Did you know that kitten season continues through the “dog days” of summer? In fact, as long as the weather is warm, they keep on coming! Valley Humane Society frequently receives calls from community members who have found kittens in their yard. Though it goes against your first instincts, the best course of action is to wait a while and see if the mother cat is around. Mother cats often leave their young to find food, scout a safer location, or simply take a mom-break while hiding nearby.

Share our catchy video to help spread the word, and read more about community cats (sometimes called ferals) for information on what to do once mom returns. It’s one more way you can help #ShareTheCare to increase lifesaving outcomes for animals in our community. 

The relationship between pets and people has immeasurable value on our emotional and physical health. Through Canine Comfort Pet Therapy, volunteers team up with their dogs to improve the lives of others throughout our community.

Do you and your dog have what it takes to be a Canine Comfort volunteer team? Valley Humane is seeking new volunteers to join our program while sharing the unconditional love that pets offer and to help create opportunities for people to experience the love of a pet. Visits take place in the Tri-Valley area - schools, senior facilities and libraries.

Registration for the orientation is required. Orientation: October 5, 5 to 6:30 pm | Evaluations: October 9
