Every year we have a kitten season, which runs from March to as late as November depending on weather. The Amador County Animal Shelter houses and takes care of as many kittens as space permits, and many people in our community at animal control, the veterinary clinics, the humane society, and shelter volunteers work very hard to try to give these previous lives a chance to be adopted and find a forever family. Even with all of us banding together and working as a team, using both the county and humane society financial resources, the sad truth is many kittens will have their tiny lives cut short due to being separated from their mother too early, exposure to diseases from other cats and kittens, being exposed to the elements and having their core body temperature drop too low before being found, etc. It is not desirable or natural for infants of any species to be separated from their mothers and grow up in small cages! This needless suffering can be ended if we just spay and neuter our pets, and ideally widen the net if we can to include strays and ferals on our properties. A-PAL has financial aid programs to help low income cat owners, and also has certificates to offset the surgery cost of spay/neuters for both dogs and cats that belong to any Amador County resident.
