- Kitten Season? Are you serious...?
Yes, there really is such thing as a "Kitten Season"!
In many parts of the work during springtime, when the weather gets warmer, momma cats tend to start having their litters. Working as a cat and kitten foster, I see my local shelter go from having hardly ANY kittens to suddenly LOTS of kittens, sometimes more than they can handle. And the sad truth is that people often find and bring small kittens to a shelter, but no one spays the momma, so she goes right out and gets pregnant again. Every time I get a group of "orphan" kittens, I can't help but think about the mother going back into heat and producing another litter.
While I love taking care of foster kittens, I also spend time helping people in my community trap and spay or neuter their feral or community cats. This is the only way we can stop the cat overpopulation problem, and it's not easy, but it works if you keep doing it. Fortunately, where I live there are several low cost clinic who will fix cats and even sometimes do the surgery for free. Until we invent a magic wand that can tap a cat on the nose and instantly make him or her sterile (oh I WISH!), TNR is the best option for these kitties.
In this video, you will meet five of Kitten School's newest foster kittens and watch as they get a much-needed bath and eye medication. And there's more kittens who will be introduced in a later video!

It's that time of year...when momma cats everywhere start having their kittens. Our shelter has seen a huge increase in kittens being brought in over the last few weeks, and it sure keeps foster homes very busy. Come meet some of the newest babies here at Kitten School!
To say it is a busy time of year when it comes to new kittie arrivals, is an understatement. Again dear lady you are doing a wonderful job in the kittie season. To see the amount of blood and other nasty bits that came off the kitties in their first bath,it shows how much pain and discomfort they were in. After their spa treatment you see how much more comfortable they are.
Yes I'm glad I can make a difference for this group, but there are so many more out there who don't get the care they need. Spay and neuter is the only option! Thanks for the comment.
cute! Ty
How do you keep the drive going year after year? It's truly admirable and I have total respect for those that dedicate themselves to caring for less fortunate animals (and even humans). To be honest, I do my part in a small way but I could NEVER consistently care for kittens and bottle babies litter after litter.
My hats off and salute to you and EVERYONE else that sacrifices for these sweet, innocent babes.
Thank you for the kind and very thoughtful message. I will admit it's not always easy to foster on a full-time basis. And though I try to be honest in my videos about the sad times that inevitably happen, fostering is not always about happy, healthy kittens tumbling around. Often it's sick kittens with diarrhea who need to be syringe fed and have their bedding changed and washed several times a day, and the helpless feeling of doing whatever you can to help one who is failing, and sometimes losing him. There's getting up at 3 am to feed bottle babies, and then not being able to fall back asleep. And I'm not making money taking care of fosters, so I still have to work. There are times I think, "god I just want a week to take care of nothing but MYSELF!" But caring for cats and kittens is what makes me get up in the morning with a feeling of purpose. These little ones need me, and that is what keeps me going. Knowing that once I'm done fostering, they will be off to their forever homes to make other people happy. It's a lot of dirty work, expense, and (occasionally) heartache. But it's what I feel that I was put on the earth to do. So I do it.
@@KittenSchool without trying to sound trite: THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Awww....I'm so glad these babies have you! Our rescue "kittens' that my daughter and sil kept b/c they had some respiratory issues and they feared people getting them and being unable to care for them financially and otherwise, will be two this month....We were lucky with that group, not a one of the, including mama had fleas. YOU are an angel to take care of these babies. THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for the kind words! I love taking care of these babies, and seeing them thrive and go off to their new forever homes is the ultimate reward. Many happy purrs to you and your family!
How sweet to see the babies this time of year but it shows we have so much work to do to get spay and neuter surgeries done to decrease over population
Hi Laura, You are absolutely right. I imagine a world where there are just enough kitties to go to people who want them! Spay and neuter is the only option to get us closer to that. Thanks for the comment.
I am so thankful that I can help so many cats and kittens. After writti g this we had another little mommy give birth so we have 4 moms and babies. We call it the maternity ward.
Thank you for all you do for these precious little lives.
All your cats look quite beautiful. You are doing a great job, especially when you save their eyesight.
Thank you! I think our cats are beautiful, too. Each is so unique. Appreciate the nice comment, Jack!
I love kitten. So cute
We do too!
At 4 weeks old, kittens are like human toddlers.
Yes they are! And at 6 months, like our newest addition, Lolly, they are like hyper active ADD preteens!
@@KittenSchool Toddlers are also hyper.
Another great video and effort by Kitten School. These tiny kitties are surely in good hands now. What would happen if people like you weren't around? I've never seen cats to bitten up by fleas as to produce all that blood in the bath water! No animal should have to live like that. Do you know where the mother is?
Yeah, can you believe all that blood? And when they are that flea-infested tiny kittens can get anemia from the blood loss. These guys are having a little diarrhea now from switching from mom's milk to formula, but we're working through it. Sadly, I don't know where Mom is, because these kittens were brought to the shelter by someone. I hate the thought of her out there looking for them, and then getting pregnant again. WHENEVER possible I trap and fix mom.
@@KittenSchool I assumed the mom was lost, but maybe she is out there looking. That's too bad, but we'll probably never know. I'm confident that these kittens will be strong and healthy and on their way to a good life with your help. I was thinking about that brown water again today. I've never seen anything like that. I'm so happy you have come to the rescue!
@@KittenSchool Please keep us posted on their progress.
