This spring the Orphan Kitten Club provided us with 2 additional incubators and 50 "Confident Kitten Care" kits to support our foster families! 🐱

The kits include supplies that most families fostering neonates might need: a bottle set, warming disc, thermometer, NutriCal, and even a tube for those who may need to be tube-fed! 😋

These kits have already helped several hundred kittens this year, like this adorable group of little beans rescued at a local fire station. We're so grateful to be a Mightycat Core Partner with the Orphan Kitten Club. 🩷
