I do plan to really stay on the shelters, especially in about two weeks when the cats are getting to be old enough that separation will be ok: I honestly don't think it's too much to ask for a discounted spay/neuter/shots on the kittens even if I'm not asking for shelter space. I already have a potential home for 2 of the babies and we have somewhere that will take mama once she's done feeding, so I have ~2 weeks to find homes for the remaining 2, and I'm hopeful that I can do so. (I'm also being realistic about it, but hey, 2 kittens I can foster for a month even while I look for homes.)
As for money, I am trying to decide whether it's "fair" to ask L for money. Like. This is both L and K's fault, they both apparently made some huge assumptions and didn't take each other seriously and that's really shitty when there's a family of 5 with babies up in the air. But K at least was helpful yesterday - she went out and bought things at lunch, she actively called places to try to find a shelter, etc. L threatened to shoot them if he had to take them home again. He wanted nothing to do with them, basically he dropped them on K and made them her problem and then just left.
He obviously doesn't care about the cats so I can't "guilt" him into it with cute kitten photos or anything, but I still kind of feel like he did a really shitty thing to me and K both (SPOILER: I WASN'T EVEN INVOLVED IN THIS ANYWAY) and I am wondering whether it's fair to express this by asking for some money to put towards the vet bills and food bills I'll be running up here.
K has already offered to pay for some of it, so I don't have to take HER to task :/
