We are happy to announce the arrival of the TLC Kitten Nursery. This nursery will be supporting the Montgomery County Animal Shelter in their efforts to achieve a No Kill community by removing bottle feeder kittens from the shelter and providing around the clock care for these babies. VOLUNTEERS We are looking for volunteer bottle feeders willing to help 3 hours per week from June 1st to November 1st at the TLC clinic to staff the nursery. All shifts available! We will be open 21 hours a day 7 days a week. Feeders will be weighing kittens, feeding, weighing and then stimulating. If you like to bottle feed but cannot be available 24/7 to bottle feed on your own, this is the volunteer op for you! The nursery can handle up to 12 litters at a time.
The kitten nursery is considered a medical unit at Texas Litter Control. The position is very serious as no shows mean kittens do not get fed. This causes serious complications for these babies including death. These positions are for SERIOUS VOLUNTEERS ONLY. While the nursery is fun and rewarding, it is a medical unit and we are there to keep these babies alive. The position does not include cuddling and playing with kittens. We have to feed multiple litters and tend to their medical needs in order to keep them alive. If you are wanting to volunteer to play with kittens, please through our website at one of our adoption locations.
PLEASE REMEMBER...FOUND NURSING KITTENS SHOULD NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY FROM THEIR MOTHER!!! MOM WILL COME BACK!!! ONCE KITTENS ARE WEANED, MOMS SHOULD BE TRAPPED/NEUTERED/RETURNED AND KITTENS CAN THEN BE TAMED FOR ADOPTION PROGRAMS. We will not be taking kittens from the public. Kittens will be pulled from the Montgomery County Animal Shelter only. Space is limited. This is a pilot program.4 More opportunities with Texas Litter Control
