Kittens & TNVR
What to do about Kittens
Every year starting in late winter, thousands of free-roaming cats give birth to kittens across Prince George’s County. Many kittens don’t survive, but a large number of kittens do. The situation caused by the presence of kittens vary depending on the circumstances and the humans involved, so each case is unique. Advice and assistance for your case must be tailored to your needs in order to be helpful. If you need information, advice, or assistance regarding kittens, don’t wait until the problem becomes urgent to call local TNVR Groups. During this season, they are very busy assisting residents due to the large numbers of kittens. Below are some general Do’s and Don’ts for kittens:
Do's
- Contact TNVR Groups for specific advice ASAP
- Take pictures to assist with describing the situation
- Leave food and water nearby
- Alert neighbors to be on the lookout for them
Don'ts
- Move or disturb (except in case of imminent danger). Just because you do not see mom does not mean she is gone
- Wait to seek assistance and advice
