In recent years South County Cats has become rather well known for our kittens through word-of-mouth from our wonderful adopters, however it's important to emphasize that we do not breed cats... all of our cats and kittens are rescues, and many of our kittens were born to feral moms. Most importantly, whenever we take kittens we facilitate the spay of the mama cat and every cat in the house and the yard.  All of our kittens are spayed vaccinated  and microchipped before adoption…

Sometimes we get lucky and are able to catch or trap the mama cat before she has her babies, so we are able to raise the kittens in the safety of one of our wonderful foster homes, but all too often we only hear about the kittens after they've been born in the wild and taught to hide from and fear all humans.  Thanks to our wonderful supporters and volunteers, we have the resources required to find and recover those kittens, give them the care they need, and our foster volunteers “love the fear out of the kittens” providing the all-important socialization required for them to become adoptable.  

Depending on how old they are when they are captured, some kittens remain very shy and may never be completely tame, so we go to great lengths to find just the perfect adopters who will give these babies the space they need to adjust to their new homes and in their own time, become the loving companions they were destined to be. 

Below is an update we received from one of our recent adopters.  Marama and Windy had never met until they were adopted together. Marama was shy and Windy very outgoing. Turns out they are a perfect match!

One of the things our supporters love about our live CAToberfest event each year is the ability to visit with our fun and playful foster kittens!

Although we are not able to have an in-person event this year, we hope you will enjoy some videos of our foster kittens, including a couple stories to give you some insight into where these kittens come from.
