Doubt exists that you can be cuter than the kittens.

LOL.. As much as I do love her, she is not cuter than the kittens. They are full of squee!
She is full of.. "go nag someone else!"
I'm so sleeping on the couch tonight!!!!
It shouldn't be difficult to find a no kill shelter or cat rescue in your town if you don't want to deal with them yourself.

Should I put them back where my girlfriend found them, in hopes that momma cat will be around to take care of them?
Too late - as soon as you picked them up, the momma cat will no longer take care of them. If you picked up just one kitten out of the litter and put it back, she'd move the rest of the kittens and leave that one behind.

100% not true. When we had 4 ferrel kittens in our back yard we captured them. The first one I caught escaped the trap when I reached in to take it out. I picked her up and she bit me and ran back under the shed.
The mother cat stayed put (easy access to food) and didn't move her kittens. 2 weeks later we had caught the whole group and got momma spayed and the kittens we slowly domesticated and got them a good home.
I think the touching thing is a myth setup just to keep kids from bringing home/messing with animals.
The mother cat will continue to hang around for at least several days, even if she's ferrel and you touched them. However, given the kittens were so friendly the odds are she is as well, and it's a bit odd she's also not hanging around.
Which tells me they are drop offs. I volunteer for several local shelters and we know kittens.
They also look at least 6weeks old and healthy, which means they should be taking solid food but might not be hungry yet. Give them a day or two away from mom and trust me, they'll attack moist food.
You might be surprised how reluctant local shelters are to take kittens, although most will offer to euthanize them for you. Unless their cat population is low, which is not likely given the current economy....but it's worth a try.
Local pet stores are sometimes worth stopping into and askin. If the kittens are clean they'll often put you on a waiting list.
Craigslist ad, make sure they know the kittens need their shots & to be spayed/neutered. Why should YOU bother with extra expenses because someone may have dropped the kittens off at your house?
Must be a Florida thing. I haven't heard of people using Craigslist to get kittens for any reason other than to take care of them as pets. I've met every person we've given a kitten to & I can say without a doubt that none of them planned on using them for dog bait, feeding snakes, or torturing them.
