Found Kittens? 
Wondering what to do? Here's what you should do and why!

Many well-meaning animal lovers unintentionally orphan kittens by removing them from their mothers and bringing them to a shelter. Once an underage kitten arrives at a shelter, their strongest chance for survival is in a dedicated foster home. To learn about the best way to help kittens you may find outside, check out the video below!
More Information About Found Kittens
Most kittens should not be brought to a shelter in the first place, but once there, fostering is often the only way they can survive. Taking a shelter kitten home temporarily provides them the care they require that a shelter cannot provide. Fostering, though challenging, is going to be a rewarding, fun experience! Fostering saves lives, and you are changing the world by helping us save the tiniest, most vulnerable kittens.

Kitten Weight Tracking Chart

Kitten Stomach Capacity Chart

A kitten's weight is an important indicator of their overall health. Especially for kittens who are eating formula or gruel, it's important to weigh them regularly.
This handy chart shows the average amount a kitten should eat at every feeding based on their weight as well as how often a kitten should be fed.
