Save A Life - Volunteer To Foster A Kitten From The Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter

It's the height of kitten season and the Friends of the Southern Ocean County Animal Shelter need your help.

The group desperately needs fosters for kittens eating on their own and fosters to help bottle feed kittens in their homes.

"Helping these little guys is a rewarding experience for sure and the cuteness is beyond words...could you help a couple or more little kittens? When tiny ones come into the shelter, we must have a foster available."

If you have room in your heart to help, please call Susan Lounsbury at 609-698-0059 or at 609-661-4135 and she will fill you in on how it works or stop in the shelter to fill out a form. The shelter is open from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. daily and 1 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on Wednesdays.

The shelter will supply food, instructions and tips. Current bottle feeders will teach volunteers how to feed bottle feeders.

"For each litter of kittens, you will receive a thank you of $75 in appreciation for giving a litter of kittens the chance to live a happy life," according to the group's Facebook page. "Their lives depend on us."
