We are Kids4Kats, located in Chester County, Pennsylvania: a very special kitten foster program made possible by some very special kids! Please check out our adoptable cats on Petfinder !

Annie and Camilla (ADOPTED!)

We are a school for children with special needs, and we foster abandoned and stray kitties for the Pennsylvania SPCA as part of our school's animal-assisted therapy program. We bring them to the school's petting zoo where our students feed, groom and socialize the kitties while they await new homes.

Our program offers our students the opportunity to overcome fear issues, learn nonverbal social cues, and feel the sense of pride and accomplishment that comes with taking care of the kitties. The kitties also benefit. We've had everything from bottle-fed babies to senior cats over age 15. We've had some sick kitties, as well as victims of animal cruelty, that we've had to nurse back to health. But what all our cats have in common is that when they leave our program, they are very well socialized. Nothing bothers them. They're excellent with children of all ages and abilities. They're loving and friendly. They have been constantly handled and put into different situations. They also get along with other pets (including other cats), since they live in the petting zoo.

The experience our cats get here is unique, and we've been able to find WONDERFUL homes for them. Since November 2009, we've saved over 150 cats and kittens! (And each one who comes into our program makes room for one more at the PSPCA.)

All of our kitties are examined by the vet, vaccinated and spayed/neutered prior to adoption.

If you live in Southeastern Pennsylvania and are interested in adopting any of these sweet kitties, please e-mail us at Kids4Kats@yahoo.com. **Our school is open all summer long, so don't hesitate to contact us!**

We also accept donations of food (especially wet), litter, toys, anything cat related.

Thanks for visiting our site. Add us to your contacts and keep checking in with us. We will be uploading new photos frequently, because as soon as we can adopt one kitty out, we bring another kitty in!
