Small problem, outlined below. Suggestions welcome.
Teabringer found some kittens under the back deck (again). He's a soft touch, and they had the cogged eyes Odin's kittens had, and we had ointment left, so he made them see.
I think he was the first thing two of them saw. He called me while I was out, and told me they were at the back door, scratching and yowling for him. They wouldn't go back to their mother. They are horribly underweight and underdeveloped. One still needs hand fed.
I built them a temporary pen in the basement for tonight. Tim is down there with them now. Odin and Loki are happier now the kittens aren't scratching the back door, and Tim is happier not to have a house full of upset cats. However, this is not a long term solution.
This can't continue. The kittens are cute (they are, after all, kittens). One black, one black and white and one a mix of beautiful browns and oranges. If you would like an almost weened kitten, call me tonight or tomorrow morning. Otherwise they go to the humane society. Unless someone has a better plan.

Not more kittens!
The mum and probably others are out there so be braced...I'm sure the Humane Society is a good home, apparently kittens are very easy to re-home, it's old animals that are trickier. They could also offer the medical care they may need.
I would love a kitten but it couldn't go on the plane! And better half is allergic sadly.
You might try Cat Network. They put the kittens into foster care until they're adopted. This is where we got our kittens:

If they don't have a home available, I found them through this site, which works with lots of shelters (just plug in your area code for local listings):

Good luck!
