A nother Chance Animal Rescue will be celebrating the arrival of new kittens and their moms, with a kitten shower, which is open to the public. Light refreshments will be served and there will be a viewing of some of the very young baby guests. The event will take place on May 14 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Sanford Adoption Center, 251 Country Club Road (Route 4), Sanford. The public’s assistance is needed now more then ever with fostering, kitten chow (dry and wet) adult cat food, (dry and wet) baby bottles for kittens, cat litter and toys for the babies. Many colors, patterns, fur lengths and personalities will be available. At least five litters of kittens and their moms have already made reservations to come in.

Those with cats that are not neutered or spayed are urged to have their pets attend to. Many low income programs are available to help.

In addition to the large number of kittens and their moms, there are a selection of teenage kittens and adult cats looking for a loving family and home.
