Southern Nevada shelters brace for annual kitten season surge of newborn cats
LAS VEGAS (KSNV) — As temperatures rise in Southern Nevada, animal shelters are bracing for the annual surge of newborn cats known as “kitten season.”
Kitten season happens every year between about March and October, when warmer weather leads community cats to breed, and shelters begin seeing little kittens trickle in.
Animal care officials urged residents who spot kittens in their neighborhoods to avoid intervening right away.
The best thing to do, they said, is to leave the kittens where they are because their mother is likely caring for them.
Even if the mother cat is not immediately visible, she may be nearby searching for food.
The mother cat is taking care of the kittens, and removing them can reduce their chances of survival.
BE THE FIRST TO COMMENT
Their best chance, officials said, is for the kittens to stay with their mom, who can provide nourishment.
