If you have a place to foster any of your kitties temporarily, you might want to do that ASAP.  When do you go to court?  Depends on how crappy the law feels that day ... I do know of a man in the northeast a year or two ago, the law came in without warning and took everyone of his personal and rescue kitties.  By the time he had a lawyer to try to get his kitties back, most had been euthed.  Yes, horror story, which is why it has stayed with me a long time.  I was not there nor know him personally.  From what he said and having read his posts (different list) he seemed like a genuine animal caring person.  I realize this will intensify your worry and sleeplessness, I am so sorry, but you do have to do whatever you can to save your babies.  The real wrath of it is people like us who have over the city limit of animals but are devoted caretakers get in trouble but people who have even only one pet, neglected and abused, do not get caught and the animal suffers.  It really makes me angry.   Prayers and hugs for you and your babies to be safe.  Wish I could do something more for you.

I don't think they will take them away right away.. but if I can't find
a home for them.. which I won't --whenever I look a home for them, I end
up with more cats --my question is then, what will they do?  Will they
take away from me and eventually kill them?

I wouldn't think they could take them away from you;
rather, that they give you ample time to place them in
other homes.  But if it was me, and I hope I don't
offend anyone by saying this, if they told me I had to
get rid of some of my animals, I would say ok, and
take them to my moms until they came back to check,
and then like a teenager, I would bring them right
back home.  I've always been a little rebellious like
that.
