Kitten Shower

The CUTEST baby shower of the year… is for kittens!

Kitten season is almost here, and ARF Hamptons is getting ready to welcome dozens of tiny, wiggly, purr-filled kittens. Every spring, vulnerable little ones arrive who need round-the-clock care—many are orphaned and rely on bottle feeding, warmth, and loving foster homes until they’re ready for adoption.

That being said… you’re invited to celebrate at ARF’s annual Kitten Shower on Saturday, April 11, from 12 to 2 PM at the ARF Adoption Center, 124 Daniels Hole Road, East Hampton!

Come help us gather supplies, learn how to care for bottle babies, and meet a few of our tiniest arrivals. Just like a baby shower, ARF’s Kitten Shower helps us collect the love and supplies our kittens need to thrive during the busiest time of the year.

What to Expect at the Kitten Shower:

• Foster & Care Training – Learn how to foster and care for newborn kittens until they’re ready for adoption.
• Bottle-Feeding Demonstrations – Watch hands-on training at 12:30 and 1:30 PM to help orphaned “bottle babies.”
• Kitten Supply Drive – Bring much-needed supplies from our Kitten Shower Registry Wishlist (available on Amazon).
• Operation Cat Program – Learn how to support community cats through humane trapping, spay/neuter, and care.
• Adoption & Volunteer Opportunities – Sign up to foster, adopt, or support ARF’s lifesaving mission.
• Fundraising Fun – Drop a donation in the Kitty Tip Jar to help kittens in need and suggest a kitten name.
• Kitten Crafts with Shine Studio.
• Adorable Kitten Themed Snacks and Refreshments

Whether you’re curious about fostering, hoping to adopt, or just want to spend time with kittens and fellow cat lovers, come celebrate kitten season with us!

Because every tiny toe bean deserves a chance at big dreams, cozy naps, and a bright future.
