What’s Kitten Season?
A combination of temperate weather and feral cats in heat creates the perfect conditions for an influx of kittens every spring. Many animal shelter and rescue organizations are already stretched thin, making it even more difficult for them to help these newborn kittens.
How can I help?
Your monetary contributions to our annual Kitten Season campaign directly support these organizations, getting them credits that go toward purchasing healthy food, litter, and other essential supplies from us.
How does Kitten Season help animal shelters and rescues?
“The toys we get from Kitten Season are great for increasing the kittens’ confidence and safely channeling their inner predators! These little ones especially love the colorful springs, toy mice, Boinks, Cat Charmers, and Cat Dancers. When they’re done playing, they feel so satisfied and cuddly. Having all these toys means we can cater to each kitten’s play style and makes it easy for adopters to see how sweet and fun they’ll be, which helps them all get adopted more quickly!”
“Kitten Season has been an incredible support to Tri-Valley Animal Rescue. [It] provides us with much-needed funding, essential supplies like food, litter, toys, and warm beds, and – most importantly – space in Pet Food Express stores for adoption events. Thanks to their partnership, we can give more kittens the care they need and find loving homes for them faster.”
Find a Rescue
Use links on the map to connect with rescues and shelters near you. Once you find a cat, you can ask questions, set up virtual or live meet and greets, and apply to adopt – all directly with the rescue partner.
What are other ways to help?
If you’ve ever been curious about how you can help or just needed that push to adopt or foster – this is your chance! Adopting or fostering is an amazing way to support shelters and rescues during Kitten Season. Doing so frees up space for more animals, allowing these organizations to focus their attention and resources on pre-wean kittens, who require round-the-clock care, or other cats that may need more help.
