Kitten Happy Hour - Cute Kittens in San Diego
Kitten Happy Hour
Virtual happy hours have become all the rage during this quarantine period, but we’ve been doing it for years! Welcome back to Kitten Happy Hour. Every weekday during Kitten Season – right around the time you’d be logging in to have a sesh with your girls – we’ll be serving up deliciously adorable and adoptable kittens. There are 3 ways to join the party:
- Sign up to receive our daily Kitten Happy Hour email.
- Follow @kittenhappyhour on Insta.
- Bookmark this page and check back whenever you need a little cuteness in your life.

Ladies, it isn’t about the number on the scale. (Unless you’re a foster kitten who needs to be weighed daily. Then it is about the number on the scale.) #MondayMotivation

Sometimes, newborn kittens arrive without a mother and completely depend on our foster volunteers for survival. Besides round-the-clock bottle feedings, fosters also go above and beyond in other ways. For instance, they will brush kittens with a toothbrush to mimic their own mother cleaning them. (We’re not crying, you’re crying!) #TuesdayTails

This week’s edition of #TuesdayTails is brought to you by Everett and his adorable lion tail! Everett and his siblings were rescued in Bonita before coming to the Center. During his neuter surgery, our medical team removed a BB that was lodged in this ginger boy’s tail. We don’t know who shot Everett, but it didn’t stop him from becoming a sweet, carefree kitten.

If you follow Helen Woodward Animal Center on social media, you may have already met Arrow. But we wanted to feature him here, too, because he’s just that amazing! Arrow came to the Center at the end of May with both back legs badly broken. Despite being forced to wear casts that were almost bigger than him, Arrow couldn’t have been more calm or sweet! Today, Arrow is cast-free, moving around great and expected to lead a normal life. This deserving boy found his forever home just yesterday! #TuesdayTails

It’s the last regularly scheduled week of Kitten Happy Hour 2020, but don’t be sad. Our Kitten BOGO campaign just went into effect, meaning anyone who adopts two cats or kittens will pay only one adoption fee! So this week, we’re giving you a daily double dose of kitten cuteness and sharing why you should consider adopting kittens in pairs.
When you adopt two kittens, you don’t have to choose just one favorite! #Adopt2Kittens
SEPTEMBER 9
Working from home is way more fun with a couple kittens around! (Plus, when they’re bored, they’ll entertain each other rather than bugging you when you have things that need to get done.) #Adopt2Kittens
SEPTEMBER 10
There’s nothing cuter than two sleepy, snuggly kittens. #Adopt2Kittens
SEPTEMBER 11
