Did you know that kittens are among the most at-risk animals in shelters? Many end up at an overcrowded shelter due to well-intentioned people who aren’t sure how best to help.
The ASPCA offers guidance on how to best assist kittens you find. Taking them away might not always be necessary, as the mother cat could be nearby foraging or hiding. Remember, no one can care for a kitten like their mother!
Before taking action, consider these questions:
- Is the mother cat nearby? Watch quietly for a few hours to see if she comes back.
- Are the kittens in good condition? Look for round bellies and clean fur as a sign of health.
- Are the kittens in immediate danger or looking sick? If yes, please reach out to us immediately.
