For kittens, cold and rainy weather isn’t just uncomfortable - it can be life-threatening. Young kittens can’t regulate their body temperature properly, especially in their first weeks of life, so exposure to rain, wind, or winter cold can quickly lead to hypothermia. Wet fur loses its ability to insulate, tiny bodies cool fast, and even mild cold can become dangerous in a short amount of time. Add hunger or dehydration, and their energy drops even faster. Kittens left outside are also more vulnerable to infections, since cold stress weakens the immune system, and parasites thrive in damp environments.
Bringing kittens indoors to foster gives them warmth, safety, and a chance to grow strong. Regular feeding helps stabilize glycemic levels, proper shelter allows their bodies to conserve heat, and human care provides monitoring for illness before it becomes fatal. Even short-term fostering can be the difference between survival and loss. Taking a kitten inside isn’t “interfering with nature” - it’s offering protection during the most fragile stage of life. Warmth, food, and safety don’t just help kittens survive bad weather - they give them a real chance at a healthy future. Fostering felines who are stuck outside in this weather is essential for them.
