Altered Tails Barnhart Clinic is offering FREE spay/neuterand some vaccination for kittens and puppies under six months. For appointment call 520-495-5900.

Officials with Pima Animal Care Center are advising those good Samaritans that want to help those 'abandoned' kittens, please don't.

"In most situations, staying with their mothers offers them the best chance at survival." Here are a few things to consider when finding kittens:

• If there is a single kitten or two, it is possible that the mother is in the process of relocating them. She can only move them one at a time in her mouth.
• If the kittens' bellies are rounded and feel warm/full, then their mother has recently fed them.
• If the kittens appear sick (i.e. eye and/or respiratory infections, diarrhea) they may need to be removed from their mother's care for treatment.
