Three kittens rescued in the wake of the storm and transported to Marlborough need your help.
They survived Hurricane Sandy and were whisked to safety in Massachusets, but now three seven week-old kittens need surgery before they can be adopted. “These kittens came in literally right before our transporters," said Jocelyne Durrenberger, president of the Cat Rescue of Marlborough and Hudson (CaRMaH), who has named the kittens Ferdinand, Miranda and Prospero in honor of their survival of Tempest Sandy. “They are starting to gain quite a bit of strength every day."
