KITTENS NEED OUT!
RESCUE OR FOSTERS NEEDED ASAP!
We do have our kitten foster program up and running. If interested, please send an email to the link below and we will send the necessary paperwork along with all info required to foster.
We currently have several groups of kittens who need rescue placement. Most are around 6 weeks old and are here without their moms.
Right now, these babies are healthy and doing well, but we all know how quickly that can change with kittens this young in a shelter environment. We would really like to get them out and into rescue before that happens.
Rescue partners, if you can help with a group of kittens, please contact us at: [email protected].
