It's Kitten Season. We Need Your Help.
Each spring and summer, thousands of vulnerable kittens are born across our community. This year, we’re facing an especially tough challenge.
Due to the fire at our Detkin/Oates Animal Community Center, our shelter capacity is significantly limited. While we continue to care for animals in need, we can’t do it alone. Now more than ever, we’re counting on the compassion of our community to help us protect and care for kittens who need support.
Here’s How You Can Help
We currently have no available kennel space for kittens due to the recent fire at our shelter. If you’ve found kittens and are willing to foster them, we may be able to help. Please email us at intake@hssv.org before bringing any kittens to the shelter.
We’ll let you know what’s possible based on current capacity.
Resources
Looking for more guidance? Our Resources page is full of helpful information on what to do if you find kittens, how to care for them at home, and when to intervene. Whether you’re a first-time finder or a seasoned foster, you’ll find the tools and tips you need to make informed decisions.
HSSV is unable to take in any bottle baby kittens, however we can give you resources to help them.
If they’re healthy and under 8 weeks old, you may be eligible for our Finder-to-Foster program. We’ll provide the supplies, medical support, and guidance—you give them a safe place to grow.
At this time, HSSV is unable to accept these felines. Please reach out to your local animal shelter for assistance.
