Help! I Found a Kitten!
Found a kitten? Check first
In danger or distress?
A kitten who is dirty, visibly underweight, injured, or in distress may need immediate help. Contact a veterinarian or local rescue promptly.
Appears healthy?
A healthy young kitten likely has a mother caring for them, even if she isn’t visible. Keep the family together whenever possible.
