CLARKSVILLE, Tenn. (CLARKSVILLENOW) – The birth of multiple litters of kittens has caused Montgomery County Animal Care and Control to reach out to the community for resources.

Eight female cats have recently given birth to litters. One cat even had eight kittens. Although these little fluff balls are cute, they are causing overcrowding at the shelter.

Animal Control is asking the public to donate supplies or become a foster family for these cats. The shelter needs kitten food, canned cat food, disposable litter boxes, and litter.

Foster families will be required to commit to a timeline of four to seven weeks, depending on the mother cat and kittens. Each foster family will be provided with a supply starter kit.

Those who are interested can contact Animal Control at 931-648-5750, or stop by the shelter at 616 N. Spring Street to fill out a foster application.
