Last week it was the dogs. This week, it was time to give love to the cats. This morning, our family volunteered at the Animal Shelter in Hailey. We were able to spend some time petting, playing and interacting with the cats. The shelter has large cages/homes for the cats that you can actually step into and be with the cats. About 3 staff members were there thoroughly cleaning each cat cage/home and I was very impressed with the quality and condition of the facility.
Not only did this opportunity help teach my children about giving back to the community, but also helped squelch their desire to have a cat (well, at least for a little while).
We couldn't leave the shelter without playing with our favorite puppy Mack. We were able to take him in the gated agility field and just let him have some free time playing with us.
I'm very thankful that our family can be a part of such a fun volunteer opportunities. It is especially helpful that the shelter is very accomodating and allows us to arrive whenever we would like.
