one month old. They haven't been checked out but we're willing to get that done if anyone is interested. The one in the first picture (view here) is a little stand-offish (he was on the street about a week or 2 longer than the other two kittens) He just needs some love forced on him to get him used to human contact, I don't believe he's beyond saving, there is hope with him. He's gotten better since we found him but he's not quite there yet.
The other 2 seen together in the pictures are male (the dark grey) and female (the light grey). They are inseparable and sleep on each other. They are very sweet and if anyone is interested in one of the greys they must take both.. The light grey female is definitely the sweetest one of the bunch and will make a great pet.

I encourage people to take care and spay and neuter the strays at safe, reputable vets. Never let your pets outside without a collar on, and do not turn them out onto the street. I have gotten 9 kittens adopted out of our backyard in Kensington, and had 3 adult cats fixed. I feed the strays and hope to minimize the population over time. If everyone in Kensington fixed one cat and released them there wouldn't be a stray problem.
I have adopted quite a few cats from the street. One of my cats I found on Cortelyou road outside my dr's office. She is now six years old and healthy and happy.
If you pick up a stray and have them fixed it at all possible of course try to find a good home for them. Cats are absoloutely wonderful pets.
My goodness...if I could, I would adopt all the strays. My current cat is a stray I rescued as a kitten five years ago. (My little Patches is not fond of other cats in her house.)
I believe the ASPCA has a neuter and release program especially if you have a den of cats living in your backyard. They'll provide the cages (for a fee) and neuter them.

Did you try Sean Casey Animal Rescue on E 3rd and Ft Hamilton?

Just wanted to say thanks to the keeper of the cats. I live with an allergic so I can't take any in, but watching the cuties live on the streets (there's quite a growing family around east 7th and 8th) as winter approaches always tugs on my heart strings.
