A surplus of kittens at Webster’s House Animal Shelter

Wednesday, September 2, 2015 — Issue 321

When representatives of Webster's House Animal Shelter say they are overrun with kittens, they are not exaggerating.

The shelter says it now has 30 kittens of various ages, 15 of which are available for adoption. Orange, buff, tiger, black, or grey; shorthairs and longhairs, they've got them.

Webster's House (formerly known as The Animal Rescue and Protection Society) is located at 1758 Route 103 in Chester. The shelter is open to the public on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, from noon to 5 p.m. It can be reached at 802-875-7777 or [email protected].
