Although the name “kitten season” sounds precious, the reality of the strain it puts on shelters isn’t so cute. When warmer months hit, female cats go into heat and litters upon litters of kittens are born. For newborn kittens found without a mother, they face a treacherous path.
The most vulnerable are neonatal kittens (newborns to 4 weeks of age), otherwise known as “bottle babies”. Kittens this old cannot fend for themselves, necessitating round-the-clock care from kind and giving humans. Care that includes bottle feeding every two to three hours and helping the babies with what their mother would typically do, including stimulating them to urinate and defecate, keeping them warm and clean, and teaching them to wean onto solid food once they reach a certain age.
At Animal Protection Society of Durham, this is where foster volunteers come in. Without their assistance, shelters around the country like ours are overwhelmed with tiny felines that cannot survive on their own. APS of Durham counts on our foster volunteers to be the safe, warm homes that this abundance of “bottle babies” needs. Bring a willing heart and APS of Durham can give you all the supplies and training necessary for success.
APS of Durham foster volunteers find the situation to be very rewarding. One kitten foster mom said, “I’ve enjoyed seeing these tiny kittens blossom into happy, healthy little beings who move on to wonderful homes that love and adore them. You know you’ve done right in the world and feel good. Then you get to start over with a new kitten or 2 or 3! If you’ve ever thought about fostering, don’t hesitate any longer, it really is a great opportunity to help kittens AND make your heart swell.”
For those who can’t foster at this time, there are so many other ways you can help APS of Durham during Kitten Season. You can volunteer in the shelter to help keep cats and kittens healthy and happy. Donations of goods to support fosters are also incredibly important. Simply head to the How You Can Help section of the APS website to find the wish list with much-needed items specifically for kitten season, including essentials like replacement milk formula and heating pads to keep bottle babies warm. Monetary support is always appreciated and can go directly where it is needed most – in the Kittenfoster program. Lastly, if you’re looking to adopt, there’s no better time than kitten season to adopt from APS because you’re giving more cats and kittens a chance.
APS of Durham is asking for Durhamites to stand up and sign up as a foster to the many “bottle baby” kittens that will need our care this summer. Fostering the littlest of the kittens makes the biggest of impact.

Genesis is one of the world’s biggest selling and most successful bands of all time. They have sold an estimated 100 million albums and have played to sold-out stadiums and arenas all over the world for decades.
The evolution of Genesis is unique, their sound developed and progressed throughout their career and with multiple line-up alterations in the early years, the classic line-up of Tony Banks, Phil Collins, and Mike Rutherford took shape in 1976.
‘And Then There Were Three’ (1978) was the first album the band released as a three-piece and spawned the single ‘Follow You Follow Me’ which was their first UK top ten and US top 30 single and proved to be the start of huge commercial global success. The albums ‘Duke’ (1980), ‘Abacab’ (1981), ‘Genesis’ (1983), ‘Invisible Touch’ (1986) and ‘We Can’t Dance’ (1991) followed for the trio, alongside almost constant global stadium tours cementing the band as one of the most successful of all time.
Tony, Phil and Mike reunited again as a band in 2007 after almost 10 years for the Turn It On Again Tour which went on to be one of the biggest grossing tours on the year playing sold-out stadiums around the world.
2021 will see Genesis tour for the first time in 14 years, in North America, the UK, and Ireland.

Meet Cutie Pie!
Cutie Pie lives up to his name as a cute Guinea Pig! Did you know that Guinea pigs were first domesticated in 5,000 B.C.? And they’re still great pets today. Guinea pigs don’t sleep a lot and when they’re awake they like to talk. You’ll notice Cutie Pie is a social little guy, and he, like others, produces six main vocalizations: chutts, squeaks, whines, whistles, purrs and chirps. Each vocalization conveys a different meaning, so in essence, he’s talking to you, his new friend. Guinea pigs are typically considered gregarious, outgoing animals. If you’ve never had a Guinea Pig before, now is the time to take Cutie Pie home with you today!
Cutie Pie’s Adoption Fee has been waived so we can find him a new home quickly. This amazing guy is so ready for his new home. Will it be with you? Come adopt Cutie Pie today and fill your home with love.“

For the most part, I avoid other dogs because I’m mostly into my people. I am best with kids that are 8 years or older. This is my third round of lodging at the shelter, at no fault of my own. My first adopters had to move and couldn’t take me with them; my second adopter had a job change that took up all her time, sadly. I’ve been here much of the time since January. I’m getting to know the volunteers extremely well! But I’d rather spend time getting to know my new family. I really am full of joy! Need a little joy in your life? Then I’m the girl for you. Please come visit me today!”

We are so excited to feature ANDRE, our super curious, active young fella waiting for his next wonderful home. Andre has been with us at the shelter since April 21st. We think he is so super awesome, would make a fun hiking and adventure pal. He’s an energetic guy, slightly excitable & selective around other dogs and needs a slow introduction to a dog that has polite, gentle manners. He is very ready to find his new home.
“I’ve been told that I’m a very sweet 49-pound, two-year-old boy. While I agree with that, I can on occasion be a bit particular about some other canines I meet. That might be why I’ve been living at APS since April 21st. I really do get along with many dogs, but most appreciate those that are gentle and have polite manners, with a slow and careful introduction. Like many people, I don’t appreciate being jumped on! If you have another dog at home, let’s arrange a gentle meet and greet to see how we hit it off. I like to think that I’m a polite guy. However, I’m not keen on living with a cat – sorry. Being so active and having a love for adventure makes staying at APS this long a bit tough for me. If you’re slightly inclined to meet me, please come on over and let’s get acquainted. I’m hoping you’ll fall in love with my brilliant young dog energy & curiosity. If you want to go on a great adventure, then I’m your guy! Let’s go hiking and hang out on the Eno, splash around in the water and search for bugs to pounce on – so fun! I’m super playful, curious and a good walker. Even though I get some really good walks while at the shelter and fun time in the play yard, I really want and need more. Let’s see what kind of fun we can have together. I’m ready! Are you?”

We are so excited to feature LADY SHORTCAKE, our awesome, amazing lady waiting for her next wonderful home. Lady Shortcake is a young, adult female dog with a good amount of wonderful energy that has been with us at the shelter up for adoption since May 9th. She’s an energetic gal, slightly excitable around other dogs but very friendly, responds well to treat-training and eager to learn better manners. She is very ready to find her new home.
“Just like Eliza Doolittle, I’m working hard on becoming a proper lady. For now at least, I would prefer to be your one-and-only canine companion. I get a bit excitable around other dogs, but hey – I’m working on it. If that sounds like something you can commit to, let’s talk. I’m still young, a bit over one year old and a muscular 55 pounds. I’m super friendly and really motivated to learn. I just need a good teacher. As the Lady Doolittle put it many years ago, “I don’t want no gold or no diamonds! I’m a good girl, I am!” I’m just looking for a home where I can be me.”

Pre-Adoption Puppy Consult Service: We are basically matchmakers. We get the right dog paired with the right human. This is based on an in person or Zoom call questionnaire where we get to know the family and make suggestions on the breeds of dogs that will fit their lifestyle. Once we have picked the breed or rescue, we do the research and find the dog for them.
Expecting Mothers Canine Preparation Classes: According to the American Veterinary Medical Association, nearly 70% of all dog bites in the U.S. are toddlers and in the face and shoulder areas. We have a program that prepares the dog for the baby BEFORE the baby is born and also helps mom not to forget that she has a dog.
We are so excited to feature BENJI, our awesome, active cuddle bug, this week. Benji is a young, adult male dog with a good amount of wonderful energy that has been with us at the shelter up for adoption since April 28th. He’s a sweet, slightly sensitive guy that gets along well with other respectful dogs. He’s had a couple of sleepovers with APS volunteers and alumni canines but is very ready to find his new home.
“I’m a fun-loving guy, just a tad over one year old, looking for someone to learn new things with. I’d prefer to have jobs or projects to engage in. A couple of things that I really love to do every day is to chase balls and play in the pool at the shelter. I’ve had lots of time to do that, since I’ve been there since April 28th. It’s fun and all, but I’d rather learn new things and have new experiences with you at your home. I really do need someone who will have time and interest to work with me. I had an outing recently with one of the kind volunteers at APS of Durham and hung out with their dogs at their home. I heard them tell someone that I was a great guest. That really made me happy! She also said that I’m so well behaved, incredibly attentive, listens well and is a sweet and affectionate boy. If I could, I’d be blushing about now. But my real hope is that you’ll think the same when you meet me, take me home and we’ll have a great life together. That would make me the happiest boy in the world!”
