The streets of Los Angeles are overrun with an adorable infestation – of hundreds of innocent baby kittens.
LA Animal services sent out a plea Friday, begging anyone who could adopt or foster a kitten to step up the plate now.
"This year kitten season has been nonstop," said LA Animal Services General Manager Brenda Barnette. "Typically we start to see a decrease in kitten births around this time of year. This is not the case this year as we see more and more kittens arrive each day."
Animal Services is asking anyone who can foster a kitten until they reach 8 weeks of age. After they reach 8 weeks, they can be spayed or neutered and adopted.
"By opening your home to an animal in need, you are preparing a pet for adoption into a home of his own as well as directly saving lives of animals in our crowded shelters. If you are available for a couple weeks or a month, please help some orphaned kittens get the chance they need for a happy life," Barnette said.
The staff will provide any training necessary for potential foster "parents." The kittens may need to be bottle fed, in case you didn’t think they could get any cuter.
Anyone willing to foster can apply online.
