Kathy's Journal - Volunteer Work at Local Animal Shelter


I took a trip this past week to my local animal shelter for some volunteer work. Spent some time with some of the adorable kitties that they have there. From handling some of the cats, I have discovered that felines, like their human counterparts, display many different personalities. Polly, pictured above, is a beautiful white medium hair female who is rather timid. She is skittish around me and justifiably so since she hardly knows me. In the bonding room, she seems much more content hiding in a kitty cubby hole than being frisky and playful. Elton, on the other hand, is quite different. He's an old boy at age 7 and just a little on the hefty side. Actually, he's a load to carry around. If you need to build up your biceps, he's a good one to haul around. I enjoyed our time in the bonding room. He was much more playful than Polly. I understand that the shelter is really pushing to get him adopted ASAP. I do hope that they find someone suitable for him. He would be a great pet for anyone. Polly might need additional time to warm up to someone, but in the end, she would make a wonderful pet to love. I am looking forward to eventually spending time with each of the cats there. If anyone is looking for that special feline or canine companion, I highly recommend visiting your local animal shelter. As I mentioned in an early post, Nala and Gizmo were both adopted. These animals need a loving and caring home to go to. I will continue to post my kitty and doggy experiences at the shelter.
