Burlingame Girls, 11, Raise Money For Shelter Kittens

BURLINGAME, CA — Two Burlingame girls with big hearts worked hard to raise some money for the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA, presenting more than $100 over the weekend to the shelter.

Sofia Husain and Kelsey McDonald, both 11, presented their donations to the organization during a special "kitten shower" that was held over the weekend.

The shower is an annual event hosted by the Peninsula Humane Society & SPCA which provides a unique opportunity for the public to view tiny kittens in nursery care. Guests are encouraged to bring "shower gifts" — and Husain and McDonald certainly stepped up to the plate!

Animal shelter officials say that the PHS/SPCA’s Kitten Nursey started in 2008 has helped 1,135 kittens to date.
