Credit: FOX via Pexels.com Kitten season is still in full swing, and Lee County Domestic Animal Services is asking those bringing kittens to the shelter to wait until they’re 8 weeks old. According to animal services, well-meaning people sometimes find kittens outside and attempt to help by bringing them to shelters. However, they often don’t realize that most kittens brought to shelters, especially those less than 8 weeks old, will need to be bottle-fed to survive. To help address the problem of underage kittens being brought into the shelter, animal services encourage citizens to “wait until 8.” At 8 weeks of age, kittens can eat independently and care for themselves. Animal Services also needs help fostering underage kittens until they are big enough for adoption. Animal Services currently has a shelter full of adorable adult cats and kittens ready for their homes. Adoption fees are waived through Sept. 30 with an approved application.
