It’s that time of year, when humans die from cuteness and explode with frustration. That’s right, kitten season is here, and because people did not spay and neuter their cats or the strays in their community, kittens abound. Just in time, Kitten Rescue has opened their new nursery, and they threw a kitten shower to celebrate! We only live a few minutes from Kitten Rescue’s Casitas sanctuary, so my human popped over. I stayed home and loafed.
Perversely, the first thing my human did was check out the adult cats. Kitten Rescue had recently upgraded their area, so she wanted to see how they liked it. In spite of the crowds, this orange guy seemed pretty chill.
Here is his information sheet — all the cats had one.
This tortie and white kitty had drawn quite a crowd, and she was quite happy to just pose.
My human didn’t catch the names of these two cats, but they didn’t seem to mind all the visitors either. Most of the cats, in fact, seemed pretty calm about it all.
One cat my human looked for but couldn’t find was Domino — she was one of the recipients of the Santa Kitty Toy Hop a year and a half ago. She had a brother, Monster, but he passed away a few months after the Santa Kitty Toy Hop. My human found Domino’s information card, so she knew she was still there. Perhaps she was napping somewhere.
Finally my human made it over to the new nursery. There were several nursing moms, including this pretty tortoiseshell.
There were some kittens without moms, and that’s when volunteers stepped in.
It was really tempting to reach out and touch these babies, but each cage and enclosure had signs warning the visitors not to do that.
This baby doesn’t realize how lucky he is — he has a team of volunteers helping to take care of him and the other kittens in the new Kitten Rescue nursery. He’ll grow strong and healthy, and when he is old enough, he’ll find a good home. There are lots of kittens — some in your neighborhood — who need help. Do some research and see what resources are available where you live, so if you happen on kittens in need, you know what you can do for them.

That is a pawsome rescue shelter!
We hope they find great homes for all their residents so others can be helped too:)
All kittens ake our hearts melt. All kitties inside should realize how lucky they are that someone cared enough about them to adopt them or bring them some place safe.
Hopefully when the people come to look at the sweet kittens they will be drawn to all those beautiful adult cats. All we can do is keep trying to spread the word about spaying and neutering and hoping people listen. I increase my food donations now to the shelter since they always seem to need so much more this time of year.
It’s nice that the adult kitties got some upgrades to their housing. Hopefully everyone, young and old, find a forever home soon.
All are squeee worthy, kittens and adults.
The Human is so hopelessly grabbyhands it is good she was not there to be tempted. We think the growed-up kitties are just as cute though and we hope they find homes, too. XOXOXO to all the people who save these beautiful creatures, babies and adults alike.
Oh my mouses those kitties are cute. All of ’em. The babies and the older ones, too. Looks like a great rescue, for sure.

What super photos…………Dakota’s got a GREAT face – and I do hope Domino is OK and was just in some quiet corner somewhere watching the action. As for the babies – who doesn’t LOVE a kitten….precious +++++ I was once that little and 16-1/2 years later Mom says I’m STILL adorable. We hope all the kittens are healthy and ready for a home and that the older residents get lucky too!

Kitten Rescue is doing an amazing job! Well done! All the kitties are lucky to be there, safe, with their individual needs met and eventually guided to a good home 😀
the critters in the cottage xo
Great photos. I hope all these beauties get their forever homes.
What a fun place to go and thanks to all those people that take care of those cats. The kittens are just too cute.
What lovely babies! Hope they all find a home.

So adorbs – kitten season comes directly after tax refund season so part of my refund goes to my local rescues.
So glad there are places like Kitten Rescue!
we love nurseries like this – bottle babies can be some of the hardest to raise and are in the most danger in typical shelters. YAY!!!
Fortunately more and more cats are spayed now and in my town we have a group of young vets who catch the stray cats, spay them and then they are released. We also have a new cat shelter where cats are spayed too. In all vet cabinets they make publicity ! I think that is a real good thing !
Summer Samba Pretty Cat: I would love to see a couple of pictures of YOU as a Little Kitten!
On a related note, at the International Cat Show in Portland, I was surprised at how big some kittens were, and still (age-wise) classified as “Kittens!” Shows how quickly they grow up!
And, my Sydney actually became prettier as an adult cat, than she was as a kitten, believe it or not!
we hope they all find good permanent homes.
Oops, meant “Kitten Rescue”. Purrs
All such sweet kitties. Thank goodness for the loving folks at Kitty Rescue. They even have very cute “don’t touch” signs. We are very thankful for places like this. Thanks for sharing! Purrs
What an amazing job kitten rescue is doing!
Purrs,

Big cats and kittens.All are cute and all need homes.
WE are glad they have such good care.
