I'm sure your help will be very much appreciated - I have 7 cats - all are rescues - we have feral cats on our ranch and the hurt kittens seem to find their way to our back door!

I see many, many cats in your future. My SIL in Wyoming worked at a shelter and adopted two cats. Each had six toes. I have three cats and if I did work at a shelter I'd be out of house and home trying to take in more.

I've found a couple gals to help me make pet beds, I also make at least 1 quilt a year for a fund raising raffle, I've fostered three dogs while they were waiting to be adopted but told my girls(dogs) I wouldn't foster any more for right now I will/have also volunteered in the local Humane Society thrift store, but I really don't think I could work with the animals, because I would have to bring them all home. Congratulations on becoming certified to work with the animals though.

Congrats! You have a great heart to want to do this!

Good for you!!!! Bless you for taking an interest in wanting to help your shelter. Our shelter would be in a world of hurt if it wasn't for all the volunteers!

My other half volunteers at our local animal shelter and we foster quite frequently. Because I am a vet tech, we seem to get the poor dears that are sick or recovering or have ongoing chronic medical issues. We will be getting a beagle next week that is undergoing treatment for a heavy load of heart worm and contracted pneumonia after her first injection. We were supposed to get her earlier this week but our 15 yo Pomeranian was ill and we needed to fix him first! We really enjoy helping the animals and being able to shower these "throw aways" with love and attention while prepping them for their furever homes!

If I could, I'd take care of all the strays! I have a lot of love and compassion to give to animals. Bless you Ruth, I'd love to help the vet but unfortunately, all I'd do is cry or pass out because I'm afraid of needles!! :thumbup:

Bless you for volunteering with the cats, very loving of you. I hope all of them you work with find kind and loving homes.

Just think what a wonderful world we would have if each just gave a little to a cause, any cause. Thank you foe working with the animals, like a lot of others I have a hard time working directly with them. But do volunteer a day a week working at the local animal thrift store.

I don't volunteer but I work for shelter, be prepared for a lot of work. It has been the most exhausting job I have ever had.

Oh my gosh, congratulations! You are very brave to do that.
