LOS ANGELES (CNS) - In an effort to prevent the public from accidentally separating stray kittens from their mothers and bringing them into shelters, county officials have joined with an animal welfare group to help people determine whether their well-intentioned efforts might do more harm than good.
The “Got Kittens campaign organized by Los Angeles County Animal Care and Control in collaboration with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals advises people to first determine whether the kitten is in need. Kittens who are quiet and appear healthy and clean are likely cared for by a mother who may be hiding or hunting.
