What to do if...
Unsure what to do when you find kittens?

If cats or kittens do need HELP...
- If you have waited for hours and a young kitten’s mother never returns, you will have to intervene and provide care in her stead.
- Step in if the kittens or their mother look sick or injured and are clearly not thriving.
- Contact a local veterinarian for help right away if the mother cat or kittens appear ill or injured. Surrendering is humane.
