Kitten Season is here,
Got Kittens?

What is Kitten Season?

Kitten season is a seasonal increase in kittens being born in the community. This typically starts early spring and lasts into Fall/Winter. It can vary in length depending on your local climate. Milder climates like ours have a very long kitten season!

Found kittens?

I found a kitten

Don’t pick them up and take them away to a care center! Mom is likely close by and watching. Kittens have the best chance at survival when raised by their moms. It is critical that they stay with mom! Each year, our care centers are faced with thousands of kittens taken away from their moms and being brought in from the community. This is far more than our capacity to care for them. Not all kittens need our help. If the kittens appear clean, healthy, with full bellies, mom is caring for them.

Found kittens and thinking about bringing them in? Read these info sheets to help you estimate their age decide whether they need your help!
