Today, 18 sick cats and kittens were left at our side door.

We know many families are facing real challenges right now. Access to spay and neuter services can be limited, veterinary care is expensive, and situations can feel urgent and overwhelming.

Because of limited space and medical capacity, there are times when we must schedule intakes or ask community members to hold onto pets a bit longer while we prepare to bring them in safely. We also prioritize animals within our local jurisdiction so we can best serve our community.

Leaving animals without going through the intake process means we lose critical information about their history and health. That can slow treatment, increase stress for the animals, and delay recovery and adoption. Intake conversations and paperwork aren’t barriers — they help us provide faster, more complete care and explore resources when available.

If you’re struggling, please reach out to us first. A conversation helps us help you — and makes a real difference for the animals.

How you can help right now? The cats and kittens in our care today are sick and require intensive support. Warmth is critical, especially for fragile kittens.

Our primary need at this time is heating discs & incubators which can be purchased on our Amazon Wishlist.

We’re grateful to our staff who responded immediately and to our community for your continued compassion and partnership.

What is Kitten Season?

In the Northwest, kitten season is typically between April and October, but can continue throughout the year.

Every other day, we welcome 2-3 new kittens to the shelter. Just last Sunday, 12 new neonates and kittens arrived. With 134 kittens and cats in foster care, at the cat cafe, and at the shelter, your support is crucial.
Auburn Valley Humane Society provides shelter, food, medical care, fostering, and love to neonatal kittens, young kittens, and nursing mothers, enabling them to thrive and grow.
Your gift ensures our fosters have the supplies they need to nurture the kittens, allowing them to grow healthy and socialize them for new adoptive homes.
