The two kittens born to a feral mamma cat soon to be re-released to her Beech Road neighborhood are up for adoption, according to the New Canaan Police Department Animal Control unit.

The kittens are about 10 to 12 weeks old and will be vaccinated prior to being adopted out, Officer Maryann Kleinschmitt said.
Together with their mom, the kittens were picked up from Beech Road last month. The mom is “in excellent health,” Kleinschmitt said and will be placed back in the neighborhood from which police removed her. New Canaan has a handful of feral cat colonies, the biggest one being on Summer Street near Lakeview Avenue, officials have said.

The kittens—the only ones found in a newly birthed litter—if they were released back with their mom “probably would be coyote food or fox food,” Kleinschmitt said.
Anyone interested in adopting them should contact Animal Control at 204-594-3510.
