Furbaby Kitten Shower

Kitten season is beginning at the New Albany Animal Shelter!  While cats can get pregnant year round, in the beginning of summer shelters around the world begin to see an influx of nursing moms and babies.      

In most cases, litters of kittens must stay at the shelter for several weeks. They need to finish nursing and grow to a safe size for surgery.
