What is kitten season?

Kitten season predominantly occurs during the ACT’s warmer months of October through to May, though this can vary.

During this time RSPCA ACT expects to receive more than 850 kittens at our Shelter, most of whom will require vaccinations, desexing and other care to make sure they get the best chance of enjoying a healthy life.

ACT residents should be on the lookout during this time for litters of kittens which can be found in drain ways, backyards and anywhere a mother cat deems suitable to give birth.

We’ve put together some ‘Kitten Season Information’ for you to know in case you stumble upon a litter of kittens.
