This detailed guide provides the basic steps for starting a kitten-focused rescue organization that works collaboratively with shelters to save kittens who would otherwise be euthanized upon intake or soon thereafter and informs shelters wishing to save these kittens about what to expect from a partner organization in the effort.
However, this guide is primarily geared toward individuals interested in establishing or refocusing a rescue that wishes to work with a partner shelter to save kittens. The guide is the result of a collaboration among The Newborn Kitten Rescue, The National Kitten Coalition and Humane World for Animals.
