At the Bitty Kitty Brigade, hope begins in the quietest moments. A newborn kitten arrives cold and barely breathing. A litter comes in with eyes still closed, too weak to nurse. A starving pair is fading from malnutrition. Before the world even knows they exist, their fight has already begun.

That’s where we come in.

Bitty Kitty Brigade specializes in orphaned neonatal kittens, the exceptionally fragile. We’re the ones called before hope is certain, when a few hours of care can mean the difference between survival and loss. Your support provides the supplies, care, and medical treatment that make those first fragile hours possible.

This Give to the Max Day, your donation is matched to make twice the difference for newborn kittens who have no one else. Every dollar provides critical supplies like specialized milk replacer, fluids, medications, and incubator heat, and ensures that each kitten has a place to land, grow, and heal in safety.

Your support keeps us ready when the call comes in. Ready for the kittens who can’t wait. Ready for where hope begins.

Why It Matters

Newborn kittens without mothers rarely survive without intervention. They need constant warmth, feedings every few hours, and medical attention to stay alive. Bitty Kitty Brigade is one of the few rescues in Minnesota focused solely on this age group. Your Give to the Max support makes sure we can say “yes” every time the phone rings.

Thank You

Your gift today makes the first chance possible for kittens who cannot survive without help. Together, we make sure no kitten is left behind before hope can begin.

Thank you for standing with Bitty Kitty Brigade this Give to the Max Day.

The Bitty Kitty Brigade is a foster-based rescue for orphaned neonatal kittens in the Twin Cities, MN and surrounding areas.

The Bitty Kitty Brigade takes in kittens ages 0-5 weeks who are without mothers and not yet eating on their own as well as for families where the mother cat is present but unable to feed on her own. We utilize foster caregivers for all stages of care, from bottle-feeding to weaning and beyond. Kittens are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, tested for FeLV and adopted into loving homes.

Our trap-neuter-return team, The Birth Control Brigade, seeks to end the cycle of unwanted cats and kittens by humanely trapping and sterilizing community cats and returning them to their communities.
