What's it take to get rid of some kittens? Our friend Kirsten's been trying for a couple weeks to give some away for free, but no luck.
It reminds us of that old Archy and Mehitabel verse "Mehitabel and Her Kittens."
well boss
mehitabel the cat
has reappeared in her old
haunts with a
flock of kittens
three of them this time
archy she says to me
yesterday
the life of a female
artist is continually
hampered what in hell
have i done to deserve
all these kittens
i look back on my life
and it seems to me to be
just one damned kitten
after another
i am a dancer archy
and my only prayer
is to be allowed
to give my best to my art
but just as i feel
that i am succeeding
in my life work
along comes another batch
of these damned kittens
Well, you have to read the rest of the poem to find out what happen to those kittens, but these ones are still up for grabs. Write Kirsten.

Advertising kittens "free" to a good home is not a good idea. Unfortunately there are too many weirdos out there more than happy to pick up a free critter do with as they please. Kirsten, PLEASE! Screen your prospective adopters and follow up on the adoptions. Home visits are a good thing and insisting on the kittens being spayed/neutered with proof of the procedure is also something you should insist upon. Just offering kittens for adoption is not the answer. It's more complicated than that and you have more responsibility toward those kittens than you think.
