With a
capacity of 250 to 300 kittens at a time, managing the demand is a joint effort between the paid staff of 26 caregivers, 60 (and growing) volunteers, and a host of
foster homes, who take on litters of kittens to bottle - feed and care for at
home for days, a week, or
as long
as the eight weeks it takes for a newborn kitten to be old enough to spay or neuter.
As time passed and the shelter reached
capacity it became clear they needed to leave the shelter soon.They were lucky enough to find a
foster family willing to
foster them together until a new
home could be found.
