Frankie’s Friends Cat Rescue is having a new roof installed Monday on its Fifth Avenue building in downtown New Kensington.

Frankie’s Friends provides low-cost spay and neuter services, medical facilities and rescue. It takes in about 500 sick or injured cats each year, rehabilitates them and finds them homes. Those with needs making them unadoptable are able to live out their lives at the rescue.

The nonprofit was the winner of the “Great Roof Giveaway” contest sponsored by Schultheis Bros. in Plum. It was one of three finalists, with the winner chosen by online voting in September.
