Listen Later

Not sure what to do when you stumble on a litter of kittens?

Every spring, well-meaning people rush to “rescue” kittens they stumble across who may not need saving.

In this episode, Amy breaks down what you need to know before stepping in—so you don’t accidentally do more harm than good.

BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING, YOU’LL DISCOVER:

  • How to assess if the kittens are healthy or in danger
  • Simple ways to tell if the mother cat is still caring for them
  • What signs indicate it’s time to intervene—and when to leave them alone

If you’ve ever found a litter and didn’t know what to do, this episode gives you the confidence to act responsibly and compassionately.

P.S. You may hear us refer to the show as Starlight Pet Talk during this episode. That was our previous name before we embraced the fur, mess, and mayhem. Same show, same mission—just a name that fits better now.
