What is kitten season?

In most states, kitten season begins around spring and lasts through early winter. Cats start reproducing and continue to have several litters during this time period. During this time, Athens-Clarke County Animal Services experiences a massive influx of intakes of kittens and mother cats. Underage kittens without their mothers are at high-risk being brought into shelters due to the vulnerability of their health.
