I doubt that those parents will think of boarding or someone to take care of these kitties while they are away as they are not the one 'taken the oath / pledge' to take care of the kitties.
Moreover,money matters.. Students will be 100% depending on their parents. It is them who say yes or no as they are of the decision-maker and the earner.
If there's 100% parents support, them everything up there won't be valid. But it is hard to find parents that is 100% supportive unless they are the one adopting for their children.
and SPCA.. is not a second-best option anyway. it's more to me like first or second worst decision one could do.
It's up to you to think of the best option as you are the only one who is well-aware of your situation. THanks

No thank YOU :) For replying to my posts and giving valuable advice.
That's what I thought about the student too. So I guess I'll have to gently say no to her him/her. I'm not risking the kittens being dumped again.
Talking about dumping kittens, someone did just that at my building (again!!!!)
yesterday. Four poor sickly kittens. I can't take them in as the housemates are uncomfortable of the cat & cat food smell. They don't have to say it for me to know it. I have them to consider.
Back to the post, why is SPCA such a bad choice? The vice president was so nice to call me and offered to come and get the kittens herself as I don't have my own transportation. She said they are overwhelmed but willing to take the 3 in. I figured it would be the best if I can't find any owners for them by next week. They don't put down unwanted animals, do they? Like what I've heard. That can't be true
I just thought it would mean food & shelter for the kittens. I'm going back home for Raya by MAS early September and taking the kittens with me would mean complicated documentations and whatnots.
So why is SPCA a bad choice?
