Default Re: Kittens: Hand over to SPCA or rehome them myself?

My first choice was to give the kittens into the care of SPCA seeing that the possible adopter is a secondary school student. I don't want them to end up back on the streets.

But then I start thinking about the chances of the kittens being adopted in SPCA. I was told by the v.p that currently there are 130 cats in their shelter. With that many cats would my kittens ever get adopted?
Please offer some advice :(
Okay la shima138, saya cakap apa yg orang segan/tak sampai hati utk bagi tahu secara berterus terang terhadap soalan cepumas shima138:

Kittens yg kecil/kurang sihat dan kucing dewasa kurang sihat dan juga rupa biasa (bulu tak cukup panjang) adalah first to go utk dibinasakan di atas alasan tak cukup tempat. Bila terlalu banyak serahan/buangan kucing/kittens, mereka simpan tak sampai seminggu pun. Kadang-kadang dua tiga hari dah dibunuh. Setiap bulan, beratus-ratus dibinasakan walaupun tidak sakit atau cacat.

Terdapat ramai yg cerita sambil mengalir air mata mereka menerima kata-kata bahawa mereka akan simpan seminggu dua bagi peluang adoption tetapi bila pergi balik dalam dua tiga hari sahaja, didapati kucing dah dibunuh di atas alasan tak cukup tempat tetapi mereka tidak berterus terang semasa pengambilan kucing.

Ramai yg menyesal. Sebab tu lah member kasi nasihat that SPCA should always be your last option. Tetapi utk mereka yg peka, it must NEVER be your option AT ALL. Who are we to play God?
