Mary Lou Nation has given up her home to help kittens.
The Gonville women is a foster mum for Second Chance Kittys, a new group which re-homes unwanted cats and kittens in Wanganui, via a Facebook page.
People contact Second Chance Kittys and Ms Nation takes in the kittens, gets them healthy and feeds them until she can find them a home. She also pays a portion of the de-sexing costs before handing them over to the new home.
In the five months she has been a foster mum, she has re-homed 65 kittens and seven cats. She has 24 in her house at the moment.
Selflessly, she has so far spent $3000 of her own money on food and vet bills, but people donated to the organisation from time to time.
