This is very good advice! Kitten napping puts a huge strain on resources, we don’t always have bottle feeders or formula so letting the kittens stay with mom until they are weaned is what safest for them and best for the shelter.

Found a kitten outside? Don’t rush in just yet 🤚🐱

As tempting as it is, many kittens are not actually abandoned. Mama cat is often nearby, just out looking for food, and will return when it’s safe. 💛

If the kittens are clean, quiet, and in a protected spot, the best thing you can do is give them space. Step back and observe from a distance for a few hours before intervening.

If mom hasn’t returned after 24 hours, please call 📞 (505) 468-PETS (7387) for guidance and keep the kittens warm in the meantime 🧣

Rabies is a preventable viral disease of mammals most often transmitted to humans through the bite of a rabid animal. Rabies virus infects the central nervous system, causing
encephalopathy and ultimately death. Signs and symptoms include aggressiveness, apprehension, headache, fever, malaise, sensory changes, paralysis, hydrophobia, delirium, and convulsions.
The incubation period is usually one to three months but can range from less than one week to more than a year. Death occurs in nearly 100% of infected persons. But rabies is preventable with proper vaccinations. Protect your pets and livestock with yearly rabies vaccines!!!
