Beyond a Buddy PG&nbsp;event post - 4/22/26 - with video of kittens:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.facebook.com/reel/2367820770405418/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">facebook.com/reel/2367820770405418/</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=26591810500500530" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"></a>
"Tiny, wobbly, and full of mischief… this is what your spare room could look like. These little ones are safe in foster, growing bigger and stronger every day… but so many more are on the way and will need a place to land. The good news? Kittens don’t need much space… just a small, safe spot and someone willing to help them grow until they’re ready for adoption.&nbsp;Join us this Saturday, April 25 for our Kitten Shower and learn how you can be part of their story. 
Whether you foster, donate, or simply show up to support, it all makes a difference. Fair warning: side effects may include tiny meows, playful chaos, and falling completely in love. 
Light refreshments provided. Donations are not required to attend the shower, but are appreciated.
To FOSTER: Complete a foster application then email fosterpgcpets@co.pg.md.us with the animal’s name and ID number."
