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.
