Newport News Shipbuilding, A Division of HII reposted this
Newport News shipbuilders are known for building and overhauling US Navy aircraft carriers and submarines. But did you know they also rescue animals? NNS manages a large population of cats along the waterfront. On two recent occasions, shipbuilders – and their ingenuity – came together to save stranded kittens found in our shipyard. Please join me in thanking the shipbuilders involved for the care they showed in rescuing these shipyard cats! Several of the kittens are in the process of being adopted.

2wWell done! This program is a template for what can be done to create a safe environment for the cats and benefit the shipyard by providing a control for the rodent population that ofen is found in industrial locations. If my information is correct these cats are spayed or neutered so the population of cats is kept under controlled and the cats are provided food and veterinary care
