Kitten season is still going strong thanks to our Kitten season is still going strong thanks to our warm, dry September — and we’re expecting even more tiny arrivals in the coming weeks. One of the most important things to remember when helping kittens is this: they must be warm before you feed them! Kittens under four weeks old can’t regulate their own body temperature. If they get too cold, feeding them can actually cause serious health issues — even be life-threatening. Always warm them up first using a safe heat source like a covered heating pad on low, a microwavable heat pad, or a simple “rice sock” made at home. A kitten’s body temperature should be between 100–102°F. If their paws or ears feel cool, warm them gently before offering food. Together, we can help these little ones survive and thrive! For more tricks and tips on how to properly warm kittens, check out our website at https://hsdayton.org/2025/10/warmkittens/.
