  • How to Socialize a Kitten

    Congratulations on deciding to foster and socialize kittens! Spending time with these fuzzy little guys, though a lot of work, will also be a lot of fun. We have tons of tips on how to help your mini kitties feel at ease around people, and how to help them grow up to be loving companion animals.

  • Socializing Kittens

    We know that cats can live healthy, happy lives outdoors, and this is certainly true for kittens, too. But if you have the time and resources, it may be possible to socialize or "tame" kittens up to 4 months old to be cuddly, friendly cats. It is a commitment, but all you need is a little skill, hard work, and lots of love!
