From @flatbushcats: “[🎶: Again by @Wun__Two] Kitten season begins again. As the weather warms and unfixed outdoor cats give birth across the city, thousands of little ones start showing up at local shelters. Emails, texts, DMs and calls for help pour in nonstop. (Note: always keep young kittens with their mom. Wait a few hours to see if she is still around, and make sure to spay her as well. Have a plan and observe the situation first, don’t just grab kittens unless you’re trained and ready.) Kittens who are too sick or too young to thrive on their own are often euthanized when there are not enough resources and fosters to care for them. We’re committed to keeping local Brooklyn kittens off the streets and out of the shelters, to free up space for others - pairing them up with fosters (like you) and providing medical care, supplies, and support all the way through adoption. And we’re also committed to maintaining our trap, neuter, return (TNR) program despite all of the chaos, to make sure fewer kittens show up in the future. Thanks to our amazing donors, fosters and volunteers, every single kitten you see here was rescued last kitten season and is currently living the VIP life indoors with an amazing family. Can you be a hero for some little ones this year? Please consider making a small monthly donation, or if you’re in the Flatbush area, visit our site (in bio) for more ways to get involved. We need rescuers, TNR help, fosters, transportation, photo/video and operations support. Thank you. ❤️🐾🙏🏻” #catsofinstagram [source: http://bit.ly/2Gupsu3 ]
