I had posted a bit ago about a stray cat in our neighborhood who’d had kittens.  
Well, we found them.  
The lady who had been feeding the mother took the kittens in her house (condo) because of the lousy (read: cold) weather.

There are 4, 3 gray tabbies, varying from lightish to dark and one longish haired black one (pretty!)

I am asking friends to try and get them homes.

So, it turns out good, so far.

I hope they find good homes. I just found a grey tabby 2 months ago, and she is the sweetest kitten. I shouldn’t say I found her, because she found us.

My wife found three abandoned kittens on a bush road two weeks ago. Two females and a male. One of the females is marmalade colour, and according to the vet, this is rare. Any comments on the alleged rarity? By the way, the Finnie household consists of seven cats, one dog, and two slightly eccentric humans. All the cats have been either abandoned, run-aways, or unwanted. Now they are loved. So is the dog!

My cat had two kittens about a week ago. They just opened their eyes.
