**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.

There are some very special (and very small!) "guests" at the shelter who need a helping hand from our community. We are in need or dry puppy food, wet puppy food, and wet kitten food to care for these little ones that we are caring for.

If you have a couple of extra bucks and the kindness in your heart, we would be tremendously grateful for donations to be dropped off or shipped to the shelter. We are specifically hoping for:
- Kirkland brand dry puppy food
- Purina One wet puppy food
- Sheba or Fancy Feast wet kitten food

These specific brands are requested so we can keep the puppies and kittens on a consistent diet, which makes for happy and healthy tummies. Many thanks for your consideration of this ask for help!
