CONNECTICUT, USA — Meet Birch! She's looking for her forever home with an amazing family. 

Birch is a 3-month-old female kitten who was born in foster care. She was born very small, and the Connecticut Humane Society said it took a lot of extra care from their medical team and Birch's foster family to get her to gain weight and grow healthy and strong. 

Birch is now just under 2.5 pounds and is spayed, and ready to go home!

The Connecticut Humane Society emphasizes the important role of foster programs and how they help the animals at the shelter and thank those who open up their homes to the animals in need of a temporary stay outside of the kennel environment.
