Saturday is Caturday! The Kitten Lady Saves One Life at a Time. Post your babies, memes, photos, videos, or just tell a story!

My friends have been pushing me to get back into rescue for the last several years, but I simply haven't had the time with 4 human kittens and 6 pets of our own, not including the horses and barn cats. After talking to my family (who are so excited, and the husband used to help me, so he is all for it) and thinking about it, I am going to put together a rescue for pregnant kitty and puppy mamas and their babies. If I can hire some full-time staff, I would expand it to include rabbits, farm animals, and horses. I have the space, resources, and heart; all I needed was the will. 

It is going to take me about a year or so to organize and get a spot in my house ready, but with the wars going on and feeling helpless to do anything, I finally have the will. I have to help the world in some way, and it starts with my passion-animals. I will share some photos with you of the newborns and let you know how they progress. 

So, in that vein, I thought a post about a true hero, The Kitten Lady. As my rescue grows, I want her to come over and inspire some Brits to maybe do it, too. 

Hannah Shaw

Hannah Shaw, also known as Kitten Lady, is a kitten rescuer, humane educator, and New York Times bestselling author on a mission to change the world for the tiniest felines. She founded the Orphan Kitten Club, a 501c3 nonprofit that advances protections for the most vulnerable kittens through innovative programs and a state-of-the-art neonatal kitten nursery. Kitten Lady offers educational resources, workshops, and training opportunities for animal shelters, universities, conventions, conferences, and other animal-friendly hosts. You can book a Kitten Lady event through their website. Hannah Shaw has rescued kittens worldwide and has written a book called "Tiny But Mighty," which is a guide to saving the most vulnerable felines and a New York Times bestseller. She also wrote "Kitten Lady's Big Book of Little Kittens," an inspiring picture book that takes readers on the adorable journey of foster kittens from their first days after birth all the way to adoption.

Kittens are a highly euthanized population in shelters because they require a level of care that most shelters cannot provide. That's where Shaw comes in. She rescues newborn kittens, typically born on the street, and advocates for trapping, neutering, and returning cats so that the homeless cat population doesn't grow. She also wants to address the root of the issue: community cat colonies. She wants to make sure everybody is spayed and neutered, and if she can reunite the kittens with the mom, she wants to do that.

Kitten Lady offers fun and educational events in cities across the globe, and you can book a Kitten Lady event through their website. Hannah Shaw has rescued kittens from all over the world, including a starving kitten from Peru that she brought back to the United States. She has three cats that permanently live with her: her best friends and her family.

If you're interested in learning more about kitten care, community cats, and feline welfare, Kitten Lady offers a number of educational workshops that provide fun, thorough, and accessible training for volunteers, staff, and community members of all experience levels. These workshops provide actionable steps to improve the lives of kittens. Kitten Lady has a built-in audience ready to come to your event!

Hannah Shaw's mission is to protect the tiniest, most vulnerable felines and change the world for kittens. She is dedicated to caring for kittens and ensuring they have a safe place to live.
