I FOUND A KITTEN—WHAT CAN I DO?
Kitten season in the Bay Area can begin as early as early spring, with many kittens born to outdoor community (homeless) cats. If you find a tiny kitten or kittens in your yard or near your house or workplace, and the mother is present, call Palo Alto Humane Society at (650) 424-1901 for advice. If there is no mother cat present, or the mother disappears and does not return, first go to this Web site from Itty Bitty Orphan Kitty, a Peninsula and South Bay rescue organization for excellent advice:

If you still have questions, contact Itty Bitty Orphan Kitty directly, or call the PAHS office at (650) 424-1901.
Time is of the essence with abandoned tiny babies so make sure to get help immediately!
