Dear Annie: My daughter took in some kittens that a mama cat delivered on her property. She was very selective about who she would give them to and wound up only finding a home for one of them. She decided to keep two of the kittens, along with her existing two cats, which left three without homes. She kept them for seven months and then decided to release them into the wild at the beginning of cold weather. These kittens had been raised as house cats and were suddenly put out in the cold to fend for themselves.
