If you are interested in a cat

We are wanting to reshare this, because we are having a HUGE increase of kittens being taken away from their mom and turned in.

🐾 Tiny Kittens, Big Responsibility 🍼

We know it’s hard to walk away from a tiny, crying kitten—but picking up neonatal kittens (newborn to ~4 weeks old) can actually do more harm than good.

💡 Here’s what you should know:
• If the kittens are warm, quiet, and tucked away — mom is likely nearby
• Mama cats often leave briefly to find food or move safely around people
• Removing kittens too soon can separate them from their best chance of survival

🚨 When SHOULD you step in?
• The kittens are cold, wet, or injured
• They are crying nonstop for hours with no sign of mom
• You know for certain mom is deceased or not returning

🖐️ What you can do instead:
• Keep a safe distance and monitor from afar
• Check back in a few hours
• Call us for guidance before intervening

Neonatal kittens require round-the-clock care, specialized feeding, and constant warmth—something their mom does best ❤️

When in doubt, leave them with mom and reach out for advice first. You could be saving their lives by not picking them up.
