want to give away 2 young cats who AREN'T social .. where do they go?
i have 2 one-year-old cats that we found outside last september (09). they've been in a spare bedroom in our house ever since together, and haven't been outside. they're shy and don't have much socialization with people, except for when we're cleaning the room, feeding them, etc. i tried to get them out of the room but they hiss and are too shy. they actually seem very sweet, one of them came up to me, but we can't keep them in that room forever. my dad is looking to give them away. where should they go if they aren't fixed and are extremely shy and not used to people? thank you so much!

Try to find an Animal Rescuer who can foster them, rather than a shelter.
Shelters tend to be a bad place for animals to be socialized. Despite their best efforts, animals are left alone for many hours and don't get enough interaction or exercise in most shelters - behavioural problems tend to get worse, not better.
Far better to research and call up people in your area who are experience Animal Rescuers. They tend to be the most patient people, and skilled animal trainers. Google Cat Rescue or Animal Rescue in your area and state to see if you can't find someone with a bit more skill and a nice home environment to help these cats adjust and, hopefully, become more sociable. You still might end up needing to give them to a shelter, but it’s best to try to find a rescue organization first.

Thats a hard one because if they arent used to people, its going to be hard to give them away to a person. If you prefer, give them to the animal shelter for people to come along and possibly pick them up, or you can give them to someone you know. They arent social, but the thing is, they CAN become social.
