How/where do I safely rehome kittens?

There have always been two stray but very friendly cats local to me. Definitely stray.

I have fed them, and they sometimes come inside where they can get warm and have something to eat.
They seem to like living outside, and are always together, only sometimes coming into here or a neighbour when it's very cold. They were extremely nervy cats before but they're more comfortable around us now.

Anyway, we noticed one was pregnant so we kept them in with us. She gave birth in October. She has now gone again, and I haven't seen either of the strays. The kittens are still here.

I have been offering them to people I know personally who I know will look after them. There is one left that I cannot find an owner for. I definitely can't keep it.

I am of course reluctant to try selling sites like gumtree. I am worried if I send it to rspca they might put it down if it can't be rehomed.
Is there anywhere else it can go where they won't put it down? Are there any sites I can safely rehome on? The kitten is used to humans and isn't as scared as the mother cat, although can hiss or growl if she feels threatened by another cat, but does calm down eventually, so I know that will be an issue with rehoming too.
I just don't know what to do. Help!

Hi OP. I'm from Celia Hammonds. I can arrange to come and pick up (I'm an expert with semi ferals!) both cats for neutering and we should also be able to take in the kitten. We only home kittens in pairs and at the moment we have a 'spare' kitten around that age so we could pair them.

Please pm me.

Thanks to everybody who answered. I will not see the cats today I won't be around in the evening but will tell neighbour to keep them inside for me to collect in the morning and keep them here again until everything is sorted out.

I'm going to pm thecatneuterer now. Thank you all so much for help and suggestions.

Oh sorry - fast moving thread or slow moving me. It was to PinkSparkly.

Last I heard about George he was fine, living it up in his new pad!

YetAnotherSpartacus · 01/02/2018 11:15

That's great. I am so glad that that story had a happy ending for George.

It was such a relief. I'm hoping to get to see him in the next few weeks so I'll report back!
