SAN FRANCISCO, CA — San Francisco Animal Care and Control will begin offering care kits to residents who find stray kittens as kitten birthing season heats up, the shelter said Friday.

While Animal Care and Control is closed during the city's shelter-in-place order due to the novel coronavirus, it will still offer limited services, including the kitten care kits to residents starting Saturday.

While animal shelters can care for injured or ill pets during the pandemic, they will not be able to take in trapped cats and kittens while the order is in place, requiring residents to care for them in a shelter's stead.
