Never, ever offer them as "free to good home". You will attract the wrong kind of people. Lots of nasty things happen to free kittens. They are often snatched up by people with large snakes who think it's fun to feed kittens to them, or people who want 'bait' to train their fighting dogs. And also people called "bunchers" who take those free kittens, and turn around and sell them to research labs. You also get impulse adopters who adore the kitten until it grows up into a cat, then toss it outside to get pregnant or become road kill. You are really better off finding a rescue or shelter to take them, as they will at least spay/neuter them and screen their prospective homes. At the very least, get them spayed/neutered yourself, and then charge a nominal fee for them (at least $25 as 'bunchers' generally get $20 a piece for them).

If you are in the US or Canada, use Petfinder to contact an animal welfare group, at least to get your female cat spayed. Then, discuss them finding homes for the kittens. The sooner, the better. Offering some financial assistance on the kittens will make things smoother.
At minimum, take the kittens to your local shelter, as the younger the kittens are (since they are at least 8 weeks) old, the easier to find new home. People want young kittens, but they are less interested in 6 month old kittens.
If you are going to advertise, at least ask for vet references.

submit some provides around. you may without postpone make those in paint or something. you opt to, whether, verify that the cats are wholesome and you're actually not basically dumping a concern on somebody else. this could motivate cat fanatics or puppy-seekers to prefer to take the cat understanding this is no longer being given away via fact it is going to die or is undesirable or violent or something. so it is recommended to get them checked over via a vet first. leave your touch documents and you need to get a decision returned. you may leave the flyers on mailboxes and highway poles. additionally, ask human beings around you which you already know who perhaps could like a cat. If those do no longer artwork, regrettably you will the two ought to keep them or provide them as much as an animal shelter or pound. in case you carry them to an animal scientific institution, they would be extra probable to look after them i think of and confirm they're in solid well being for the shelter.

People who do this are such idiots.
Take the kittens to a local NO KILL animal shelter. Go to your pet store and give them a flyer GOOD HOME!' with a picture of the kittens, your adress, and your phone number. Post the same flyers around town, where you can. Ask around work, your friends, and maybe at you/your children's school.
Basically any of those, be creative. Just don't dump them or the road or anywhere else, people who do that are even more idiotic.
Just don't sell them for free, and make sure the owners get them spayed/neutered, don't declaw them, have enough money to take care of them, and treat them kindly.
I really hate how you said 'What's a Good Way to GET RID of Kittens?' It makes you sound like they're just junk that you don't want, not living, breathing creatures with emotions.
And last of all, GET YOUR CAT SPAYED! Jeez! It's not that hard, just go the vet's and 150 dollars later, no kittens! If you can't afford to get her spayed or just don't want to, you really should NOT have a cat.
Oh, and make sure the kittens are old enough to live without their mom's milk before you give them away.

Dont let them leave the mother till they are at least 8 weeks old!!! And also when I wanted a cat I put my number on craigslist and asked them to call me if they had kittens. So you can look on craigslist and see if someone wants a kitten, also you can post that you have kittens to give away for free. If that doesnt work try to find a no kill shelter. But please dont let them leave the mom till 8 weeks old, when i put my name of craigslist i ended up with a 5 week old kitten that was much too young to leave mom and she was a lot of work so please try to keep them till 8 weeks! Good luck!!!

Make flyers and put them up at shelters, pet shops, and vets offices. If you want to make some money from them, then go ahead and name a price. You are most likely to get rid of them faster by giving them away free.

Classifieds, place a printout with pics in public places. I wouldn't use the animal shelter, they're over run with kittens and most likely will kill or euthanize yours. Get your cat spayed please.

Go drop them off at a walmart parking lot, someone will pick them up or they will adjust to the outdoors, no harm no foul.
Source(s): I trapped all the cats that were coming into my yard with cans of tuna and a live trap and relocated them to walmart no where near my house.
