Farmingville, NY – Supervisor Mark Lesko and Councilwoman Jane Bonner have announced that the Brookhaven Animal Shelter and Adoption Center is looking for foster families to take care of orphaned kittens through the “All You Need Is Love” program. The warm winter will produce a large number of kittens that need care and bottle feedings and the Animal Shelter will provide training for volunteers and a cage, bottle and formula.

“The Animal Shelter was able to help every kitten in need last year and we expect the same results, but we need help,” said Supervisor Lesko, “Caring for a young kitten is very rewarding and many people have found their new best friend because of their participation in this program.”

“This year is going to pose a challenge to the Animal Shelter with the dozens of orphaned kittens that will arrive soon,” said Councilwoman Bonner, “We hope that people can find it in their hearts to help and maybe they’ll decide to keep one or more of the kittens they care for.”

If you are interested in helping to care for orphaned kittens, please call the Animal Shelter at (631) 286-4940 or send an e-mail to animalshelter@brookhaven.org.
