Seniors support cat rescuers

Residents of a retirement living community in Bethlehem are always eager to help their two-legged or four-legged friends.

In early September, seniors at Traditions of Hanover began collecting gently used items for donation to Nine Lives Thrift Store in Coopersburg. The store’s mission is to help local cat rescues, with a percentage of the profits given to the organization chosen for the quarter.

Through the sale of items, Nine Lives Thrift Store brings attention to these local animal rescues, some of whom the community may be unaware of.

Joanne Weiner, a resident of Traditions of Hanover, was happy to give up her stuff. “You don’t hear enough about good causes like this,” she said.

Resident Herb Repsher was willing to part with some baking items. “I don’t bake anymore and wanted to pass these on to someone who could use it,” he said.
