Because tiny paws need big help.
Every spring and summer, Las Vegas is flooded with an overwhelming number of homeless kittens. We’re talking hundreds of itty bitty babies each week—from orphaned newborns to wobbly fluffballs learning how to eat. And that’s where you come in.
By joining The Itty Bitty Kitty Committee, you’ll give these fragile little lives a fighting chance by providing them with a temporary, loving home until they’re ready for adoption. We provide everything you need. You provide the snuggles, bottle skills, and cozy naps.
Whether you’re raising bottle babies or hosting a mama cat and her crew, fostering kittens is one of the cutest, most rewarding ways to save lives.
Our Kittens Need You!
Las Vegas is overflowing with tiny, vulnerable kittens who need a safe place to grow. In this video, we show you how simple—and rewarding—it is to become a kitten foster.
What Kind of Kittens Can You Foster?
We have kittens at all stages of development—so whether you’re a night owl, a work-from-home snuggler, or just looking to help on your schedule, we’ll help you find the right fit.
Bottle Babies (0–3 weeks)
Tiny, fragile, and adorable. These kittens need to be bottle-fed every 2–3 hours and kept warm. You’ll help them eat, stay clean, and grow strong. It’s a round-the-clock job—but one that saves the most vulnerable lives.
Gruel Kittens (3–5 weeks)
Part bottle, part big-kid food. Gruel kittens are transitioning from bottle feeding to soft food and need meals every few hours. It’s messy, it’s cute, and it’s where the personality starts to shine.
Independent Eaters (5+ weeks)
These fluffballs are eating on their own but still need some TLC before adoption. They’re playful, curious, and a great option if you’re new to fostering or can’t do frequent feedings.
Nursing Moms (Queens)
Want to help without waking up every 3 hours? Foster a mama cat and her litter! She does most of the work—you just provide a calm, safe place for her to care for her kittens.
Nursing moms are the hardest for us to find placement for, but we always recommend new kitten fosters start with nursing moms.
