Found orphaned kittens under 6 weeks old?

Avoid handling or taking them unless they’re in immediate danger. A kittens best chance at survival is with its mom and every effort should be made to reunite them. If the kittens are clean momma was taking care of them and she is likely looking for them. Often times momma will wait until no one is present to return to her kittens. Kittens should be placed back where they were found or near the area they came from and a ring of flour can be placed around them to help determine if momma comes back. Only move kittens if their mother doesn’t return after a few hours. Neonatal kittens should be kept warm with a heating pad and immediate feeding should be avoided.

Intake Policy

Effective February 1, 2025, Tiny Miracles Kitten Rescue (TMKR) will begin accepting intakes exclusively from local shelters. We will no longer be able to accept direct intakes from the public. Please direct all intake inquiries to your local animal control or animal shelter whom will contact us as needed. Local shelters have been emailed and mailed a copy of TMKR's intake policy.

 

As the only neonatal kitten rescue in the region serving multiple counties, this change will allow TMKR to better support our local community and shelters - ensuring that no kittens are left on the streets. Additionally, directing all intakes through the appropriate shelters will provide more accurate data on issues such as hoarding, neglect, and colony management across our counties.​​

INCORRECT FEEDING IS HARMFUL

IT IS BETTER TO WITHHOLD FEEDING THAN TO FEED A NEONATAL KITTEN IMPROPERLY 

​

DO NOT FEED COW'S MILK TO KITTENS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES

DO NOT FEED A COLD KITTEN

DO NOT BOTTLE FEED KITTENS ON THEIR BACK

​

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR NEONATAL KITTENS IS TO KEEP THEM WARM
