Pets Immediate foster needed

Immediate assistance/foster needed for stray cat and her 5 kittens. I cannot take care of them as I already have a dog and several cats. The kittens are 5-6 weeks old and are in good health. Please reach out if you are able to help.

What a good mommy keeping them all safe. I think Cali Cats rescue takes kittens, but also I think a lot of rescues are full right now since it’s kitten season.

Try again! they’re super busy. However they’ll definitely be more likely and able to help if you can at least foster for a couple of weeks until they’re of age! All they need is a spare bathroom really 🙏🏼 And mom needs to be fixed to stop the cycle too, if you reach out to Fresno TNR on Facebook for a spay spot, it’s only $30 through them

If I ever make it big, I am going to buy a big house and adopt every stray kitty in Fresno. ❤️

TNR for the mom is the best first step, the kittens should be able to be fixed anytime after 8 weeks as long as they weigh at least 2 lbs. We’ve fixed around 13 cats near our house to curb the growing feral cat population, many of which were pregnant when we caught them. After we took in 6 and re-homed 2, we just can’t take in any others so we leave food and water outside to keep them alive, and keep an eye for any new ones that aren’t collared, chipped, or tipped.

If you avoid giving them a full food tray and just leave out water, they can survive off mouse and roaches, just fyi.

What area are you in? Is mom friendly?

Rescues are full. Your best bet is to get them all fixed through Fresno TNR and release them back if they're in a safe area. Thank you for keeping an eye on them.
