If you're caring for young kittens, you've probably dealt with sneezing, runny eyes, and congestion—classic signs of upper respiratory infections. The good news? New research is helping us better understand how to treat these common illnesses.
A study published in Mar 2025, looked at kittens between 1 and 12 weeks old with respiratory infections. Researchers compared two treatment approaches: one using both doxycycline and famciclovir, and another using doxycycline with a placebo. The findings offer valuable insights for anyone caring for kittens, especially in foster homes or multi-cat households. Want to know what worked best?

Why spaying and neutering before adoption matters! 💛

If a cat leaves a shelter intact, there is a 10-60% chance that their owners will not get them spayed or neutered. 🙀

Fixing before adoption (or by five months) boosts compliance up to 100%! Which means no new litters and less shelter overcrowding!

Cats can go into their first heat as young as four months! It is best to spay or neuter by five months, to prevent accidental litters. 👍

Purdue University College of Veterinary Medicine & Veterinary Hospital shared an excellent resource regarding estimating a kitten's age by just looking at their teeth.
(Published August 19th)

"Baby teeth appear by 2–3 weeks, start falling out around 14–16 weeks, and are fully replaced by adult teeth by about 6 months. They use this in Shelter Medicine to help determine if kittens are old enough for certain vaccines and now you can use this chart to impress your friends with your kitten-age guessing skills!"
