Tiny Kittens Need You!

In 2023, Dane County Humane Society admitted 229 kittens younger than seven weeks; 73 of them were orphans unable to survive on their own. These neonatal kittens need specialized and near-constant care.

~$804/year: milk replacement formula
~$1,200 each: incubators to keep them warm
~$350/year: specialized food once they’re weaned
priceless: lots of love and care from their foster families

These costs add up, and you can help! Donate today and DOUBLE your impact for animals in need — including tiny kittens!
