Cat Fosters Needed!

Can we have a slumber pawty?! Kitten season has sprung, and we have kittens who need a place to crash for a few weeks…will you help?

We have mamas with babies, as well as groups of 2+ kittens, who need fosters. It is so much better for little kittens with their developing immune systems to be cared for in a loving foster home vs. being exposed to all the noise, germs, commotion and stress of the shelter.
 
Please help us help these little ones! To inquire about fostering, please visit our Foster page or contact Alaska@oahs.org.

Found kittens outside? Don’t Kit-Nap!

Tiny kittens’ best chance of survival is typically to stay with their mothers, especially if they are under 6 weeks old. If the kittens are not injured or critically ill, it is often best to leave them where they are, even if you don’t see a mama cat.

Not sure what to do? View our step-by-step Found Kittens Chart HERE (PDF)

LOST OR FOUND A PET?
