Nursing Cat Foster

During kitten season, roughly March-December, we become overrun with nursing cats and their kittens. Our kitten foster volunteers provide the care, socialization, and love needed to raise healthy adoptable kittens. The time commitment for kittens ranges 2-8 weeks, depending on their age when they arrive at PRC.

Nursing moms do all the hard work of feeding and cleaning their babies. Your job is to provide a safe and clean space for them to wean them. Kittens return to the shelter for weight checks and booster vaccines every 2 weeks until they reach 1.5-2 pounds and are then able to be scheduled for their spay/neuter surgeries and put up for adoption.
