The June Pawlice Report 🐾
This month SPD's intern, Lucero, and Officer Strzyzewski joined me in hanging out with 3-week-old kittens! 🐈😻🐈⬛
Kitten season typically runs from March through October, with the busiest months usually being May and June. Nationally, around 1.5 million kittens enter shelters each year, and about 50% are under 8 weeks old. At HSSC, this creates a constant need for foster homes, supplies, and community support.
A big part of kitten season is neonatal care. Many of the kittens who come to HSSC need intensive support, including bottle feeding every 2–3 hours, heating support, and close monitoring. Just $21 provides one neonatal kitten kit, which includes essentials like formula, a heating pad, playpen, litter, and bottles. When entire litters arrive, those costs multiply quickly.
At AdoptSheboyganCounty.org, you can find resources on what to do if you find kittens. In many cases, the best place for kittens is with their mother, so please check the Humane Society's kitten guide, flowchart, and development chart before bringing kittens in.
Ways the community can help include:
Foster: HSSC needs foster homes for all stages of kittens.
Donate: Kitten supplies are always needed during this busy season.
Share: Spreading the word helps save lives.
They also have two kitten-focused events coming up this month:
