Karma Kat Cafe and Rescue, an animal shelter in Mount Pleasant, has closed its kitten intakes due to a lack of space for new fosters.
"We don't have fosters, we don't have room and there's just too much demand because there are too many kitties being made," Aliya Gorton, a manager with Karma Kat said.
She said the shelter usually receives phone calls about cats in need, or they are brought to the cafe. Summer is kitten season, which brings in more animals but the business has seen a shortage of foster parents.
Local rescue managers told Central Michigan Life people are hesitant to foster because they're worried they'll get attached to the animal, and others are not able to foster because of residential regulations.
