Nope not fostering but I have two of my own now, and they have now gone to a good home

Horza are you fostering yourself? Maybe you could take the little ones and find them a good home?

Yep I did, they went I'm told to a friend of his sons from work and it's all ok they didn't want anyone who wouldn't love them so they did care at least to check

and yes It's a very old name from my gaming days

By the way, I keep meaning to ask, are you an Iain M Banks fan?

Good work, hOrZa - and if you can get a rescue involved on the home-to-home check, that will be excellent.  Or, from a corner shop, the prospective genuine home(s) may well be local.

Also, the shopkeepers friend may be interested to learn about CP neutering vouchers?

PS Sorry to hear about your car - I hope you are OK?

Could you get him to add "Homes will be vetted" to his notice this afternoon to ward off the wrong sort?  Then work out the mechanics (could you do a homecheck if a rescue cannot?)

As they are not in imminent danger where they are, and do not need to be taken in, do you think one of your local rescues would agree to do a home-to-home check for him?

Just went and had word with the shopkeeper they are his but his hours are just going up and up and he said himself they get feed but no time for anything else and he wants them to go to  good where the can be centre of attention, there is no mother cat he took these in to help a friend out, also he's tried selling but no-one will pay for kittens but I know myself if you offer them for free god knows where they could end up :(

Someone may be able to offer refuge: meanwhile, do you get on well enough with the folks who run your corner shop to tell them that the person who placed the ad should, at the very least, charge something for the kittens?  Or do you feel up to ringing the person yourself?  You could point out the pitfalls of the free-to-a-good-home thing.  And if s/he turns out to be a reasonable, if misguided, sort you could tell him or her about CP neutering vouchers for the mother cat?
