According to shelter officials, 14 kittens have been taken in during the past week alone, including nine that arrived without their mother and require additional care and feeding.

The shelter is currently in urgent need of wet kitten food donations, and officials say any brand will help. Donations can be dropped off during shelter operating hours or mailed directly to the facility.

Chattooga County Animal Control is located at 464 Red Oak Drive in Summerville.

Regular shelter hours are Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. Wednesday visits are available by appointment.

Officials say community support is critical in helping provide proper nutrition and care for the young animals until they are ready for adoption.

Anyone wishing to help can donate wet kitten food directly to the shelter.
