Kitten season? I want to foster a litter of kittens but are kittens ever born in december?

I have done foster care for our humane society for years and kittens are born every month of the year. I enjoy taking care of the little ones who need bottle feeding or meds every so many hours around the clock. Not all litters need that much help though, depends on the age of the kittens when they are found or sent out to us for foster care.

How nice of you to want to help!

We have 4 other cats and the fosters are kept in a separate bedroom until they are old enough to come out. Also be sure they are healthy as you don't want your resident cats becoming ill fro a transmitted disease.

Have fun!

There are many opportunities to foster. I did want to give you a heads up that some organizations require you to keep the fosters in a separate room. They don't want any illnesses passed between them or added stress on animals that are in a new home trying to get well. Other than that, you can foster litters with their mom also. Then you don't have to worry about bottle feeding, just work on weaning them around 4 weeks and socialize them and give them back. Litters are born all the time but it would be tricky to time one exactly with your break. I would encourage you to explore the opportunities that don't require bottle feeding.

It rather varies from one Humane Society to a various. some supply aspects and others do no longer. the comparable is authentic of maximum any rescue team or take care of. It additionally oftentimes relies upon on how many cats you're fostering at any given time. once you're purely fostering one muddle of kittens, i would not anticipate plenty (if any) counsel with aspects. At one factor i became into fostering as much as 22 cats and did get carry of a few counsel with muddle and food. of direction, veterinary care and drugs are maximum continually provided. It won't harm to ask, yet i would not bypass into it awaiting to realize this devoid of any very own price. have faith me, this is not any longer low-fee to foster cats. even nevertheless this is amazingly profitable.

well, do you have terratorial male cats or females that might not like a liter added to the fmily? (even if its temp) couse that could be a problem.

kitten season is normaly in the spring or fall. its rare in the winter but, its not imposable. i suppose if a male got his paws on a female in heat he wouldnt care if its winter.

Why can't you foster an older cat?

yes

what do you do when you want to sleep instead of getting up?

Yess, but it would be rare.
