Right now, 71 kittens—some as young as 10 weeks old—are receiving critical care at the ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center (BRC) in North Carolina.
When an animal shelter in North Carolina learned that despite their best efforts, staff members had contracted COVID-19, the shelter had to close to the public and drastically reduce their number of staff in the building immediately—moving out almost all of the animals in their care right away. They reached out for our help to provide care for these 70+ kittens so that they could comply with regulatory advisories and keep their team safe. |
The BRC is an ASPCA program that works to behaviorally treat extremely fearful dogs. Because the facility is not normally set up for the care of cats,
the team had to quickly transform a section specifically for these kittens to quarantine for the recommended two-week period.
Our team will provide medical care, essential enrichment and socialization that is so important for kittens of this age. While these tiny kittens are in our care, we continue to monitor the tropical storms forming in the Atlantic and wild fires that are raging in the West—readying ourselves to answer calls for assistance. |
| The ASPCA continues to be a lifeline for animal welfare groups and pet owners across the country as COVID-19 persists. Our immediate response to animals in need like these 70+ kittens is only made possible by the generosity of supporters like you.
Please give today to help more animals get the critical care they need. |
