We can't look after them all, along with the Cat (Lilly) that gave birth to the kittens, there are 2 other, older kittens that we have. What should we do with the four younger ones? Should we give them away in pairs, all together, individually or does it not matter? -Aidan.

Please spay the mother cat so that this doesn't happen again. As this thread is already 4 weeks old, I assume you have placed the kittens. I hope they all got good homes with people who will spay and neuter them. Kittens generally are ready to leave their mother at 8-12 weeks. Persians and a few other breeds need a bit longer than others.

Yeah we have her booked in at the vet. They all went to good homes (homes of cat lovers, friends etc.) so we can be sure they'll be treated right. Thank you for your response =]. -Aidan.

Be sure to check up that all the homes spay and neuter the cats so that they don't breed and add to the population.

Check up on them? You can't do that? Once a pet is adopted, it is up to the new owner to make the decisions about the cat. If you give up ownership, you have nothing to say about any issues that come up.

please don't give them away as yet becasue they have to nurse they are just like humans let them bound with there mother first and then give them to the pet store so they could find a home for them or you yourselves could find homes for them and you could bound with them a bit by the time i have and had a lot so these are the things you have to do in order for them to get known to people in order to give them away.

but you could also give them away in pairs so they could accompany each other and have each other as company to each other when they at someone else's home when giving them away

Awwwww! I love kittens! Well, giving them away all toghether might be the best idea! You could go to the pet store and donate thoses kittens to someone who's willing to take good care of them or you could also give them to some relative of yours as a present for something... It's just an idea! Anyways, Welcome to Mylot and I hope you find yourself here. :)
