The shelter says it now has 30 kittens of various ages, 15 of which are available for adoption. Orange, buff, tiger, black, or grey; shorthairs and longhairs, they've got them.

Webster's House (formerly known as The Animal Rescue and Protection Society) is located at 1758 Route 103 in Chester. The shelter is open to the public on Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, from noon to 5 p.m. It can be reached at 802-875-7777 or shelter@webstershouse.org.
