The Kitten Lady is nationally known professional kitten rescuer and humane educator who travels the country to teach classes about kitten care and has gained a loyal social media following. <\/p>\n<p>Kittens brought into the shelter without a mother are at the most risk of serious disease and death if proper care isn\u2019t given immediately and, in most cases, around the clock. In past years there was not a life-saving option available to these animals, but after working to recruit fosters and resources aimed at neonatal kittens we\u2019ve gone on to save thousands of lives in just a few years. <\/p>\n<p>Our foster program is solely funded by donations and grants like this one. Foster families receive training and all the supplies needed to care for their foster animal(s). Foster families interested in caring for neonatal kittens also go through additional training to learn how to properly care for and bottle feed our tiniest residents.
