I've found a kitten. What should I do?
First, wait and see if mom returns. It is in our nature to want to help these fragile felines; however, in many cases, mom isn't too far away. If you don't see the mother cat for 8 consecutive hours, then you can step in and care for the kittens until they are old enough to find homes. These newborn felines are too young to stay in a shelter environment, and shelters are often too overcrowded to accommodate these new additions.
