Just to add, these kittens have been with me since the beginning of August. We were just meant to be doing some transportation of the cats that were taken from the house, but due to every local shelter bursting at the seams with cats and kittens, we said we'd bring them home for one night while a placement was found for them - it's never happened! So 3 months on and these poor babies are still in my bathroom (I have 3 cats of my own - 2 of which don't take to new cats at all). They get out for a few hours to play every day so I still think they're better off than being in a pen in a shelter but unfortunately the whole of their kittenhood is passing them by while they could be in a loving home - it's such a shame!
People always want tabby kittens or tortie kittens - I could have rehomed their 'brother' Timmy 10 times over because he was a cute tabby.
Black and white and all black cats and kittens get overlooked all the time because in most people's eyes, they're just not as pretty...
