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?
“An ode to lickable treats!
Katara was found in an abandoned property with several sick littermates, and was very fearful of humans. Thanks to Pet Food Express donating lots of kitten food and lickable treats, her foster mom (turned adoptive mom) was able to lure her out and teach her that humans are nice!
Every day she spent a little time eating lickable treats and wet food out of her foster mom’s hands until she became more comfortable. Now, she’s equal parts sweet and spunky! She’s the happiest girl and completes her adopter’s family all thanks to the generous donations from Pet Food Express! She loves her “Acana First Feast” kitten food that keeps her growing big and strong and still goes crazy for her lickable treats.”
“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!”

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.
