Danielle Porqueddu, 13, of Bethpage, has helped foster cats on behalf of the Northport Cat Rescue Association. (Astrid Porqueddu)
NORTHPORT, NY Danielle Porqueddu has always loved cats. While she has never had one as a pet, she has always wanted to get involved with felines. Danielle hoped to accomplish this by volunteering for an animal rescue organization, but a factor she had no control over prevented that: her age.
Danielle, a 13-year-old Bethpage resident, was told she was too young to volunteer. She discovered this during the coronavirus shutdown when she searched for foster opportunities with the help of her mother, Astrid.
