The purrpose - it's about the cats

The purrpose - it's about the catsThe purrpose - it's about the catsThe purrpose - it's about the cats

We love kittens, too...

But - they are not our mission.  With other organizations in our area, our goal is to provide partner resources for support with rescue and shelter access and placement.  Our vision, however, is "no cat left behind".  That means that we will work to help others find resources to support the rescue and placement of kittens in need.  

Know When to Rescue

Knowing when rescue is needed, and what to do is important.  We love The Little Guest House resource to "wait and watch" to determine the next best step!

Leave Them Be

Removing kittens from their mothers and bringing them indoors can be harmful to their well-being.  If you see kittens alone, their mother is likely close by.  Her instincts make her the kittens' best possible caregiver.  


Learn more about "Leave Them Be" through this thorough the Alley Cat Allies "Kitten Protection Guide".

How Old is That Kitten!?

Straight from Alley Cat Allies - kittens are adorable at any age! But...it can be tricky to tell how old they are, and what sort of care that they need!


Here you'll find a great size chart & guide!


Remember - before you do anything, never separate kittens from their mother cat.  

Rescue Partners & Organizations are Everything

We Can't Do It Alone

When the need is so big, the criticality of connections, partnerships and sharing information is where the power comes.  Below, you will find additional resources and rescues that may be able to provide support for kittens.  Be sure to reach out to each with questions and clearly sharing your need.
