Back Street Kittens

Back Street Kittens We are no longer accepting any new kittens/cats as we are transitioning to a sanctuary for the cats we currently have.

If you adopted from us and can no longer care for the cat, that cat must be returned to us per the adoption contract. The “Back” story
BACK STREET KITTENS
Back Street Kittens was founded by Teresa Kern in Duluth, Georgia in Feb. 2019. We are a very small rescue that did what we could to help feral kittens and their moms. Since we started, we have saved about 200 kittens/cats. We have made the deci

sion to no longer do any intake. We are becoming a sanctuary so the remaining BSK's will have a safe place to live out their life. If you have adopted from us and can no longer care for the cat, they need to be returned to us per the adoption contract. We will continue to help with community TNR by lending out traps and giving instruction on how to use them.

Hi everyone, it is me Tippy. The human took this picture because she said I was just too adorable! She is always right.
While the human was getting our evening meal ready last night, I noticed that the food cupboard is pretty empty. The human counted cans and said we had 9 days left. I don't really know how long that is but it doesn't sound like much. Would you please help us fill the cabinet? I don't know about you but I live to eat. The human calls me the kitty disposal because once I finish my bowl of food, I always go finish everyone else's.
The human said she would put links in the comments below. I hope you know what that means cause I don't.

Hi, it's Tippy again. We met a couple of months ago when I asked for your help to fill our Friskies cabinet. I am back to ask for your help again. The cabinet is getting low and mom is worried. You were very generous last time and I am hoping that you will help us out again.
Not only do I monitor the cabinet but I also make sure no food goes to waste!

Ladybug wants to shout out a huge thank you to everyone who sent food. We now have over 1 month of Friskies cat food. We are so grateful for the outpouring of support

Miss Ladybug is asking for your help. We currently only have enough canned Friskies food for 8 days! I have included links in the comments.

Just wanted to let everyone know all the kitties are okay. They don't know anything unusual is going on except for they don't have access to the front or back porches. I closed them up yesterday afternoon in anticipation of the teens that are forecast for early Monday and Tuesday mornings. We got very little precipitation overnight and as of right now, 10:12 am Sunday morning, we still have power. Hoping our luck holds out. Stay safe everyone. I will post a photo in comments to show you how upset the cats are!

🚨 Winter Weather Advisory – Pet Safety Reminder 🚨

With dangerously cold temperatures and winter weather impacting our area, it is NOT safe for animals to be outside right now. Frostbite and hypothermia can set in within minutes, even for healthy pets.

🐾 Please remember:
•Bring pets indoors. No animal should be left outside in these conditions.
•Frostbite happens fast—ears, tails, noses, and paws are especially vulnerable.
•Watch ice melt products. Many are toxic to pets if licked or absorbed through paws.
•If your pet must go outside for a quick potty break, limit time outdoors and dry their paws immediately when they come back inside.

🚫 Now is NOT the time to abandon animals—anywhere.
This includes leaving animals outside, tied up, or dumped at our shelter doors.

🤝 If you are struggling or need to surrender an animal, please ask for help. We are here to work with you and find safe options.

❤️ Stay safe and stay warm.
We are closely monitoring weather conditions and will share updates regarding shelter and clinic hours as more information becomes available.

Thank you for looking out for your pets and for each other.

Your unaltered female is about to go into heat and try to escape. If she gets out, the neighborhood strays will be waiting for her. She will be cornered and usually mated with by numerous males. They will also be sharing their diseases with each other because unfixed cats are almost always unvaccinated.

She may or may not find her way back home. Either way, she will be pregnant. If she doesn’t find her way home and manages to navigate the outside world, she is now just another stray cat.

➡️ THIS CAN HAPPEN AT JUST 4-5 MONTHS OLD.

PLEASE protect your pets from this. Ask for help if you need it. If you ask for our help, please be prepared to get all cats fixed, not just 1 or 2 and leave others unaltered. We are here to do thorough work helping cats.

Post specific to males coming soon 🩵

I have spent the afternoon deep cleaning the bedroom. The cats have moved to the living room. How many do you see?
