FOSTERING KITTENS
We take in various ages of kittens during the spring and summer months. Sometimes we get called out on a daily basis by residents who find kittens on their property. We take in anything from newborn kittens that need regular bottle feeding, to older ones that primarily need socialization. We rely on dedicated and caring foster families to help us with the care of our young kittens. If you are interested in fostering, please contact us, as we are always looking to get more people involved.
