😳 Right now, we are caring for 28 precious kittens who depend completely on us for full bellies, warm beds, and a safe place to grow. Every tiny meow, every little purr, and every set of sleepy eyes reminds us why this work matters so much — but we can’t do it without you.

We are desperately in need of the following supplies:
• Kitten canned pâté food (we typically use Purina, but truly anything helps!)
• Disposable gloves (sizes M, L, XL)
• Purina ADULT Cat Chow
• Non-clumping litter

These babies may be small, but their needs are mighty, and our shelves are emptying faster than we can refill them. Your support means the world to these kittens who have already overcome so much at such a tiny age.

Thank you for continuing to stand beside us, love these babies as your own, and help give them the chance at the happy, healthy lives they deserve. From the bottoms of our hearts — and their tiny whiskered faces — thank you. 🐱💛

Please find our Chewy & Amazon wish lists on our home page. Stop in during our open hours Friday 12-6p to drop off donations & see the faces you're helping care for!

🐾 DON’T KIDNAP KITTENS 🐾
If you find kittens outside, please pause before picking them up — mom may be closer than you think.

Every spring and summer, well-meaning people bring in healthy nursing kittens believing they’ve been abandoned. In reality, mother cats often leave their babies temporarily to hunt, eat, and avoid drawing predators back to the nest.

🍼 Kittens under 4–5 weeks old have the best chance of survival with their mother. Mother cats provide nutrition, warmth, immune support, grooming, stimulation to urinate/defecate, and around-the-clock care that people simply cannot fully replicate.

Bottle and syringe feeding can save lives when truly needed — but it is incredibly demanding and high risk. Neonatal kittens require feeding every 2–4 hours (including overnight), precise temperatures, and careful technique. Orphaned kittens have significantly higher mortality rates compared with kittens that remain with their mother.

🐱 Unless kittens are in immediate danger (injured, sick, cold, confirmed orphaned, unsafe location, deceased mother, etc.), the best thing you can do is:
• Observe from a distance for several hours
• Look for signs mom is returning
• Leave kittens where they are if safe
• If possible, catch mom WITH the kittens

Why catch mom too?
Because mother cats can become pregnant again, very quickly — sometimes even while still nursing their current litter. Keeping mom with kittens and getting the family into rescue together helps prevent another litter cycle and gives everyone the best chance at a healthy future.

📣 At Eastshore, our maternity ward is currently FULL with nursing mothers and abandoned litters. Space and foster resources are becoming extremely limited, and every litter that can safely stay with their mother opens lifesaving space for kittens who truly have no mom.

For the healthiest development, kittens should remain with their mother until they are fully weaned — typically around 8 weeks of age.

If you find kittens and aren’t sure what to do, contact a rescue. A quick message could save lives. ❤️
