Boonton resident Suzanne Griffin runs a local animal welfare group that assists residents with stray cat and kitten issues. Currently, there are a large number of felines available for adoption. All animals are rescued from Boonton, Montville and Parsippany. All are tested for disease, altered, vaccinated and checked for parasites before adoption. If you would like to add a new addition to your family, please email blvdtravel@aol.com or visit our website www.pass4pets.org. The group is also in need of donations of clean towels, pet carriers, bleach, laundry soap and paper towels.
