What the frelling hell are you and those kittens doing all the way on the other side of the damn continent? Can you FedEx me a couple of them? I'd take the tortie and the ginger tabby in a heartbeat.
Oh, they are adorable! I wish I could take one or two, but we're already pretty swamped with the cats we've been rescuing. And since there's someone around here with a female they refuse to get spayed, and every time she gets pregnant, they keep the kittens long enough that they're somewhat socialized, and then tossed out the door to fend for themselves, we seem to increase the number of cats a couple times a year. They've all got the same facial features, the same long legs with tiny, delicate feet, the same very long, expressive, elegant tails. I want to find the people who're doing this and kick their teeth in some days.
We always plan on taking them in, nursing them back to health (they're always starving, and often have various respiratory, eye, or other infections) and getting them altered, and then finding them a good home. And we always get attatched and wind up keeping them.
I'll gladly chip in to help defray expenses, but really, I don't want those babies shipped from NoCal to No.Carolina. There are plenty of homeless orphans locally, that I'm already helping to support and feed. Bottom line: my scaredy feral won't tolerate another cat in our limited living space. And he has first claim, both on the space and on our hearts right now. But if $$ will help someone in your vicinity foster or adopt these adorable kittens, let me know where to send a check. It won't be much, but it may help. I'm sorry I can't do more.
All my cats and dogs throughout my life have had baby cats and dogs foisted on them. They've survived, forgiven me, and even wound up entirely too happy with their 'kids' or 'baby siblings'.

Well.. happy of course is subjective and relies on the time of day/night and who managed to get to the food bowl first, how full the moon is, etc... because they're cats.
I swear, it looks like you got them out of those wee vending-machine capsules in the corner of the pic. Kitten Vending Machines! oh, god, no, we don't want that, there's too many homeless already, but ooooh! so wee and cute!
...but no, there's not enough room for even a wee one in this place with Mr Allergic, sadly.
