BIRD FLU: Keep cats safe! Cats are very susceptible to H5N1, also known as bird or avian flu, but at this time the overall risk for exposure and infection is believed to be low. The virus has ravaged poultry farms, leading to the mass killing of over 150 million birds. Now, it's been detected in dairy cows, cats—even humans.

Signs of H5N1 infection in cats:
⛔ Respiratory problems like coughing, sneezing, nasal discharge, trouble breathing
⛔ Lethargy
⛔ Neurological disorders, such as disorientation or trouble walking
⛔ Sudden onset of severe disease or death without prior signs of illness or injury

Kitten season is almost here! From March through November, thousands of kittens are born in the Treasure Valley. During this time, it's common to find litters of kittens, mama cats, or pregnant cats in need of help. Our foster program cares for hundreds of kittens each year, providing them with the care they need before finding them loving homes.

If you come across kittens, your first instinct may be to pick them up and bring them inside. While well-intended, this can sometimes do more harm than good. Many well-meaning animal lovers unintentionally orphan kittens by removing them from their mothers, who may simply be out hunting.

Every situation is different, so please read the information below to determine the best course of action. For more details, visit our website by clicking the link below or call us at (208) 343-7177 for guidance.
