Kitten Season... How Can I Help?

It's the time of year when litters of kittens will soon be popping up everywhere.  Do you know what to do if you come across a litter of kittens outdoors?  Scoop them up immediately and take them home with you, right?  Not necessarily.  Alley Cat Allies has some very helpful information to help you determine how old they are, and what to do next.  See their article by clicking here . 

Many shelters will be overwhelmed with requests to take in kittens, and we all try to help with whatever we can.  Shelters who are caring for kittens will especially need supplies like Kitten Milk Replacement powder, canned or dry kitten food formulated for just-weaned kittens, and baby blankets.  Our shelter donation "wish list" can be found at http://members.petfinder.com/~IN34/donations.html .

Before kittens are completely weaned and eating solid food regularly, caring for them can be very time-intensive, and we sometimes use the help of foster volunteers who can care for the kittens (and the mama cat if available) in their own homes.  Volunteers keep them until they are weaned and there is room to take them into the shelter.  If you have a spare bathroom or bedroom and some extra TLC to give, maybe you'd like to be one of those volunteers - just contact us!

Special Spring Adoption Fees for Adult Cats!

The Hancock County Humane Society has lots of great adult cats like Dudley, patiently waiting for someone to take them home. During April and May, we will be discounting our regular adoption fees for adult cats to $50 for one adult cat or $80 for two adults adopted. Check our website for pictures of all our adoptable cats, or come in and visit. Our adult cats are fully vaccinated, tested for FIV/FeLV, and spayed or neutered... ready to move in with their new best friend, YOU!
