did you try and contact Chiang Mai Cats and Kittens adoption? also you can have them steralized for relative little money at Don Kaew Animal Hospital.  500 for males and 1000 for females.  about what a couple nights out would cost.  i am currently sponsoring 14 cats and kittens.  easy to get attached to these guys.

That sounds the same as Adopt Me-Ow Chiang Mai, which I already contacted. I sent them two videos and three photos of the kittens, as they requested. Adopt Me-Ow told me that the kittens were about four to five months old, which is too old for them to take. Is this the same organization or a different one? If it is different, then I will certainly contact them and see if they can help. Thanks for your reply.

i fed a 3 legged cat for years , her owner used to spend a lot of time away so the cat used to come to my house to be fed then wander off.

She had Two kittens just recently and they came along with her to eat. ( Tesco canned cat food ) 

She got run over the other day and died , but the kittens still keep coming every morning. 

I will carry on feeding them till I think they are old enough or big enough to hunt.

We are in a village and the amount of pigeons and field mice give them plenty to go at.

There are a few cats round here and we are pleased  , they keep the mice and the bird away from the house.

Very good of you to help the kittens until they can fend for themselves. In my case, however, the kittens are in the parking lot of a large apartment building within the city. I don't think the opportunity for them to hunt for food will present itself when they are older. Your kittens seem to have a much brighter potential future in the village than mine do. For now I'll keep feeding them until another viable solution comes along. Thanks very much for your response.

It would help if you post photos and videos of the kittens so people can see what they look like.

Thanks for your idea. Here are two videos and three pictures.

Donnacha-- Did he clearly say that he took in the cats? He didn't say that at all. I read it as a lady and her children with pointed teeth took them. If the lady is the mother cat and her children are the kittens, then you're right, I did totally misinterpret what he said. Understandably enough, in light of the fact that cats are not ladies and kittens are not children. If he wanted to say that he took in the cats, he could have said exactly that. In any event, my post was seeking information about a place I could take the kittens to live. His response could not have been more irrelevant and unhelpful.

Anyhow, don't we all like little cats when we dine on the Wai?

In my condo complex we got several cats to get rid of rats. In the meantime the rats are gone. But also the birds are gone and also most of the squirrels disappeared. I like cats. But if you don't feed them and let them roam freely they will hunt what they can get.

I hope that in the future they will be able to fend for themselves, but for now they are too young. They're maybe about 4 or 5 months old, and seemingly totally reliant on the food I give them. Hopefully I can eventually wean them off this food and they will be able to hunt, but I'm not sure if there's enough sustenance available around my building to support them.

Very interesting article. Thanks for sending it. In the case of these kittens, I don't know what kind of wildlife they could eventually kill in the heart of Chiang Mai, unless you classify cockroaches as wildlife. I've never seen any rats near where I live and not many birds. More likely if left on their own they would ultimately starve to death. In any event, they have an instinct for survival as strong as yours or mine. That means that they will kill and eat anything available rather than suffer a slow agonizing death from starvation. That's the law of nature, which neither you nor I can alter.
