Did you know that there's a time of year known as "kitten season?" It's a time of year known to the animal welfare folks because people start finding stray kittens just about everywhere -- on the street, in their back yard, maybe even under their house! The reason is simple; stray and feral cats tend to breed when the weather starts getting warmer and, before you know it, people start finding litters of kittens all over the place. (Get a kitten season 101 overview here.)
We’ve teamed up with our friends at CATastrophes.com to:
- Bring more attention to this yearly explosion of the feline population
- Show you how you can help
- Show you how, if you bring home a new kitten, to keep your resident kitties happy. (HINT! It all starts with bringing these cute new kitties to the veterinarian before bringing them home.)
