Spring marks the beginning of "kitten season," the time between late spring and early fall when an estimated 20 million kittens will be born without homes. In an effort to prepare for these arrivals, the Brevard Humane Society is inviting the community to participate in an “Itty Bitty Kitty Shower” from noon to 3 p.m. on Sunday, May 5th. 

“There are many ways in which the public can help,” said Michelle Deaton, Foster Care Coordinator for the Brevard Humane Society. “While one of our biggest needs is trained people willing to foster kittens, the majority of the supplies needed to save these kittens’ lives comes from the kitten shower as well.”

In the style of a traditional baby shower, guests are encouraged to bring gifts and donations to support the Brevard Humane Society’s Foster Care program. “Guests will enjoy light refreshments, music, games, a raffle, prizes, a bake sale, craft sale and of course, itty bitty kitties!” says Deaton. Some of the essential items requested include IAMS Healthy Kitten food (wet and dry), KMR (Kitten Milk Replacement), nursing bottles and warming discs. A complete list of items is available via the Humane Society’s Amazon Wishlist and gift cards to local area pet stores, Walmart, Target, etc. are also welcomed.
