LEWISTON — The Greater Androscoggin Humane Society invites the community to its seventh annual Kitten Shower and bake sale on Saturday, June 9.

Through the year of 2011, 1,336 kittens were brought to the shelter. To help care for the “babies,” staff invites residents to participate in a “shower” and help them get ready for the newborns.

Donations such as dry and canned kitten food, kitten milk replacer, clay litter, litter boxes, cat and kitten shampoo, blankets and cat toys are a few of the supplies needed to help with the upcoming increase in kittens.

The society provides a haven for more than 5,500 sick, homeless and abused animals a year. The primary support comes from fundraising events and donations.

The society is located at 55 Strawberry Ave. For more information on the Kitten Shower, items needed, the cats and kittens available for adoption or how to become a foster parent and care for a litter of kittens, call the shelter at 783-2311 or visit www.SavingPetsInMaine.org.
