There's a kitten family at my house. What do I do?

If you've found a kitten or litter of kittens in your community, it's natural to feel concerned.

If any kitten appears sick, injured or in immediate danger, seek veterinary advice. It is important that you keep safe and ensure you don't get hurt while handling them.

Otherwise, use our quick kitten-family decision tree before deciding what to do next.
