The window kittens are back!

Jupiter, Luna, Nova and Orion are the first Mass Street Kitten Academy recruits of 2022. On Saturday morning, they got to be the first to try out the academy’s stellar new window display, hosted at Love Garden Sounds, 822 Massachusetts St.

There’s also a fifth kitten who is still too teeny to go home with anyone.

Mary Costello has been fostering for the Lawrence Humane Society for nine years. She started staging kittens in downtown Lawrence window fronts in June 2020. Read more about that here.

Kittens will generally be in the window from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, depending on the sun’s position.

Anyone interested in adopting a kitten may fill out an application at the Lawrence Humane Society. Once the paperwork is in order, they can take a cat carrier to the display to pick up their new kitten. All the kittens are spayed/neutered and ready to be adopted.
