Radio station The Breeze leaped into action to avert kitten starvation at Hamilton's SPCA.
Breakfast host Dave Grove heard that the Hamilton animal rescue organisation was down to its last one or two days of kitten food.
A Kitty Can Appeal to listeners and businesses generated an enormous amount of
cat and kitten food - certainly enough to stave off the immediate dietry dilemma.
Feline food was donated from individuals and supermarkets from Hamilton, Cambridge, Te Awamutu, Matamata and Ngaruawahia.
SPCA part-time administrator Kim Conchie said a long, hot, dry summer was the reason for an extended kitten season which had overwhelmed the animal shelter.
