It can be tempting to take small kittens when you find them but usually, mom is not far away. It is important to leave them be unless they are in immediate danger. They still need their mom for survival and mom will likely return soon. You can check in every few hours to make sure.
If they are in danger or you are sure that mom isn’t returning and they are over 8 weeks old, you can bring them into our Admissions Center. If they are under 8 weeks, they will need to be fostered before they can be spayed/neutered and made available for adoption. If you are up for the task, we can supply you with a kitten kit and everything you need to know about caring for the young kittens.
