Erika: I have a trap for trapping the mom cat and the kittens can't be spay/neutered until they are either 3 mos. or 3 lbs. If you adopt them earlier you can purchase a voucher at ATA and give it to the adopters as part of the adoption fee. Your best bet in socializing the kittens is to keep them inside and away from mom and really force your attentions on them. The first time I ever tried to socialize kittens I was unsuccessful because I kept respecting their privacy. MAKE them pay attention to your gentle attentions by not giving up even if hissed at. You are trying to show/prove that this 2 legged animal is good to 4 legged ones. (I lick my fingers and pet/rub their heads, just like mom does) Good luck!
