Kitten Season is here!

For PAWS, kitten season means thousands of dollars in vet fees. Can you help?

Kittens need lots of hands-on care, not only from our foster parent volunteers, but from veterinarians too, for exams, vaccines, spay/neuter, and sometimes for emergency care.

It's Kitten Season. It sounds cute, but it’s a challenging time of year. As the days get longer, calls for rescues & cat surrenders are surging. There are helpless cats & kittens suffering in very dangerous situations.

Our volunteers work every day and night—under porches, alleys, beneath bridges, and in abandoned spaces—to bring these animals into the safety of PAWS care.

PAWS is 100% volunteer-run and has received no government funding since 1982. Every life we save is powered by heroes like you!

It costs us approximately $600-900 in veterinary costs for each kitten or cat for exams, vaccines, spay/neuter & micro-chip. That doesn’t include emergency visits such as eye infections, respiratory issues, dental & major surgeries, etc. or costly supplies for our tiniest residents.

We’re hoping to raise $12,000 for veterinary costs by May 15.
