How do you find homes for kittens? So, somehow your cat got out, you had been procrastinating about getting her spayed, and a few months down the road you realize that her belly is growing bigger. Before you know it, you are the proud parent of 7 adorable kittens they’re so cute and fuzzy, but you know there is no way you can keep them all without your house turning in to a zoo and your landlord flipping a lid.
What now?
We always hear horrific stories about heartless pet owners abandoning kittens on the side of the road or dumping them at the pound in a box without so much as an explanation. You want your kittens to go to a good home, but you have no idea where to start. Well, lucky for you we put together a list of ways to help you find homes for your kittens!
Friends & Family
Have a little get-together at your house, “just because.” Don’t tell them its really a “Find Your Kittens A Home Party.” But, people are more likely to adopt one of your kittens if they see them in person. After snuggling and playing with them, the odds of them taking them home are much more likely. Even if no one at your little kitty soire takes one home, chances are at least one person there will know someone who is looking for a kitten and play middle man.

Facebook & Other Social Media Sites
There are dozens of Facebook groups in your local area dedicated to pets and items for sale. First and foremost, don’t be greedy, there is no reason to ask for a price for your kittens – it is much easier to find them homes if they are free. But, you will be amazed by the amount of responses you will get by posting in a few local Facebook groups that you have some kittens in need of a good home. Of course, you will want to include an irresistibly cute photo in the ad.
Craigslist
Craigslist is another great outlet courtesy of the internet to help you find homes for pets. You will obviously want to chat with the people a bit that respond and feel them out before you hand over one of your beloved kittens – but you will most likely find at least two serious people in search of a pet.
Newspapers
Believe it or not, there are still newspapers being circulated and people do still read them. Especially older folks, who have soft spots for fuzzy little kittens. Check with your local papers and see what the prices are for the classifieds. Some papers even let you post free ads if they are under a certain word limit.

Signs
Ahh, the good old-fashioned signs. Print up some flyers with your contact information and a photo of the kittens on them, and post them on local bulletin boards like in your libraries and banks, and any other popular buildings in your area. If you live in a rural area, you can even make a large wooden sign and post it in your front yard.

Yes, first and foremost get them spayed. Also, if anyone does adopt from your suggestions have them sign a contract on care to include spay/neuter. May not be enforceable, but it at least makes them consider it. Shelters may be harsh, but actually, because youngsters that aren’t spayed/neutered are usually only fostered until they are, it makes the odds of them procreating less. Sometimes best option.

These are great sources if you can not keep them yourself. That is my problem though I wind up taking them in 🙂
Spaying your cats and dogs is definitely a priority. There are places that will do it for nothing or at lest a minimal cost if you look around. Personally I would never use Craigslist or Facebook. Another place you can post signs are your local vet and even your local shelter might let you put one up.
Im allergic to cats but they sure are cute! I feel so sad for any animal that doesnt have a good home.

Loved the “Find Your Kittens A Home Party”! Made me laugh. We don’t have any animals but my in-laws live on a farm and are constantly taking in animals. I don’t think it would be hard to get rid of anything if we needed to. ha

I have noticed a lot of people turn to social media when it comes to looking for new furry family members and offering them to good families. It really has matched up a lot of cats and dogs and families!

When husband took in a homeless cat and wanted to have her spayed, we were told that we will have some kittens soon. That was a surprise! We gave most of the kittens to our friends and also added some announcements to social media.
