Increasing Kitten Survival Rates Through the Power of Education

The National Kitten Coalition (NKC) is dedicated to increasing the survival rate of kittens worldwide. We accomplish our mission by developing and sharing many free educational resources and learning opportunities that enable animal shelters, rescue organizations, the veterinary community, fosters and individuals to provide the best kitten care possible. We encourage collaboration to improve kitten care.

About the Kitten Resource Library

The National Kitten Coalition thanks you for your interest in learning how to best care for kittens. We share what we have learned from decades of our team’s combined, extensive and diverse experiences in caring for kittens (from birth to one year) and queens (pregnant and nursing). In addition, we provide our downloadable resources as well as valuable information from various organizations, veterinarians and other experts to give you the information you need to give kittens the best start possible.

Kitten Care Topics

The National Kitten Coalition provides detailed information on important topics that apply to all kittens as well as detailed information specifically on bottle babies, weaning and weaned kittens and pregnant and nursing queens.
