I want to take back kittens after giving them away.

I gave away kittens and I have a bad feeling . The people were not dressed properly, car was dirty. Personal life on Facebook looks decent but in person does not. She hooded the cat wrong and said “this is how you grab them if they behave bad." I don’t know what to do. I want to take the kittens back.
