SOS! All hands on deck! Mama kitties’ bellies are swelling, and there are little fuzzballs on the way. An average unaltered female stray cat has two litters (or more!) of kittens every year. (We know. That’s a LOT).

A litter of kittens is only in a mama cat’s belly for two months. And a female cat can get pregnant as early as about six months old. Every spring and summer, we’re up to our necks in kittens!

Last year, we had 373 kittens between March and September. Yep, you read that right.

We need 2 things.

Thing 1: We want to empower you with knowledge so you know what to do when you find unattended kittens, and how to help us slow down how many kittens are born, so the adult cats already waiting for homes have their best chance. We’d also love to tell you about our foster program! Maybe you can care for some kittens short-term this summer? We have a crew of dedicated kitten-foster-parents - and we’d love more! We can’t do this alone.

Thing 2: SUPPLIES. Kittens eat a lot. Mostly, pretty please, we need kitten food - wet and dry - and all ages cat food for mamas and babies. There’s more - bottles, formula, heating pads, tiny toys and tiny carriers. We’re hoping you and your friends can gather us some donations!
