I recently started volunteering at a local no-kill cat shelter. I had always wanted to do something like that, but there were always excuses. This time I just decided to do it.
It is incredible. These cats are amazing. I can't wait until next weekend when I go again! If I could do this as my full time job I would.
They need people, they need that time that we give them. They are so dependant on us...It is a pleasure to be able to help them learn to trust and become confident again.
It has made me look at my three kitties at home in a new light, too. They are lucky little cats, but I don't want to ever take them for granted. They need me, and I need them. They help me remember how important we all are to each other.
Sigh, my little loves!
