ICYMI: Nesconset Nonprofit Aims To Help Sergeant Bring Cats Home

NESCONSET, NY — American Army Sergeant Hetty, while stationed overseas, rescued a cat she called Nubbs. Nubbs is the mother of a litter of kittens. Sgt. Hetty has received her orders to head back to the United States, but she can't bear the thought of leaving Nubbs and her furbabies behind.

She has teamed up with the Nesconset-based nonprofit Paws of War to try to bring the felines back home to the U.S., according to a news release. However, the organization needs financial help to make it happen.

"We are happy to help Sgt. Hetty, but we can't do it alone," said Dereck Cartright, a disabled veteran who is the stateside logistics coordinator at Paws of War, via news release. "Our efforts are only successful at these missions if the community supports it. When they make even a small donation, it all adds up so that we have the funds needed to make this happen."

May is both National Military Appreciation Month and National Pet Month. Anyone who would like to donate to help Sgt. Hetty and Nubbs can do so here.
