PHOTOS: Kitten season arrives at Athens Area Humane Society
As the weather gets warmer each spring, adult cats enter their breeding cycle. Animal shelters and services are then inundated with litters of homeless kittens during this kitten season.
The Athens Area Humane Society places kittens in foster homes and cares for felines until they are adopted. Adoptable pets, information on becoming a foster and tickets for their annual kitten shower, a baby shower-style event, are available at their website. 1 of 37
