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.
