Can I Keep A Kitten I Found. When you discover kittens outdoors, it can be tempting to scoop them up and bring them indoors. Watch my educational video about the casa method and what to do if you find a kitten: For decades, the animal welfare field’s standard advice to anyone who found a seemingly homeless cat was to take the cat to their local animal. If you find a litter of kittens that appear to be younger than 8 weeks old and healthy, it’s usually best to leave them alone and allow their mother to care for them. However, it is important to know that this is almost never in a kitten’s best interest. Please call first to ensure they are open and can accept the kittens. If the kittens appear ill or injured, they should be brought to your local shelter or rescue or a veterinary clinic as soon as possible.

When the kittens are weaned, you can foster/adopt or return them outside after spaying and neutering. Shelters & rescues are welcome to freely use with proper credit. What you choose to do with the kittens depends on a number of factors, including how friendly or frightened they appear, and the age at which you find them. That may be surprising, but research has found that around 75% of lost cats find their way home on their own, but less than 2% of cats without microchips are reclaimed from a shelter.
