H.E.A.R.T. Rescue, based in Roanoke, Virginia, specializes in the care of neonatal kittens, particularly those suffering from severe health issues. As kitten season peaks, the organization is reaching out to the community for volunteers to help care for these vulnerable animals by becoming neonatal kitten fosters.

The rescue provides extensive training for volunteers who are willing to learn the necessary skills for caring for orphaned and abandoned kittens that need round-the-clock attention. Amy Spence, the founder and operations director, emphasized that while neonatal kitten care may seem daunting, ordinary individuals can significantly impact these animals' lives with the right training and support. “These kittens require bottle feeding, temperature monitoring, weight checks, and constant care, but volunteers don’t have to do it alone,” she said, noting that the organization provides guidance and resources to ensure volunteers are successful.
H.E.A.R.T. Rescue operates without a physical shelter, working closely with local shelters and community members to provide specialized care to high-needs kittens. Interested individuals can reach out via phone at 540-404-5181 or via email at [email protected]. The organization is also active on Facebook and Instagram.
