My dog was out running around our back yard this morning and uncovered an old pile of wood up against our fence and underneath the wood was a litter of kittens probably 4 or 5 kittens and one adult cat. We already have one inside kitty and dog and don't want to add 5 more. What can we do? I refuse to take them to animal control cause the one in my area has a VERY high kill rate. Does any one know a No kill rescue in the Metro Atlanta area that takes in stay cats from residental homes?
Answers:
CAT-SNIP in Atlanta (they are No-Kill) also rescues kitties.

They are associated with the Atlanta Animal Alliance

Please get in touch with them.
Can you pick up the mama cat or does she run from you??Your Mama may be feral and might need to be Humanely trapped by someone who is associated with this rescue group in your area.
Thank you for caring for these kitties!!
Maybe if you have some time, you culd help out these organizations in your area who do SO MUCH to help these cats and many more like them (almost all of them NOT spayed or nuetered...!) who have been abandoned and left to fend for themselves and reproduce.
call the a.p.l wear you live or keep them do you have friends give some to them.
Found this on the internet:
FurKids No Kill Cat Rescue -- it's in Atlanta. Phone Number: 770.613.0009
Thanks for caring for this mother and her babies!
Maybe you can give the kittens to one of your neighbours.
Let the kittens be adopted.
call your vet up and ask them if the know or will take them.some vets have pets to adopt out in there office but the best thing to do is take them in they got to stay with there mom for 8 weeks to Finnish feeding make them a little home and cover it so rain doesn't get them wet and sick but you can't separate them yet.Maybe you have a pet smart in your town.ask your vet what you can do and you don't want to call any place that will kill them.Oh and while your out there give mom some food she will need it to make milk don't give any cats milk
Aww. How sweet! If I were you, I would allow the cat to rear her kittens in your garden. I am sure that after a few days, she will move them of her own accord anyway, as most cats would not find an area that houses a dog a great place to bring up her kittens.
I can bet that in a couple of days you will find that she has moved them to a safer area, especially now that she knows her hiding place has been uncovered.
If that's not the case, or you want rid of them NOW, then the best thing to do would be to call all the local cat sanctuaries and ask them if they would take the kittens. However, I don't think this is a particularly nice thing to do. After all, the cat probably belongs to a neighbour of yours, who has been looking forward to her cat having the kittens, and is now very worried about where her heavily pregnant cat has disappeared to.
It may be an idea to print out some leaftets detailing what has happened and a description of the cat, and then post them around your neighbourhood with your number. I can bet you would make someone extremely relieved and happy. It should be their decision to either keep the kittens, sell them, or give them to a shelter.
If there is no contact after a few days, and the cats are still there, THEN you should give them to a home.
Do you not have the RSPCA in America? If you do, then they are the best people to call and ask for advice, and most definitely wouldn't kill the kittens.
Good luck!
good luck
I've heard from my local shelter in Covington that Petsmart adopts many animals from shelters for adoption. I'm sure that Petco will too. I'd try to see if there are some smaller Pet stores (I call them mom %26 pop stores) to see if they can take the kittens. I'd check with neighbors first to see if the cats have a home. The woodpile was probably the safest outside place she could find to have her babies. FurKids is in Atlanta too. Their # is 770-613-0009. Good luck!
