Question 7

How was Tiny but Mighty Kitten Rescue created?

Accepted Answer

Mellissa, the President and Founder of Tiny but Mighty Kitten Rescue was a volunteer for the OSPCA in Cornwall, Ontario. Each weekend she volunteered, she would notice tiny kittens being brought in and the staff would simply put them in a room and close the door. After witnessing this multiple times, she inquired about what was going on and was told they were euthanizing them. Mellissa tried everything and offered to foster those tiny kittens as well as fully fund their care but was denied, multiple times. She decided to take matters into her own hands and in April of 2017, Tiny but Mighty Kitten Rescue was created!

Question 10

What do I do if I've found newborn kittens outside?

Accepted Answer

Wait and Watch:
If possible, observe the kittens from a safe distance for a few hours to see if their mother returns. The mother cat might be nearby, searching for food, or hiding from you. 
Check for Danger:
Ensure the kittens are in a relatively safe location, away from traffic, predators, and harsh weather conditions. 
Assess the Kittens' Condition:
Note their age, size, and overall health. Are they cold, dirty, or injured? 
Don't Disturb:
Unless the kittens are in immediate danger, avoid picking them up or moving them.

If the Mother Cat Doesn't Return:

Contact Local Resources:
Reach out to your local animal shelter, animal rescue organization, or a veterinarian for guidance and advice. They can assess the situation and help you determine the best course of action.
Provide Temporary Care:
If you need to provide temporary care, keep the kittens in a warm, safe, and quiet place, away from other pets. A quarantine period of at least 2 weeks is recommended to ensure they don't have anything contagious. 
Feed Carefully:
Never feed cow's milk to kittens. If they are very young, you may need to bottle-feed them kitten formula. You can also really informative videos here: http://www.kittenlady.org/videos
Maintain Hygiene:
Keep the kittens clean and dry, and ensure their bedding is clean and fresh.
Monitor Their Condition:
Regularly check the kittens for any signs of illness or distress, and seek veterinary care if needed.
