What Is Kitten Season And Why Does It Leave Tons Of Cats Without Homes?

Kitten season happens when female cats go into heat and then many litters of kittens are born at once. It leaves the streets of Brooklyn covered with new kittens that are all trying to figure out how to make it on the streets. One rescue organization makes sure to allot extra resources during this time.

They try to feed these animals and rescue the ones that they can and place them with families. Once cats reach two months old, they are more difficult to socialize and place with families because they have learned how to live on the streets.
