Volunteers from the Give Me Shelter Project are hoping Madam Fefe, 2, and Lucy Lu, 8, will find homes for Valentine’s Day. (Susan Nicolello)
NEW HYDE PARK, NY They are willing to commit furr-ever, but in the meantime, they just need a little TLC. Volunteers from the Give Me Shelter Project cat rescue are hoping to find permanent homes for Valentine s Day for two lovable female cats being fostered in New Hyde Park.
First up is Madam FeFe, whose life has turned around after a tragic start. The 2-year-old tabby cat was found in a run-down neighborhood with her three kittens in the middle of a blizzard. She and the kittens were soaked and sick; she ended up with an upper respiratory tract infection, and her three kittens died.
first show in five years with every bit as much enthusiasm as their first show 50 years ago. 20,000 completely pumped fans in london sang along with give me shelter, which mary j. blige sang, and you can t always get what you want they performed with a live choir for the first time ever. a 2 1/2-hour concert. giving them a treat. rolling stone gathers no moss. the rolling stones have no moss whatsoever. the very birth of rock n roll. many fans say, have changed with the time. always staying current. always managing to stay fresh. as abc s nick schifrin reports, those guys are more than iconic. they are an institution. reporter: they sold 200 million albums. combined they are 273 years old. but 50 years later, the stones still rock.
