'Tis the season - for kittens that is

Spring has sprung and "kitten season" is here. What the heck is "kitten season," you ask? In most states where winter temperatures actually dip below freezing, cats breed seasonally. Such is the case in Colorado. In April we begin getting calls about momcats with litters of kittens in window wells, orphaned kittens found in crawl spaces, or from folks whose cat had kittens and the momcat has disappeared.

This story is about a little white and orange kitten found in the parking lot at an apartment complex. This little cutie was brought to Cat Care Society where we estimated his age to be about 10 days old since his eyes were just beginning to open. One of our veterinary technicians bottle fed the baby boy until we were able to place him with a nursing momcat in one of our volunteer foster homes.

Now, if you are thinking you'd like to adopt this little waif, he won't be available for adoption until he weighs two pounds. Sorry, it's state law, and a good one for the kittens. But, by the end of May or first of June for sure, we'll havelots of kittens needing homes.

We also are in need of more volunteer foster homes. What this means is that you take care of a momcat and her kittens until the kittens can be adopted. It's a lot of fun watching the kittens grow and seeing how each one has a different personality from the get-go. Call us at 303-239-9680 if you'd like to open your heart and home to some furry, purry creatures!
