Many kittens come into the shelter during the spring and summer months who are too young to place up for adoption. We try and place the young babies with foster families until they reach 8 weeks of age and/or are determined ready for adoption. Each season is different and hard to predict, but on average we place more than 50 kittens with foster families each year. Some babies need bottle feeding and some may need medication. In some cases we get small litters with 1 or 2 and other times we get larger liters of 5 or more. What is consistent, is that they all need lots of socialization and love!
If you or someone you know is interested in fostering underage kittens this spring or summer, please consider attending our foster kitten information meeting on Saturday, March 31 at 11:00 a.m. The meeting will be held at the Tri-City Animal Shelter at 1950 Stevenson Blvd. (adjacent to the Central Park Dog Park and behind the police department).
If you can’t make it to the meeting but are interested, please drop by the Shelter anytime during business hours, Tues. - Fri. 12:00 pm - 5:00 pm and Sat. 11:00 am - 4:00 pm.
