Kitten season

It's Kitten season in the USA, when lots of feral and outdoor cats have their kittens and often end up with them dying or themselves not being able to look after them. Foster parents are needed for these little kittens who can feed and look after them until they are big enough to be adopted. They are very vulnerable and are often found dead or seriously ill or injured. Many good people go out and trap the adult cats and neuter them so they dont produce another litter of kittens... and others take in the homeless ones and feed and care for them and find them new homes.
