Although the name “kitten season” sounds precious, the reality of the strain it puts on shelters isn’t so cute. When warmer months hit, female cats go into heat and litters upon litters of kittens are born. For newborn kittens found without a mother, they face a treacherous path.
The most vulnerable are neonatal kittens (newborns to 4 weeks of age), otherwise known as “bottle babies”. Kittens this old cannot fend for themselves, necessitating round-the-clock care from kind and giving humans. Care that includes bottle feeding every two to three hours and helping the babies with what their mother would typically do, including stimulating them to urinate and defecate, keeping them warm and clean, and teaching them to wean onto solid food once they reach a certain age.
At Animal Protection Society of Durham, this is where foster volunteers come in. Without their assistance, shelters around the country like ours are overwhelmed with tiny felines that cannot survive on their own. APS of Durham counts on our foster volunteers to be the safe, warm homes that this abundance of “bottle babies” needs. Bring a willing heart and APS of Durham can give you all the supplies and training necessary for success.
APS of Durham foster volunteers find the situation to be very rewarding. One kitten foster mom said, “I’ve enjoyed seeing these tiny kittens blossom into happy, healthy little beings who move on to wonderful homes that love and adore them. You know you’ve done right in the world and feel good. Then you get to start over with a new kitten or 2 or 3! If you’ve ever thought about fostering, don’t hesitate any longer, it really is a great opportunity to help kittens AND make your heart swell.”
For those who can’t foster at this time, there are so many other ways you can help APS of Durham during Kitten Season. You can volunteer in the shelter to help keep cats and kittens healthy and happy. Donations of goods to support fosters are also incredibly important. Simply head to the How You Can Help section of the APS website to find the wish list with much-needed items specifically for kitten season, including essentials like replacement milk formula and heating pads to keep bottle babies warm. Monetary support is always appreciated and can go directly where it is needed most – in the Kittenfoster program. Lastly, if you’re looking to adopt, there’s no better time than kitten season to adopt from APS because you’re giving more cats and kittens a chance.
APS of Durham is asking for Durhamites to stand up and sign up as a foster to the many “bottle baby” kittens that will need our care this summer. Fostering the littlest of the kittens makes the biggest of impact.

Genesis is one of the world’s biggest selling and most successful bands of all time. They have sold an estimated 100 million albums and have played to sold-out stadiums and arenas all over the world for decades.
The evolution of Genesis is unique, their sound developed and progressed throughout their career and with multiple line-up alterations in the early years, the classic line-up of Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford took shape in 1976.
‘And Then There Were Three’ (1978) was the first album the band released as a three-piece and spawned the single ‘Follow You Follow Me’ which was their first UK top ten and US top 30 single and proved to be the start of huge commercial global success. The albums ‘Duke’ (1980), ‘Abacab’ (1981), ‘Genesis’ (1983), ‘Invisible Touch’ (1986) and ‘We Can’t Dance’ (1991) followed for the trio, alongside almost constant global stadium tours cementing the band as one of the most successful of all time.
Tony, Phil and Mike reunited again as a band in 2007 after almost 10 years for the Turn It On Again Tour which went on to be one of the biggest grossing tours on the year playing sold-out stadiums around the world.
2021 will see Genesis tour for the first time in 14 years, in North America, the UK, and Ireland.

Meet Cutie Pie!
Cutie Pie lives up to his name as a cute Guinea Pig! Did you know that Guinea pigs were first domesticated in 5,000 B.C.? And they’re still great pets today. Guinea pigs don’t sleep a lot and when they’re awake they like to talk. You’ll notice Cutie Pie is a social little guy, and he, like others, produces six main vocalizations: chutts, squeaks, whines, whistles, purrs and chirps. Each vocalization conveys a different meaning, so in essence, he’s talking to you, his new friend. Guinea pigs are typically considered gregarious, outgoing animals. If you’ve never had a Guinea Pig before, now is the time to take Cutie Pie home with you today!
Cutie Pie’s Adoption Fee has been waived so we can find him a new home quickly. This amazing guy is so ready for his new home. Will it be with you? Come adopt Cutie Pie today and fill your home with love.“

Greetings, it’s me, Effie! I’m a sweet and loving cat who just can’t get enough of all the attention. As an attention-seeking feline, I absolutely adore being the center of the universe (you know, as all cats should be!). When I’m not busy plotting my next move to become the most popular pet in the room, you can find me lounging on the couch or curled up in a lap, soaking up all the snuggles and affection I can get. I may be a bit shy at first, but once I warm up to you, I’ll be your loyal and devoted companion, always ready to lend an ear (or a paw) whenever you need it. So if you’re looking for a furry friend who will keep you entertained and in stitches, look no further than this attention-seeking cat extraordinaire! How did I get here? Surrendered when a member of the family was allergic.
Hi there, I’m Doug, and I’m the sweetest pup you’ll ever meet! I love nothing more than cuddling up with my favorite humans and soaking up all the attention. My cross-eyed look may make me a bit goofy, but that just adds to my charm. I’m ready to shower you with all the love and affection I have to offer. If you’re looking for a loyal, snuggly companion, I’m your guy! Let’s create some unforgettable memories together. I currently weigh ~80 lbs but I need to gain some weight to look and feel my best.How did I get here? Transferred from Wake County Animal Center.
**I have a sophisticated medical history- please speak with an adoption specialist for details.**
