A South Carolina animal shelter overrun with hundreds of kittens is getting some attention from “The Righteous Gemstones” actor Tony Cavalero, The Post has learned.
Cavelero described himself as an animal person. His mother was a veterinarian technician and he grew up with a menagerie that included dogs, turtles, various birds, rabbits, and hamsters as well as nine cats — at once, he told The Post.
Cavalero and his wife, actor Annie Cavalero, have two rescue dogs.
“I think it’s so darn important to rescue and adopt animals,” he said.

The “School of Rock” actor is also using social media to promote the shelter’s desperate plea for people to foster and adopt kittens.
Charleston Animal Society has 604 kittens in its system, along with 79 cats, 27 puppies and 98 dogs — along with five bunnies and guinea pigs. But it has space for only 250 animals, said Kay Hyman, the shelter’s spokeswoman.
