OP again.
I took the first one to my local no-kill shelter which was just put up a couple years ago. They have a wall of cages for dropping them off when the place is closed, and no one was responding.
So I put the first one in the cage. He went in willingly. He was happy not to be in the car, I think. There are bowls of water set up, and he drank from it. Good sign. I put some dry food in the cage too since it'll probably be there until morning.
Then I came back and caught the second cat. Same deal, except when I got back someone had placed a blue hoodie in the cage for the first cat to sleep on. I placed his brother in with him since I figured they'd be familiar to each other, and keep each other warm.
Also someone had placed a chihuahua holding it's paw up to it's chest in the next cage. I gave it some of the catfood. :\
On the drive home I felt like shit. Worst case scenario, they get put to sleep. Best case scenario, they get castrated. I put on a pair of gloves when I caught them. I pet them. They'd never let me pet them before. They're only around nine months old, I'd been feeding their mom for a couple years. They didn't trust me exactly, but they knew their mom came to me for food, and I just felt kind of depressed that, that was the one time they were ever pet in their lives, and for all I know it could be the last.
I did the right thing, right?
