kitten season

[liz-hippymom]

kitten "season" is in full swing people! if you have any desire to adopt a kitten, do it now ! my local shelter is putting down 1-2 LITTERS every day. it is so bad they are running a special where to adopt a cat under 5 years is only 35$ and one over 5 is FREE. I actually convinced DH to let us foster a litter!! :

I'm currently fostering a litter. They were the third litter found in a certain neighborhood. Earlier this week, a fourth litter was found in that same neighborhood. One of the litters, they said the mom was still a kitten herself!

The little guys I have were 3 weeks old when rescued, 4 weeks old when we got them. Several had bad eye infections leaving some blind/partially blind. You would never know it with the way they run, climb, cuddle, and play. We love having these 6 little guys and are so excited to help in the process to finding them loving homes!

I hope the price changes are helping kittens find homes!!

That is so sad that so many kitties are being put down I know the shelters don't have any choice. Yet another reason to spray or neuter your pet.

I wish more people took this to heart. Our local shelter is overwhelmed as well, but thankfully we aren't at the point of having to euthanize.

i am curious about what the difference is in cities that are no-kill and ones like mine? i am guessing it is more city funding into spay/nueter programs? here there is one free and one low cost one and both are hoop jumping enterprises to use.it just makes me sick all the animals that town lake puts down every day. i am too pregnant and emotional to be thinking about it, because it kept me up last night!
