#KittenSeason is out of control. Are #WarmerWinters to blame?

by Sachi Mulkey
Mar 18, 2024"Across the United States, summer is the height of 'kitten season,' typically defined as the warm-weather months between spring and fall during which a cat becomes most fertile. For over a decade, #AnimalShelters across the country have noted kitten season starting earlier and lasting longer. Some experts say the effects of #ClimateChange, such as milder winters and an earlier start to spring, may be to blame for the uptick in feline birth rates."
