As we speak, thousands of kittens are being born outdoors to unfixed cats. Rescuing these vulnerable feral-born kittens from outdoor dangers and adopting them into loving indoor homes is one of the goals of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR). First, though, these tiny tigers need dedicated foster volunteers to convince them that humans are a safe source of friendship, food, affection, and fun.

We invite you to sharpen your kitten season skills by learning how to transform the lives of "spicy" feral-born kittens through gentle socialization. Whether you are new to kitten taming or would just like a refresher in the best socialization techniques, check out our free "Taming Feral Kittens for Adoption" webinar on Wednesday, July 16!

How to Safely Remove Fleas from Kittens Under 8 Weeks

Tips:
• Pre-warm the bathroom by closing the door and running the shower
• Have fresh, clean bedding ready and waiting for bathed kittens
• Wash, rinse, and dry kittens one by one, as quickly as possible

Supplies:
• Flea comb or other very fine-toothed comb
• Mild dishwashing liquid (regular Dawn and Lemon Joy work well)
• Soft towels (such as dish towels) and wash cloths with no loops to catch on tiny claws
• Cup for mixing sudsy solution: ½ tsp. (2.5 ml) dishwashing liquid in 1 cup (250 ml) warm water (100°F/38°C)
• Blow-dryer (always on low setting)

Flea-Bathing Technique:
• Hold kitten gently by scruff (it'll help keep them still)
• Dip your fingers in the sudsy solution
• Make a soapy ring around the head/neck and tail/anus to prevent fleas from hiding in body cavities
• Part hair and work soap onto skin
• Soap up whole body and rinse right off
• To bathe head, comb out fleas and dip comb into sudsy water
• Don't get soap in their eyes, nose, or mouth!
• Soap solution kills fleas nearly on contact

Rinsing:
• Rinse kittens with warm water (100°F/38°C) without submerging into basin
• Towel-dry, then blow-dry on lowest setting, constantly moving dryer back and forth
• Place kittens in warm nest with fresh bedding

It's ! 💙🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛💛 A flea bath with mild dish soap (e.g., regular Dawn or Lemon Joy) is the safest, most effective way to kill fleas for kittens under 8 weeks old. A solution of 2.5 ml of soap to 250 ml of water is strong enough to kill fleas and rinses away easily. Fleas may survive the first bath by hiding in a kitten's nose or other cavities, so continue to check for fleas and bathe again as needed. Kittens under 8 weeks can't receive topical flea preventives.

Summer is here in New York City and Long Island, and long days and warm weather are once again fueling "kitten season," the months when unfixed cats are most likely to breed. Rescuing vulnerable feral-born kittens from outdoor dangers and adopting them into loving indoor homes is one of the goals of Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), and these tiny tigers need dedicated foster volunteers to convince them that humans are a safe source of friendship, food, affection, and fun.

Bideawee's Feral Cat Initiative invites you to sharpen your kitten season skills by learning how to transform these precious lives. Whether you are new to kitten taming or would just like a refresher in the best socialization techniques, we hope you will attend our free Taming Feral Kittens for Adoption webinar on Wednesday, July 16!

Please join us on July 16, and spread the word to friends who also may want to volunteer to help kittens this year!
