Hi,

While traditionally, the most popular time for kittens to be born are in the Spring and late Summer, unneutered stray cats are able to mate at any time, so there will always be a significant number of unwanted kittens being born at various times of the year. Among wild cats, the time of birth depends upon the kind of cat and the climate of the area. Domestic cats in the tropics may have kittens at different times from those in northern climates. In the United States, most mothers have two litters a year, and kittens are born in the spring or late summer. If you notice a larger influx of kittens at this time of year, there may have been an unusual fluctuation in the weather patterns/temperatures, and females were becoming pregnant later, deviating from the norm.

Bless you for the wonderful work you do and good luck at the Shelter!
