**URGENT KITTEN SAFETY MESSAGE** Found kittens and not sure what to do?!? Do not bring them to the shelter immediately. The shelter is currently overwhelmed with litters of very young kittens being brought in without their mamas, and it is impacting the safety of these kittens. Please call our staff first so we can help assess the situation and advise on what is best for the kittens.If you have found newborn or young kittens, please leave them alone! Mama cats are very protective of their kittens and rarely abandon them; if you don’t see the mama, they are probably close by their babies and will be back soon. Newborn kittens are especially vulnerable when separated from their mamas, and will struggle to survive without them.Want to help our kittens?!? We are seeing unprecedented numbers of kittens being brought into our shelter. We urgently needs donations of non-clumping kitty litter, wet kitten food, and dry kitten food; donations can be dropped off or shipped directly to our shelter.

What a great week at the shelter! Thanks to the support of our community, so many dogs and cats found their forever homes.

We are continuing to see an unprecedented number of cats coming into the shelter, so every kitten and cat adoption is critical to continue to provide space for more lost, abandoned, and stray animals to come in. Thank you to everyone who has helped through donations, fostering, and adoptions!!!
