- I found kittens, what do I do? If the kittens look younger than 8 weeks and aren't in a location where they're in danger, leave them be. Do not move kittens unless absolutely necessary. Check to see if the mother is near by. A mother cat will not abandon her kittens, if she is not in sight she will return at night. We can potentially accept kittens. Always call us first. And there is a $25 surrender fee PER kitten. If we don't have the space we can see if we have a foster that can take them in. We will ask you if you can foster them and we can help you to. If we don't have the space or a foster available we will direct you to C Alley Cat. Their number is 570-226-6780.
