Kittens, Kittens Everywhere!


Kitten season has arrived! Look at this video of the little scrappers that showed up at the Shelter yesterday.




Pretty cute, huh? But pretty scared too. Poor things. These kittens came from a Mama cat that was either feral or had her babies outside and so they haven't had much, if any, human contact. Without the help of Shelter staff and volunteers socializing these little buggers they have almost no hope of getting adopted and finding a lifelong, loving home off the street. Thankfully, it's not too late for this crew. They are young and with the right foster home they will make it.


Anymeow, if you are interested in helping waifs like these survive, thrive and feel good around humans, you can volunteer as a kitten foster parent! We will train you to work with kittens so that you can help get them ready for adoption. Email our foster care coordinator, Monna Throop, at monnathroop@petslifeline.org to find out more.

Meet Milo!

Hello. My name is Milo. I am the official Shelter cat at Pets Lifeline in Sonoma Valley. Usually I spend my time greeting visitors, playing with friends, lounging in the sun and eating just about anything. But the remarkable volunteers at PLL have convinced me to chronicle my adventures here at the Shelter and introduce you to all the extraordinary animals, people and events that are part of this special place. Not sure why they think I'm the guy for the job... maybe its my catitude!
