HILL'S PET NUTRITION AND KITTEN LADY HANNAH SHAW TEAM UP TO HELP SAVE MORE KITTENS AND SUPPORT SHELTERS DURING BUSY KITTEN SEASON
Initiative aims to reduce fostering barriers and support shelters facing an uptick in tiny felines during this critical time OVERLAND PARK, Kan., June 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Every spring and summer, animal shelters across the country face a surge of vulnerable kittens in need of care—a time known as 'kitten season.' According to Shelter Animals Count, kittens under five months made up 57% of all feline shelter intakes last year, with neonates (kittens under four weeks old) requiring intensive, around-the-clock care. This overwhelming demand often strains already-stretched shelter resources, leaving many kittens at risk without community support. To address this critical issue, Hill's Pet Nutrition —backed by a 22-year commitment to shelter pets through its Food, Shelter & Love program —has teamed up with award-winning kitten rescuer and educator Hannah Shaw (aka Kitten Lady) to rally support for kittens and shelters on the frontlines. The collaboration aims to inspire more people to foster by equipping them with valuable resources that instill confidence while highlighting the critical role of nutrition in every kitten's journey. How Fostering Works – and How Easy It Can Be Despite the lifesaving impact of fostering, only 1 in 10 Americans have ever fostered pets, according to findings from the upcoming Hill's 2025 State of Shelter Pet Adoption Report. Fostering is a rewarding way to make a difference in the lives of vulnerable kittens while addressing a great need for shelters and rescues. Most shelters typically provide everything a foster needs from food and supplies to veterinary care, removing any financial barriers so fosters only need to provide the love and care. 'Having fostered over 1,000 animals, I've seen firsthand how impactful fostering can be,' said Shaw. 'By opening your home to a kitten in need, you're not only giving them a better life but also helping shelters focus their resources where they're needed most. Fostering doesn't require any special experience—just a loving heart and a willingness to help. I'm proud to partner with Hill's to show how accessible and rewarding it can be to foster.' How Hill's Supports Shelters and Fosters For more than 20 years, Hill's has been a partner to shelters, providing vital, high-quality nutrition to more than 1,000 shelters in North America and helping more than 15 million pets find new homes. Many Hill's-supported shelters offer complimentary Hill's Science Diet Kitten foods to foster families, ensuring that kittens receive the specialized nutrition they need to grow and thrive. Once kittens are ready for adoption, Hill's continues to support their healthy start by offering New Pet Parent Kits, which include a starter bag of Hill's Science Diet food and helpful resources for new pet parents. 'Nutrition plays a vital role in a kitten's early development, and early exposure to a variety of food textures and flavors is key,' said Lisa Restine, DVM, DABVP (feline), feline professional veterinary affairs manager at Hill's Pet Nutrition. 'Hill's Science Diet Kitten foods are carefully formulated with balanced minerals to support growing bones and teeth and an antioxidant blend of Vitamins C & E to support developing immune systems. Science Diet Kitten is available in dry, wet and stew, and with different protein options to help fosters and new adopters introduce their kittens to different forms of food, setting them up for long-term success.'

Amazon Pet Day sale is live — save up to 50% on treats, food, toys and more
As a pet-owner, I'm no stranger to spoiling my dog with all his favorite treats and toys (even if he does destroy them in a matter of seconds). And while my heart feels full when giving him the very best, my bank account doesn't always tend to agree. Fortunately, Amazon Pet Day is here to help! For a limited time, Amazon is hosting a huge sale with up to 50% off all things pet related. If you're a dog or cat owner, you're in luck. I've compiled a list of pet essentials that are now on sale from just $9. From treats and food to dog cameras and beds, here's everything I recommend shopping from Amazon Pet Day. With 45% off the usual price, this is the first Amazon Pet Day deal I'm adding to my cart. My dog absolutely loves these treats and patiently awaits them after his walks. The Blue Buffalo treats are made with real beef for a taste dogs just can't resist! You'll feel great rewarding your furry friend since they contain no artificial preservatives, corn, wheat or soy. Perfect for both dogs and cats, this donut bed was made specifically for animals with anxiety. It features a round shape so your pet can easily curl up and its raised rim provides neck and head support. This creates a sense of security, which helps your dog to relax their muscles and stay calm. I bought this bed for my dog and he definitely sleeps more soundly and comfortably. It's always wise to keep your pet's flea and tick treatments up to date, especially in the spring and summer when the latter can absolutely thrive. With 33% currently knocked off the treatment, you should take advantage while you can. This version is for small dogs, but there are discounts on all sizes. (I just picked this one because it looks like my pup). Keep an eye on your pets while they're on their own with this camera, which also doubles as a treat dispenser to keep them out of mischief. This offers full HD resolution, a built-in mic and speaker, full night vision, a 160-degree FOV and is compatible with Alexa. My dog has allergies and very sensitive skin — but when we switched him to this Sensitive Stomach and Skin formula by Hill's Science Diet, it was very clear he felt relief and wasn't scratching quite as much. It features prebiotic fiber to fuel beneficial gut bacteria and support a balanced microbiome, as well as omega-6s and Vitamin E to promote a healthy coat. Keep your cat's (or small dog's) dinner on the right schedule with this automatic feeder. The Wi-Fi-enabled device can dispense up to 10 feeds a day, and offers 10 different voice recordings. It's controlled via the companion app, and records your feeding record for future reference. Named our favorite robotic litter box, this one from Neakasa is now $120 off. With its open style design and large base, it's perfect for cats who want extra room to work with. This automatic litter box also has a sizable waste bin that's quick, while Wi-Fi connectivity lets you keep track of their usage and weight.
