If any Montgomery Townshipresidents have been consideringadopting a kitten recently andneed a nudge in the right direc-tion, springtime is the best seasonto help local animal shelters dueto an expected influx of aban-doned kittens every April, Mayand June.

Stephanie Carey, Hopewell

Township health officer, ex-plained that most cats, like manyanimals, have their litters in thespring since offspring are morelikely to survive in the fair weath-er. However, Carey advises resi-dents not to assume too hastilythat a litter of kittens has beenabandoned just because they hap-pen to be alone at first sight.

Sometimes people will auto-matically think that a litter of kit-tens has been abandoned becausethey are alone, but if the motheris an outdoor cat and hunts, shemay hide them because she is outfetching the food, Carey said.

Animal control prefers thatresidents confirm that there areproblem cats in the neighborhoodwho have, in fact, abandoned thekittens so they can work to getthem adopted. Carey explainedthat fostering those tiny fluff-balls, or infant kittens, who can-not even open their eyes yet isevery bit as demanding as caring

for an infant child, and the shel-ter prefers to let the mother cat dothat part of the nursing if she isavailable. Reflecting on beingwoken up at 2 a.m. to feed new-born kittens a miniscule bottle ofmilk, Carey explains that it is bet-ter for the kittens and shelter vol-unteers to keep the cat familiestogether as effectively as possible.

Another animal the shelter re-ceives a large number of calls forin the spring is deer.

People constantly call to re-

port an abandoned fawn, but actu-ally the mother oftentimes pur-posely stays away from her youngso as not to draw predators near,Carey said. Unless you haveknowledge that the mother did, in

fact, suffer a terrible fate, do notassume the fawn has been aban-doned.

The best advice for residentsthis spring is summed up by youdo not want to handle any wildlifeimmediately or assume that ithas been abandoned, Carey said.

Since Montgomery providesanimal control services forHopewell Borough and Penning-ton Borough as well, there are kit-tens coming from those munici-palities that will be in need of

adoption. Careys guidelines fordetermining whether a house-hold is ready for a kitten includeconsidering who else is there, in-cluding dogs, young children orother cats. She says a kitten maybe better introduced to a housethat already has cats and that it isimportant to make sure the catgets along with newcomers andgive each animal a chance to getused to one another.

When asked about the range ofanimals housed at shelter, Careysaid that typically one can expectto see many cats, perhaps a dog,guinea pigs and rabbits, but thestrangest animal rescued by theshelter so far has been an ostrich.

The Montgomery TownshipAnimal Shelter usually has catadoption days every Saturdayfrom 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. or weekdaysby appointment. The shelter is lo-cated behind the MunicipalBuilding at 2261 Route 206. Theadoption fee of $75 includes spayor neuter and a rabies vaccina-tion.
