Join live sessions at select Broward County Libraries
Many kittens are born this time of year during Kitten Season, which runs from June until October. If you find a cat with her litter, you're asked to leave them alone. Picking up found litters of kittens may hurt them more than help them. If you have observed the kittens for 24 hours and are sure that the mother isn't returning, you may pick them up and care for them. Newborn kittens need special care. You can help by learning how to bottle-feed them.
Kitten Care, a joint program between Animal Care and Broward County Library, will teach attendees how to care for abandoned kittens found in the community. There will be live bottle-feeding demonstrations with kittens and opportunities to become a neonatal kitten foster parent. Informational sessions will be led by Emily Wood, Director of Broward Animal Care, at select library locations:
- Saturday, May 28, 2-3PM Hollywood Branch Library, 2600 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood
- Tuesday, June 7, 4-5PM Stirling Road Branch Library, 3151 Stirling Rd., Hollywood
