(LOKR) was established to provide care for orphaned kittens under six weeks of age. We specialize in bottle-feeding kittens from newborn to weaning. We believe that no kitten should be euthanized because no one can/will care for him. We accept kittens rescued from feral cats, found by caring people, or too young for shelters and other rescues to care for. Our fosters are based in the Louisville ar

ea and work from their homes. Contact us to make an appointment, or keep an eye out in our Events section for opportunities to see the kittens!

Raising four kittens requires a considerable amount of kitten formula to ensure their proper nourishment and growth. Each kitten typically consumes about 2-4 ounces of formula per day, depending on their age and individual needs. If you are able, we kindly invite you to consider donating some kitten formula to help provide these precious little ones with the nutrition they need to thrive. Your support will make a significant difference in their lives. Thank you for your generosity and care! 💙 How You Can Support the Kittens 💙 Check out the link: https://sleekbio.com/orphankittens 1️⃣ Donate: Your monetary donation or from the wishlists helps provide essential bathing supplies, including kitten-friendly shampoo, towels, and grooming tools. Every contribution helps us ensure that our foster kittens receive the care they need. 2️⃣ Spread the Word: Share this post and help raise awareness about the importance of regular baths for kittens. Together, we can educate others about the loving care these little ones require. 3️⃣ Become a Foster: If you have a nurturing heart and a safe space, consider becoming a foster parent. You can play a crucial role in providing these kittens with the love, care, and yes, even the occasional bath they need to thrive. 4️⃣ Volunteer: Not able to foster? No worries! We have various volunteer opportunities available that you can do from the comfort of your home. From managing our social media accounts to assisting with application processing, your help makes a significant impact on the lives of our kittens. #LOKRKittenShower #PawsUpForLOKR #kittensofinstagram #kittensoftheworld #KittenRescue #AdoptDontShop #FosterKittens #RescueCats #KittenLove #HelpAKitten #KittenAdoption #SupportAnimalRescue #KittenFostering #CatLoversUnite #LOKRVolunteersRock
