HERE COMES "KITTEN KINDERGARTEN" FREE Education Opportunity for Potential Kitten Adopters
The San Francisco SPCA is pleased to announce the return of "Kitten Kindergarten," classes for people who would like to prepare themselves for kitten owner/guardianship. We have had so much success with our Puppy Classes, that we would like to carry that over to benefit our young felines and their families-to-be. Our experience has proven that adopters who are fully prepared for the realities of pet ownership make better "parents" for our homeless cats and dogs. Our ultimate goal is help these homeless pets find -and stay- in loving homes.
Here is what you will need to know about KITTEN KINDERGARTEN at The SF/SPCA:
Attend our FREE Kitten Kindergarten class prior to choosing a kitten and learn basic tips on kitten care. Qualified adopters will receive a $25 discount at the time of adoption. Discount is not valid if the adoption takes place prior to taking the class.
What you will learn:
Setting up your home for your kitten
Socialization and positive reinforcement
General medical information
Kitten proofing and safety
Playtime and kitten energy
Litterbox and scratching information
Feeding and grooming needs
Who's invited to attend: Any members of the prospective kitten household (including children 5 and up)

Saturday mornings at 10:00AM - 10:45AM at SF/SPCA Classrooms, 243 Alabama Street.
Please call 415-522-3500 to confirm class dates and to reserve your spot.
Please be aware that in order to adopt an animal you must:
Be at least 18 years of age.
Have valid photo identification with your current address, if photo id does not have your current address please bring a piece of mail with your address on it.
Be able to PROVE that you are allowed to have a pet where you live. [i.e. proof of home ownership; copy of your lease stating pets OK; letter of approval from property owner or manager.]
Be able and willing to spend the time and money necessary to provide the training, medical treatment and proper care for the pet.
Bring along any family members resident in your house, including dogs or children, for an introduction to a new dog.
Understand that The SF/SPCA reserves the right to deny any adoption for any reason.
Many adoptions will take approximately 1 hour or more. For all applications presented to the adoption desk past 5pm we can not guarantee we will be able to process the adoption nor will we be able to hold the animal.
