Our shelter is full of kittens!!!!!!

There are "The Dog Days of Summer," but did you also know that there's a "Kitten Season?" (CUTE PICTURES @ THE BOTTOM >^..^<)

Kitten season is the time of year when cats give birth, flooding animal shelters across the nation with homeless litters. Kitten season is really three seasons in one, starting in spring, peaking in late spring or early summer, and ending in fall.

Why Does Kitten Season Occur? When warm weather coincides with female cats' heat cycles, female cats go into heat and male cats come running from near and far. The easiest way to help reduce the overwhelming numbers of unwanted cats is to spay and neuter your own cat and encourage others to do the same. Unaltered cats are driven by their hormones and tend to sneak outdoors primarily in search of a mate. Mating just once can start a domino effect that can result in dozens, even hundreds or thousands of unwanted animals. These unwanted cats and kittens, when not left on the street to fend for themselves, often turn up in high volume at the local animal shelter.
