Kitten Week 2025!
Kitten season is here and there are so many ways to help as PAWS gets ready to welcome the little ones! Throughout the week, we’re hosting a diverse range of educational events and donation drives with a particular focus on fostering.
• SIGN UP TO FOSTER: By signing up to foster, you’ll ensure enough homes will be ready as kittens arrive in the coming weeks and months. Our foster team can match you with orphaned siblings or singletons, bottle-feeders, or a mom with babies — based on your comfort level, experience, and preferences.
• DONATE KITTEN SUPPLIES: Between in-shelter kitten care and supply kits for our foster parents, we go through tons of formula, wet food, and other necessities that keep growing babies heathy and nourished. You can help make sure we have everything we need to care for them by sending kitten supplies through our Kitten Shower Wishlist.
• ATTEND OUR KITTEN FOSTER ORIENTATION: Join our Kitten Foster Orientation on Wednesday, April 30 at 6pm at our Grays Ferry clinic. (Rather join from the comfort of home? Don’t worry, we’ll be live-streaming so you can join virtually, too!) You’ll learn all about our foster program and how to care for young kittens, and then you’ll be able to start fostering as soon as you’re ready. Plus, you’ll meet some tiny and adorable friends! Register here.

• DONATE TO PAWS’ KITTEN CARE FUND: As some of the most fragile animals we rescue, kittens often require above-and-beyond care and medical treatmentdue to illness, injury, or failure to thrive. Because the need is so great, all gifts to our Kitten Care Fund are being generously matched by the Tringali Family, up to $5,000, between April 11 – April 18! The Tringali family are PAWS adopters and dedicated animal lovers who are committed to helping all pets in need — please give today to double your impact!
