Kitten cuteness, just for fun!
These babies aren't ready for adoption yet, but they sure are having a blast in foster!

We're in the thick of kitten season, so now is a good time to remind folks that young kittens need their moms!

If you find a kitten (or a litter of kittens) outdoors, what do you do? Help us help them!

In a nutshell, a young kitten's best chance of survival is with their mom. If you find kittens, your first step is to observe. Are the kittens injured or critically sick or do they appear healthy?

If they are sick or injured, please reach out to your local shelter (we are a resource for you in Mason County, WA) for guidance, or take to a vet or emergency clinic for urgent care.

If the babies are healthy, keep an eye out for mom. The mom will leave the babies while she's out and about, so please don't assume that the kittens have no mom just because you don't see her. She might be hiding if she knows you're nearby.

If no mom appears after several hours, contact us for guidance. It might be helpful to place a ring of flour around the kittens to see if mom's footprints later appear.

Take a look at this chart to gauge their age.
We know it's hard to leave kittens outside where you found them, but if the kittens are still nursing from mom, and mom is still around to provide care, that's their best situation for now.

You can still help!
If you find young kittens who are still nursing, you can support mom and babies by making sure they have a safe shelter and access to food and water.

If you expect to need support from HSMC once the kittens are weaned, please submit a surrender form while the kittens are young so we can plan accordingly and offer guidance.

As the kittens get older, they'll begin showing an interest in canned food. This is a great opportunity to get them used to humans and show them we care!

Once the babies are no longer nursing, we can now intervene to provide their care.

*Please note that we respond to requests as quickly as possible. Due to the high demand for our services and the volume of animals in need here in Mason County, we prioritize surrenders from local residents first.​

Thank you for having a heart for animals. It takes all of us working together to make the biggest impact for these vulnerable pets.

👀 We know you love DNA craziness as much as we do. How's this for some interesting news!?!

❓❓❓ Non-littermate siblings ❓❓❓

1️⃣ In January, Jack and his littermates, along with two senior dogs, came into our care when their owner was incarcerated. The puppies were extremely sick with parvovirus and we didn't know if they'd make it. With round-the-clock care by our team and the puppies' incredible fosters, plus a lot of luck, the babies survived and are thriving! All have been adopted into wonderful homes.

We shared a social media post asking for guesses on Jack's breed, and we got all sorts of responses, including Pit Bull, Labrador Retriever, Boxer, Husky, Jack Russell Terrier, German Shepherd, and even Chihuahua!

Check out his results. Did you guess correctly?

2️⃣ Fast forward to April. A litter of puppies was found abandoned on the side of the road in a plastic storage bin and brought to HSMC.

The same person who fostered Jack also fostered this litter, and she noticed a lot of similarities between the two. Could they possibly be related??? She sent in Wiley's DNA to find out.

The answer is YES!

They are very closely related and likely share a parent.

👉 While this is interesting data, it also highlights a challenge.
Through our Last Litter program, we accept puppies into our care and mom is spayed and returned home, thereby ending the cycle of continued litters. We also offer services for the dad, if the father is known.

Since these puppies were either seized or found abandoned, their parents are unknown, and we were not able to offer spay/neuter services for those parents. Thus, the cycle sadly continues.

🐾 These shared DNA results remind us how important our role is. With your support, we will continue to rescue abandoned animals while working hard to offer assistance to pet owners.

We believe that affordable spay/neuter services is one of the best ways we can have an impact on the well-being of our community's pets, and we are committed to growing our availability for these services.

Your gift of any amount is appreciated.

💗 HAPPY TAILS: Check out this wonderful update for Orson, now Bear. We remember this scared little kitten and are overjoyed to see him absolutely thriving in his forever home! Here's what his people tell us...

"We adopted Orson (now renamed Bear) in October. Since coming home with us, he has blossomed into the sweetest, goofiest guy! He absolutely adores his big sister Freya, who has helped him gain confidence and express his quirky personality. His favorite activities include making biscuits, putting his toys in his water bowl, and watching birds. Our family thanks you all for your hard work!"

Curious how our senior dog mom and babies are doing? We're happy to report that the little potatoes are growing strong!

They really did look like potatoes when they were younger and have been aptly named Russet, Yukon and Yamy!

Mom has become best buds with the resident dog in her foster home. They each take turns taking care of the puppies and enjoy spending their days together. It's the cutest thing!
