SMITHTOWN, NY — A group of American servicemen and servicewomen are asking for help in getting a small family of kittens they rescued while stationed in Eastern Europe back home to the safety of the United States, according to a news release from Nesconset-based organization Paws of War. The soldiers hope the kittens would then be able to have a life without the constant threats of living on the streets in a harsh environment. "The stress and challenges on our troops right now can be overwhelming, this simple act of kindness can give them hope and happiness," said Dereck Cartright, a disabled veteran who is the stateside logistics coordinator at Paws of War, via news release. "We will do all we can to help our soldiers bring their family of cats to safety, but we need the help of the public to make it happen."
