Tune in and find your new best friend!

He is a two-year-old sweetheart who’s house-trained, dog-friendly, and totally apartment-approved.

Found Kittens in Alachua County? Here’s What to Do: Before taking action, check if the kittens are injured or critically ill. ✅ If yes, call an animal rescue immediately. ❌ If no, try to estimate their age AND look for a mother cat or a nest nearby. ⌚ For kittens 0–6 weeks old: If you find a nest or see mom nearby, leave the kittens where they are. A kitten's best chance of survival is with their mother. You can help by providing mom with food, water, and shelter. Contact a TNR (trap-neuter-return) group to have her and the kittens fixed when they’re old enough. 👀 No mom or nest in sight? She may be out hunting or too scared to return while people are nearby. Watch from a distance for a few hours. Pro tip: Sprinkle flour in a ring around the nest and check later for paw prints—if you see them, mom came back! ⌚ For kittens 7+ weeks old and friendly: Use social media to help find them a home. These kittens are adoptable and will be safer in a home. For spay/neuter services, contact the Humane Society of North Central Florida or Operation Catnip. Signs a kitten may need human help: 🌡 Temperature – Are they cold to the touch? 🛁 Cleanliness – Are they dirty, crusty, or soiled? ⚖ Weight/Fullness – Do they look bony or have sunken bellies? 📣 Noise – Are they crying loudly and consistently? 😷 Sickness/Injury – Do they have discharge, wounds, or closed/crusted eyes? Still unsure?
