The winter weather appears to be behind us now, which means the flowers will start to bloom, the birds will start chirping, and at the Lakeshore Humane Society, they are about to be swamped with kittens. Director of Operations, Tina Nichols explains that they call Spring “Kitten Season”. “Springtime is when cats, in particular, get a little bit rambunctious and are out looking for some fun.” The Humane Society ends up getting swamped with the kittens that are a result of that fun.
They end up so swamped they don’t actually have enough room to house all of the kittens. This is a problem Nichols explains, that they have found a solution to. Nichols told us that they “partner with other rescues throughout the state that get low on cats.” They will then transfer the overflow of cats to those bigger cities, like Milwaukee.
They only started the transfer program 3 or 4 years ago, but it seems to be working to give these felines a chance at life. If you are looking to adopt a kitten or any other animal, check out the Lakeshore Humane Society website, www.LakeshoreHumane.com.
