Mittens

After a torrential rain storm in Great Neck, NY a local resident discovered a kitten, separated from its mother, near a sewer. She was so small she fit into an empty tuna can. The man brought her to the doors of the North Shore Animal League, but he was turned away. His next stop was the North Hempstead Animal Shelter. From there, the kitten was rushed to the vet by Have a Heart where she received prompt medical care for hypothermia and an infection. She recovered and was returned to the shelter in search of a forever home. Soon after, a family from Port Washington, NY adopted her and their daughter named her Mittens.
