Foster Kittens

As part of our nonprofit mission, ELLAS Animals INC cares for foster kittens who need extra time or care before becoming available for adoption to their forever homes.

Partnership with CCAS

We have partnered with Citrus County Animal Services (CCAS) in Inverness, Florida, who provide the resources to care for the kittens and accept applications for adoption when they are ready. Adoptions are on a first come, first serve basis, but applicants who come through our nonprofit (having seen the kittens on our website or our social media and contacted us before submitting their application through CCAS) receive priority consideration. The standard adoption fee through CCAS will apply and is $35 for kittens. However, they often have specials and promotions on their social media.

All kittens adopted through CCAS are spayed/neutered, microchipped, current on age and species appropriate vaccinations and flea and heart-worm prevention. Kittens under 6 months of age are tested for Feline Leukemia (FeLV).

Our current litter of foster kittens:

The Rainbow Litter: Five boys (3 solid black and 2 black and white). They were born around mid March, placed with us at around a week and half (before their eyes were opened) and returned to the shelter on April 22, 2025.

Former litters of foster kittens:

The Social Media Darlings: Rizz (black and white boy), Big Yikes (solid black boy), and Delulu (solid black girl). They were born around July 24, 2024 and joined us when they were about 2 weeks old on August 7, 2024. They were found without a mother cat so they were bottle fed until they could be transitioned to solid food and a litter box.

Rizz foster kittens
Kittens this age need to be bottle (or syringe) fed every few hours around the clock.
Kittens this young can’t stimulate themselves to potty or poop so we have to do this for them until they can begin to use the litter box on their own.
