***PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT***

You see a kitten outside, no mom in site. What is the first thing you do? No! The answer is not Kitten Nap. Leave them be. Yes, you may monitor them from a distance, but trust mom is close by and more than likely monitoring you from a hidden distance.

Everyone wants to be a hero and thinks that the kittens need to be “rescued.” It is often a misconception that mom should be sitting on the kittens like eggs. Tom's only come around to get the Queen pregnant, then they leave. It is VERY rare that they will stick around. The mom is out hunting for food, finding better shelter, and keeping away predators.

When you kitten nap from the nest, not only will it panic mom, but also, someone now has to be able to commit to around the clock service to these littles. The service includes feeding, keeping warm, cleaning, burping, and stimulating bowel movements. This is not the type of time that you would volunteer while you are awake and not at work. You would have to consider all it would take as if you were in these shoes.

It is often thought that there is a secret society that has as nursery set up at every shelter to do exactly this, but the truth is most places do not have the ability to sustain this operation. Almost every time, it falls on the staff during the day and then some very committed and trained volunteers after the work day ends.

When you decide to pull kittens, no matter how old, and you just leave the mom out there living; you are assisting in her starting this process all over again. The best thing you can do is pull mom and babies, foster the babies, and fix, then return mom. Other wise babies will be born again in a couple of months!

“Remember: Mother knows best. You can not replace a mother cats’ instinctive care.”(Alleycat.org) Kittens have been born in the wild for centuries! Yes some times they need our help, but if there really was a hazard as big as folks make it out to be, then we would never have to worry about the overpopulation of colonies because the Litters wouldn't survive.
