Kitties, kitties, and more......KITTIES!

Is it kitten season again? No, but it sure feels like it.....the city animal shelter is OVERFLOWING with kitties, kitties, and more kitties!!!

These baby-sweeties are too young to be adopted yet (they must be 8 weeks old), so they NEED FOSTER HOMES IMMEDIATELY. The city animal shelter is a rough place for weebies, who are extra vulnerable to illness and stress.

All they need is a warm room (even a bathroom!) to stay relaxed, healthy, and safe. Do you have extra room in your home and your heart to save these furbabies?

If you can help, go to the ACCT shelter at 111 W. Hunting Park in Philadelphia. They're open 7 days a week! Fosters get free vet care at the shelter, along with an army of volunteers to support you and help you find permanent homes for the kitties once they're ready. For more information on any of these wonderful babies, please contact Maria Decker, Feline Life Saving Specialist at ACCT, at
mdecker@pspca.org.

The following kitties and kitty-moms are on the "URGENT" list and need to leave the shelter immediately.
"LITTER A: The Tuxedos!"
There were originally 8 kittens in this litter, but only 3 are left. They are now anxiously awaiting their turn to be put into a loving foster home. These kittens are around 5-to-6 weeks old and there are 2 females and 1 male. All of the kittens have tuxedo coats. Everyone is so playful and they are so fun to watch! They enjoy snuggling up together for a nap. They were all curious about what was beyond their cage - -maybe you could show them?
“LITTER B: The Brady Bunch!”
These kitties remind me of the Brady Bunch when they sing “It’s a Sunshine Day’ – look how they’re all lined up behind one another! This group of 4 kittens came into the shelter as strays. They are around 4-to-5 weeks old. There are 2 black kittens and 2 grey and white tabbies. These kittens were a little shy and hiding behind each other, but as soon as their cage was opened they just had to investigate. They all loved being in the spotlight – just like the Brady Bunch!
“LITTER C: The Pointer Sisters!”
Check out this adorable trio of sisters! These lovely kittens are around 4-to-5 weeks old. There are 2 all-black kittens and a very pretty tortie. They were found living underneath someone’s front porch and they need someone to give them a more suitable home. All of their eyes are changing to a beautiful green color.
“LITTER D: Mike and Mickey!”
Mike and Mickey are a cute pair of male kittens that were surrendered to the shelter because their owners had too many animals. They are around 4-to-5 weeks old, both are handsome orange tabbies. These cute boys need a loving home that can take care of them until they are big enough to be neutered.
“LITTER E: Brownie!”
Ok, so this one’s not actually a litter….Brownie came into the shelter all by himself! He was found on the street and was very thin and scared. He is around 4 weeks old. Brownie can be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly, especially when you scratch his neck! He needs a foster home to care for him and keep him company (he’s all by his lonesome self at the shelter!)
“LITTER F: Silky and her Babies!”
This momma and her babies are getting sick and need to leave immediately! Silky is a momma cat with three adorable young kittens. Silky is about 1-to-2 years old and has gorgeous green eyes. She is beginning to sneeze, so she and her kittens need to find a foster home immediately! Her kittens are very sweet and enjoyed their time snuggling up with momma. Some of her kittens have some eye discharge and will need some medication to get them all better, but the shelter will provide that to you. Note: Silky was so excited to get some scratches that she couldn’t sit still for a photo shoot!
“LITTER G: Beauty and her Beasts!”
Beauty and her kittens (who are anything but beasts!) have been here at the shelter for too long. They’re getting sick and need a foster home to get well. Beauty and her 4 kittens are about 5 weeks old. Beauty is a gorgeous black cat that is super friendly and loves attention. Two of her kittens are black while the other two are adorable torties. All four of her kittens are very sweet and playful. Beauty and her kittens enjoy snuggling together while getting some loving attention.
“LITTER H: Aunt Jemima and Firefighter!”
Aunt Jemima is an adult female with a single, newborn kitten. She is a beautiful orange tabby, which is very rare for female cats! She and her kitten were found living on a fire truck (hence the name!)! Aunt Jemima has a great appetite and is a very affectionate mother of her newborn. She and her kitten are catching a cold so it is very important these two find a foster home ASAP. Aunt Jemima absolutely adores her kitten and would do anything for her. Can you help this momma protect her baby?
“LITTER I: Lita and her Lovelies!”
Lita is a momma cat who just came in with her 4 kittens, who are only A FEW DAYS OLD! Lita is about 3-to-5 years old and has a gorgeous tortoiseshell coat. She is currently nursing her kittens. Lita and her lovelies were found underneath someone’s porch and they deserve a much better place to call home, even if it’s temporary. Please help these newborns stay healthy!
“LITTER J: Momma and the Babies!”
Momma is exactly what her name says! She is a 3-to-5 year old momma cat that is pure white with gorgeous green eyes. She and her 5 kittens were found on the porch of an abandoned house. There is one female kitten and all the rest are boys. The kittens are very tiny and LESS THAN A WEEK OLD! Please, help save this family!
(Lea and Company were busy, so we couldn't take their glamour shot!)

“LITTER K: Lea and Company!”
Lea arrived here at the shelter along with 5 kittens. She is a very pretty tabby cat with some white markings. Lea is very sweet and she was so starved for attention that couldn’t sit still for a picture! Her kittens, who are around 5 weeks old, are absolutely adorable. Three of them look just like their momma and the other two are black and tuxedo. Can you foster this family until they’re old enough to be adopted?
