- **Event Name**: Kitten Season Kickstart Open House
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 23 May, 2026 at 12:00 pm – Sat, 23 May, 2026 at 04:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: ❤ RSVP at https://givebutter.com/kickstart2026

Each spring, kitten season arrives whether we’re ready or not.

In Western North Carolina, that means newborn litters only days old, underweight kittens struggling to survive, and fragile lives that depend on immediate, around-the-clock care. For neonatal kittens, preparation isn’t helpful — it’s lifesaving.

Kitten Season Kickstart is our community open house and final push before peak season hits.

During this drop-in event, you’ll:

✅ See behind the scenes of our nursery and medical spaces
✅ Learn what kitten season actually looks like on the ground
✅ Understand what “around-the-clock care” truly requires
✅ Meet the team — staff, fosters, and volunteers — who make survival possible
✅ Discover how you can be part of the solution

Throughout the afternoon, we’ll share short, repeatable talks and guided mini-tours so you can arrive at any time and still experience the full picture.

We are currently working to ensure we enter peak season fully prepared — with formula stocked, medical funds secured, and foster homes ready when the next fragile litter arrives.

If you’ve ever wondered what it really takes to save neonatal kittens…
If you’ve thought about fostering, volunteering, or becoming a monthly supporter…
If you believe preparation matters…

This is your moment to step inside and see the difference readiness makes.

Because kitten season doesn’t wait. And together, we can be ready.
