**KITTEN CAM**

So thankful that this litter of kittens was brought into the shelter with their mama, so they can thrive while receive the very best care directly from her. Unfortunately we are being overwhelmed by people brining in newborn kittens without their mamas, and need to issue this important message if you have found kittens and are not sure what to do...

Please do not bring kittens to the shelter immediately after finding them. 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.

In most cases, 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.
