Review for Furry Friends - The Humane Society Of Greater Jupiter Tequesta, Jupiter, FL, USA
I have volunteered at Furry Friends Thrift Store and have adopted two wonderful cats from Furry Friends. They are a fantastic and competent , professional and very caring compassionate group whose Heart is definitely in the right place. I am so thankful that we here in the Palm Beaches have such a wonderful, loving, and efficiently run Animal shelter here in our area that saves sooo many cats and dogs! their Clinic and Vets were rated No. 1 in Palm Beach by the readers of the Palm Beach Post, and I have had nothing but fantastic competent and compassionate care from all my animals by their Vets and Clinic!
Review for Adopt a Cat Foundation Inc, Lake Park, FL, USA
I volunteered for Adopt A Cat and adopted my very first cat from them shortly after starting-SPOOKY, a gorgeous little jet black kitten who i had for 13 amazing years until he got cancer and i had to put him to sleep. While he was getting sick with his chest cancer and having trouble eating, etc., I needed to try and help him get nourishment when he stopped eating-I went over to Inga's home and Inga gave me an IV bag of fluids and would not accept any money for it! That is what Adopt a Cat is really all about! I have watched Inga and them take loving competent unselfish care of thousands of cats there and their heart is truly in it!! Wonderful organization!
Review for GUMBO LIMBO COASTAL STEWARDS, Boca Raton, FL, USA
what a fantastic place to visit to see live SEATURTLES-----and a great place to donate to, that actually puts most of the money to good use HELPING the TURTLES---(not like other so-called turtle 'hospitals' that take in THOUSANDS of dollars every DAY and use them to just put on nice little "Galas" and "parties" for their Boardmembers and friends ?????

Review for Loggerhead Marinelife Center, Juno Beach, FL, USA
I have been lucky enough to be able to volunteer with Loggerhead Turtle Hospital and have seen absolutely wonderful and dedicated loving people giving their all to help these injured and sick turtles!
The compassion and caring among all the staff and Volunteers is truly heartening. LMC does the most fantastic work helping injured sea turtles from all over the country. Presently we have quite a few turtles that were saved from cold-stunning up in Cape cod and many have been healed and are now being released! You could not find more helpful and compassionate staff & volunteers in any non-profit endeavor!
Sadly---right after letting LMC know about this site and the grant they are awarding---someone at LMC felt that it was "inappropriate" that i had "broken the chain of command" there and had the gall and arrogance to mention this to the "higher-ups" there (and perhaps embarassed THEIR Bosses by showing how they had been incompetent in not knowing about GREAT NONPROFITS and this possible Grant) ----so I was called in the director's office and in about 7 seconds told I was being fired as a "volunteer", and the director, Tommy Cutt, REFUSED to even tell me a "reason" for WHY he was firing me as a Volunteer. seems some "higherups" have very defensive and nasty sociopathic tendencies and mechanisms to try and hide their ineptness and lack of people-skills?
As I pointed out to the newly hired CEO/President- JACK LIGHTON, who also would not give me a "reason" for why he ordered TOMMY CUTT to fire me----They probably would not have treated a TURTLE as harshly and meanly as they treated me for only doing something with the good of the Turtles and the Mission of LMC in mind. Sometimes Non-profits DO actually hire and keep "LOSERS" and crass cowardly people on their staff.

Review for Camp Boggy Creek, Eustis, FL, USA
Boggy Creek is the most wonder-filled experience I have ever had in my life! I have been lucky to be able to volunteer there three times and find their compassion and experience for the children an experience I wish all of you could share. The allow children with life-threatening illnesses and their famolies to come experience CAMP at no cost.There are full medical supports on the property and the kids get to camp just like "normal" kids and forget about thier illnesses while there.
