Here's what you can do to make it easier for this to get some traction:
Make one unlocked post that sort of explains the relevant facts: where the kittens came from, the fact that you are not yourself keeping and breeding unfixed cats to produce them*, what (possible) veterinary issues any of them have, whereabouts you are (you don't need to post your street address in a public post or anything), the dearth of available spaces in local shelters, and your hopes for ideal placements, and contact info for interested persons.
Keep it somewhat succinct. It would be good to link to the "here are the pictures of them" post, but what you really need is one post that tells the facts in an easy to digest and straightforward manner. I got all the backstory by skimming your journal going back a couple months, but most of the people I might point your way won't wade that far.
The thing I *ed is important, as it will save you getting lectured when this hits the wilds of the internet.
If you do that, I'll link to it, flagging it to the attention of cat-lovers and Michigan ones in particular and ask that Michigan folks who can't otherwise help, help spread it around.
If you want to do something for me in exchange, please repost the shelter videos as public posts on your LJ, and encourage others to do the same.
Note: as of today, I'm going to be traveling for a bit. I don't get LJ comment notifications (health reasons!), my internet access is going to be sporadic, and I have some memory issues. I may not remember that you approached me about this. I will definitely not remember to follow up. When you've got a linkable post made, remind me in a comment on whatever my latest blog post is at the time.
