Spring marks the start of kitten season, when thousands of vulnerable kittens and nursing mothers begin arriving at the city shelter. At PAWS, our nursery is already filling up with a steady stream of tiny, fragile lives who need immediate care — and we need your help to be ready for what’s ahead.

Help us welcome the little ones by joining us for a Virtual Kitten Shower from Monday, April 27 through Monday, May 4!

This virtual campaign is all about making sure we have the supplies and resources needed to care for kittens through the busiest months of the year. From formula and heating pads to lifesaving medical treatment, these babies often require intensive, round-the-clock support just to survive.

Check out a variety of easy, fun, and impactful ways to get involved and support PAWS during our Virtual Kitten Shower:

Send Vital 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 healthy 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. We’ll need donations throughout kitten season and all year long, so please bookmark this page for later!

Make a gift to PAWS’ Kitten Care Fund and have it DOUBLED!

As some of the most fragile animals we rescue, kittens often require above-and-beyond care and medical treatment due 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 Monday, April 27 through Monday, May 4!

The Tringali Family are PAWS adopters and dedicated animal lovers who are committed to helping all pets in need — we are so grateful for all of their support and for this wonderful opportunity. Please give today to double your impact! Your gift of any amount will ensure we are ready for the little ones who will be counting on us this year.

Join our Foster Team

Foster parents are the reason we can save as many lives as we do, and they are essential for young kittens, who are too small and fragile to survive in the shelter. By signing up to foster now, 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.
