Same, kittens.
The shelter was looking for a tool to help its staff multi-task while socializing feral kittens, a process that can take way more time than the shelter often has to offer.
In the seven years since it began using the vest, the ARL says they have significantly expedited the socialization process — feral kittens are now ready for adoption in a speedy 48 hours, if not sooner.
Because the feral kittens are ready for adoption sooner, they free up space at the ARL faster, too — meaning more kittens can be rescued and adopted from the shelter in less time! Plus, the staff and their kittens look cute AF in the process.
Only a few of these vests exist right now, but the ARL is hoping to make more.
