Special Supplies Needed for Kitten Season
Can you help by donating important supplies or volunteering to foster? Many of these kittens arrive without mothers and require 24/7 care, including consistent warming and specialized feeding to survive.
Special Supplies to Save Kittens
While everyone loves an adorable kitten, kitten season can be a trying time for shelter staff and volunteers. It comes as an influx of animals to the shelter who require more care and attention than most other animals to thrive and survive.
Young kittens separated from their mother are most at-risk. They require consistent warming, round-the-clock syringe feeding with a special Powdered Milk Replacer formula using special Miracle Nipple syringes, transitioning to bottles.
Having foster volunteers and the right supplies on hand makes all the difference to save lives, and prepare kittens for adoption. One of the most crucial supplies is needed when it’s time for kittens to wean from milk or formula- a special Royal Canin canned mousse wet food that’s soft, appealing, and effective to support kitten health..
To support kitten fosters, Animal Services is seeking donations of essential feeding supplies:
- Powdered Kitten Milk Replacer (KMR)
- Miracle Nipple syringes
- Warming Discs
- Royal Canin - Ultra soft mousse canned kitten food
- Nurser Bottles
