Have you found a litter of kittens that need care? Do you have an interest in helping homeless cats and kittens in need? Just want some more information? You’ve come to the right place! Please note that cats are very self-sufficient and pose no danger to the community. Because of this, feral mama cats with babies should be left alone unless in need of help or care. If you find a stray baby kitten, wait out of sight for a few hours–usually the mama will come back to get it. If you feel as though a kitten is abandoned, injured, or in need of help, please call us so we can assist you. The breeding season in Valdosta is 10 months out of the year, and as much as we try to spay and neuter feral cats as quickly as possible, they are still breeding rapidly! Because of this, we get calls almost daily about litters of kittens that need help. Due to the large numbers of kittens and the fact that these fragile babies require special care, if they are taken to the shelter they may be euthanized unless they have a foster home to care for them. That’s where you come in! Please find some basic information about caring for kittens below.

Due to a lack of spay/neuter surgeries and more people staying home, more kittens are being found outside. It is important to leave any kittens found unless they are sick or injured. If you find a cat or kitten that is healthy and able to feed themselves, it is best to leave them outside. Before touching/moving or attempting to capture cats or kittens you find outside, please contact us with any questions, if possible. A kitten’s best chance of survival is to stay outside with mom.
