As part of our commitment to supporting your lifesaving work, Kitten College is conducting a data analysis to better understand the needs of your community’s neonatal kittens. Our goal is to use this data to identify trends, pinpoint “hotspot” areas for diversion programs, and determine how we can best deploy resources—like targeted foster recruitment—to support your organization during peak season.

To do this, we need your help, but we want to make it as easy on your team as possible. We understand that not all data may be tracked in the same way, so any information you can provide is incredibly valuable. We are more than happy to help you navigate this request.

If it saves your staff time, you can provide us with temporary login access, and we would be glad to jump directly into your shelter management software—such as Chameleon, PetPoint, or Shelter Animals Count—to collect the data outlined in this request for you.

Our goal with this data is to identify peak intake months, community hotspots, and current foster capacity. This will help us determine the ideal number of fosters needed and where to focus recruitment. We are hoping to gather data for kittens under 8 weeks of age, ideally broken down into two groups: 0–4 weeks and 5–8 weeks.

Annual & Monthly Intake

Total number of kittens received annually, broken down into at least two age groups.
A monthly breakdown of kitten intake to help us identify peak season.

Intake by Source

Annual intake by location and intake type (e.g., stray, owner surrender) for these age groups.
This is extremely helpful for planning shelter diversion and community support programs.

Kitten Outcomes

Outcome data for the 0–4 week and 5–8 week age groups.
Average annual length of stay for both age groups.
