Kitten Season Resources

Adorable baby kitten showers aside, kitten season can be overwhelming and heartbreaking for those of us in the shelter and rescue world. To support you and your community, here are some new and old favorite resources: First, our free and easy-to-understand “Baby Kittens – from Found to Adopted” five-page PDF you can share with any kitten finders. Next, for shelter and rescue staff and volunteers, our friends at Maddie’s Fund present a webcast on Austin Pets Alive!’s groundbreaking kitten program. In part 1, learn how to start and build a bottle baby nursery. In part 2, learn how to create a foster program for neonates. Finally, they also offer “Caring for Orphaned Kittens” a self-paced CE course, “useful to both seasoned foster parents and those just getting started saving lives.” We hope these resources help all of you working the front lines of kitten season!

Diane & Bob Hoover Innovation Award Winner

Pethealth Inc. is honored to recognize Arizona Humane Society (AHS) as this year’s recipient of the Diane & Bob Hoover Annual Innovation Award. They’ll receive $15,000 for their innovative used car donation program. Due to COVID-19, the team at AHS was faced with several complex challenges both in and outside their shelter. As a result, they adjusted their pre-existing vehicle donation program to target donors in the community wishing to sell a vehicle — significantly increasing the program’s annual revenue.
