vaccinated. Kittens & Puppies 5 weeks or older

Underage animals with mothers Good moms take care of their
young. Watch out for mothers pushing babies away. Can become a
bottle feeding situation please make sure to view that slide. Be
careful! Some mothers can be very protective!
Slide 8
Pregnant animals Most animals will give birth with little to no
assistance. If your foster animal appears to be struggling please
call a staff member! Make sure they have a quite room and a some
sort of enclosed box if they wish. Be careful! New mothers can
become very protective! Not all newborns survive. Call the shelter
to report how many babies your foster animal had.
