Orphan Kitten Club supports research that leads to real, measurable improvements in kitten health and welfare.

Funded projects must produce practical, evidence-based knowledge that can be applied in real-world settings. Successful proposals will clearly demonstrate how their findings will translate into better care for kittens through veterinary practice, shelter programs, or caregiver guidance.

• Priority will be given to projects that:
• Translate scientific knowledge into practical care improvements
• Inform or strengthen standards of care
• Address critical gaps in current veterinary or shelter-based approaches
• Generate new, actionable information that improves kitten wellbeing

Our goal is to support work that moves knowledge into practice, helping veterinarians, shelters, and caregivers make better decisions for kittens.
