This week’s winner of the Silver Fern Farms Local Legend award is Sharron West, of Balclutha. 

Sharron was nominated for accomplishing a milestone of rehoming more than 2000 kittens that are brought off the streets and from unwanted litters.

She has been the driving force alongside a team of nurses in getting these wild kittens completely back to full health when she can, and going above and beyond to find them a forever home and family.

Her nominators said they were "so proud" of her amazing accomplishment and people were grateful to the work she does.

Sharron was grateful to be nominated and glad she could find homes for kittens in the South Otago area and beyond.

Congratulations to Sharron, and a reminder to get your nomination names, their contact details and why they deserve the prize in to evelyn.thorn@alliedpress.co.nz and they could be in to win.
