A PETCO Foundation grant will be helping the Hermitage achieve their goal of saving at least 100 felines in an event called, ‘100 Cats in 100 Days.’

This important lifesaving program began back on April 30 and will run until July 31, the time many call ‘kitten season’.  As this is generally the time of year that more cats give birth and shelters see an increase in litters of kittens with and without their mothers.
