Virtual Kitten Shower

We're expecting! The pitter patter of little kitten toes, to be exact!!

To help prepare for kitten season – the time of year when pregnant/nursing cats and orphaned kittens flood animal shelters across the nation – the Humane Society of Harford County (HSHC) is throwing a Virtual Kitten Shower on Saturday, March 12, 2022 from 10:00-11:00 AM.

Schedule of Events

We’ll kick off the hour with a Meow-Mosa Mocktail toast.

Then we’ll do a bottle feeding demonstration, show some adorable kittens (if we have any), talk about the supplies you need to care for neonatal kittens, play games, describe our life-saving foster program and more!

3. Consider becoming a foster parent:

  • it’s a short-term commitment
  • it’s incredibly cute
  • the shelter will help with supplies
  • it’s lifesaving for the kitten, but also great for your mental health
  • it helps to socialize the kittens and prepare them for life
  • it creates space at the shelter for other animals in need
  • it feels great to give back in this way!
