Many shelters do not have the ability to care for underage kittens. You should always ask if the shelter has a foster or rescue partnership program to take the kittens until they are old enough for adoption. While many shelters have foster and rescue partnership programs, others may not have the ability to care for very young kittens. Remember that you are the advocate for the kitten you have found, so be sure to ask whatever questions you may have to ensure that your expectations about the kitten’s outcome are met.
