"So kitten season is the time of year when the weather is warm and shelters are unfortunately being absolutely inundated with kittens. In the United States, we see about 1.5 million kittens entering shelters every year. And most of them will come into shelters during May and June. So this is a time of the year where shelters need all hands on deck from the community to help out through fostering."

"Cats are out and about and breeding more and then also the survival rates of the kittens outdoors are higher because of the more temperate weather. So as the temperature is warmer, we can expect to see more kittens both being born and surviving long enough for somebody to find them, scoop them up, and bring them into the shelter. And then we do see regionality in terms of like how many kittens are entering shelters. So for example, the South Atlantic is by far the hardest hit region in the United States. And then, we kind of have like the South Pacific and areas around Texas, all around the southern part. Kittens season is longer, it’s a harder hit region, and then as it goes north, there’s fewer kittens. Although I will say, no matter where you are in the United States or truly anywhere in the world, kittens need you if it’s warm outside."
