Did You Know?
Ear Tip
"An ear-tip is the universally recognized symbol of a cat who has been spayed or neutered. Ear-tipping is a standard part of most Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs. It's a method to let everyone know at a glance that a cat has gone through a TNR program."
Keep Kitten Warm
"Keeping young kittens warm is essential, as hypothermia is the most significant threat to their health. If you’ve rescued an orphaned litter, make sure they’re dry and check if they’re chilled. Hold any chilled kittens to your bare skin to gradually warm them, and avoid feeding a chilled kitten. Create a nest by lining a cardboard box with towels or a blanket and keep the nest warm. Consider using a snuggle disk or, with caution, a normal heating pad, a bottle of hot water, or a heated sock filled with uncooked rice. Monitor the nest’s ambient temperature, and keep the kittens warmly nestled for four weeks."
Education is the Key
Check out information about kittens/cats. Here are a few ideas.
* Do Not Kitten Nap.
When kittens are very young, their best chances of survival are with their mom. If the kittens are in an unsafe locations, appear distressed or mom hasn't returned after several hours, first make sure they're warm, and then reach out to your local shelter or rescue group for help.
* Symptoms of Fading Kitten Syndrome
Early signs that a kitten is fading may include lethargy, lack of interest in nursing, sleeping separately from the litter, and whining. Caregivers may notice that the kitten's skin is less elastic, which is a symptom of dehydration.
* How to Become a Foster Hero. Whether it’s caring for animals recovering from medical procedures, helping underage or underweight animals until they are appropriate for adoption, or giving much-needed temporary relief to shelter animals that need a break from the fast-paced environment, foster volunteers provide compassionate care for animals in need.
- Become a Volunteer to Help Animals. Shelters are always in need of someone like you to get involved.
