One of our feral cats has had two kittens! One solid black, the other a black tuxedo. They are only a couple of days old, their mother is a cat we call Fuzzy Bagheera, a long hair solid black cat. They have not gotten names yet, and won't for a while. More pictures will be added when they get old enough to move around and join the cats in the yard

the momma is a cat called Fuzzy Bagheera, and she is semi feral. These guys probably will be too, unless we catch them and raise them inside. problems with that include bottle feeding is a pain in the butt, she will be mad at us (and is one of the less feral of our feral colony), we have 9 cats in our house already and are out of rooms to keep cats apart in, and more that I can't think of right now. We are always trying to find homes for our cats, but we don't like to post info where strangers can get our cats, we want to make sure they go to good homes.
You could try a no kill animal rescue group, Iv worked with a few in the past, and they are a good way to get cats to a nice home with out going to a shelter or having to deal with less than savory people that can come from posting something on the internet. You could probly find one at your local petsmark (or similar place) during the week ends.
yeah, but we are willing to feed them and give them water, and they have plenty of shelter here. main thing is that we need to get them fixed, which we have talked to a lady at a feral spay/neuter group, she told us they would fix them for $25 a cat, but that adds up when you have a full colony to fix. after this year and the wedding we are hoping to at least get the females fixed though.
So wait... You won't bring them to a no kill shelter, where they would get the necessary medical attention, care, shelter, and the possibility of a new life and home. Instead you're convinced that simply having food, water, and "plenty of shelter" is good enough? Since they aren't even spayed/neutered, I doubt they are getting the necessary medical attention and care [such as vaccines, flea/tick prevention, deworming, etc] as that would be much more. Since they are not raised indoors it also doesn't sound like a very good environment for cats since they will be exposed to disease, illness, and unsafe conditions. Just because they have "plenty of shelter" does not mean that it is safe or cat-friendly shelter, nor an actual shelter...
If you can't afford to properly care for animals, including ALL medical attention, the cats deserve to go to a no kill shelter and at least have some hope of finding a home. Considering a shelter will be able to do a proper investigation of people applying to adopt a cat, and be able to meet the cat prior to making a decision to adopt. Another benefit of a no kill shelter would be attention, as not a lot of people want a feral cat, much less one who hasn't been spayed/neutered/vaccinated/etc.
