The Little Ones- Kitten Rescue

FOSTERS URGENTLY NEEDED
We are currently seeking fosters for our older, more independent kitties! 🐾
If you are interested in opening your home to a kitten or cat in need, even temporarily, this would help tremendously! There is an overwhelming number of babies that have needed help this year, with extremely limited placements for them. So please consider lending a hand! Fosters are an amazing stepping stone on the way to permanent placement!

**SOS**
We are URGENTLY needing homes for many of our older kittens! Our page has been pretty quiet for a few weeks now because kitten season has been coming at us full force. We cannot continue at this rate unfortunately. It absolutely breaks my heart to have to turn away kittens and people in need of help but we have no choice right now. We are extremely overwhelmed and the past month has been nothing less of tragic.

If you're in a position to open your home to a cat in need of a home, please consider adopting! It would mean the world to them and us!

A "spay-abort" is a standard veterinary procedure where a pregnant female cat is spayed, terminating the pregnancy. It is considered a safe, humane, and practical method to protect the mother's health and prevent overpopulation, as developing fetuses do not experience suffering.

HOW IT WORKS

×××The Procedure: The veterinarian removes the uterus and ovaries entirely. This removes the developing embryos and permanently prevents future pregnancies.
×××Timing: It can generally be performed at any stage of gestation, from early pregnancy up to right before labor.
×××Veterinary Context: Because blood vessels in the reproductive tract are enlarged during pregnancy, the surgery may take slightly longer and require extra care compared to a standard spay.

BENEFITS OF A SPAY/ABORT

×××Overpopulation Control: With millions of homeless cats in shelters, preventing new litters alleviates strain on rescue resources and ensures more adoptable cats find homes.
×××Maternal Health: Frequent pregnancies and births take a severe toll on a cat's body. A spay-abort eliminates the health risks associated with giving birth, such as delivery complications, infections, and malnutrition.
×××Disease Prevention: Spaying eliminates the risk of uterine infections (pyometra) and mammary tumors later in life.

If you are caring for a stray or pregnant cat, consult a local veterinarian or animal welfare organization to discuss your options. You can use resources like the ASPCA or Petfinder Shelter Search to find a low-cost spay and neuter clinic near you.

🚨 Our kitten nursery is FULL. 🚨

Dallas Animal Services has no room left in our nursery, and underage kittens are still arriving every day. These fragile babies, only a few days to a few weeks old, are too young to eat on their own and need foster homes immediately.

Without foster volunteers stepping up, we may not have space to care for the next kittens who come through our doors.

The good news: you can help, and we provide everything you need. Dallas Animal Services supplies the food, bottles, medical care, training, and ongoing support. No previous fostering experience is required.

By opening your home to a tiny kitten, you give them the chance to grow strong enough for adoption and create space in our full nursery for the next life in need.

Our nursery is full, but our community's compassion can make room. 🐱🍼💙

These are the babies that were born in my car a few weeks ago lmao 🥴🙂‍↔️
They're soo chunky and cute. They hiss at me every time I go check on them. 🥹

I've very happy to report that Miss Peep is progressing amazingly. She's gained almost 3 ounces, opened her eyes, and even started purring and making biscuits. 🥹

FRIENDLY REMINDER:
The only difference between your pet that you love so much and those feral cats and stray dogs that are labeled as "pests", is that your pet was lucky enough to find someone to love and care about them. 🙂‍↔️
