My Nonprofit Reviews

This no kill cat rescue group runs the nicest shelter home I've ever seen: sceen doors instead of solid between rooms and halls; homey furniture and windows in every room; cats grouped by personality and needs, care crews come 3 times a day to clean, feed, medicate, play. All kittens live in foster homes. Free and low-cost spay/neuter for cats and dogs, free dog and cat food for underprivileged owners, outreach and education to schools and public/private organizations, all cats neutered and pronounced healthy by local vets before adoption. A competent, organized, caring group of about 75 active volunteers work hard to find every cat a loving forever home, and reduce the number of unwanted cats and dogs.

I've been a Volunteer since 2006 & have served on many committees. But the most fun for me are the special events, going to outside meetings and introducing attendees to AWLMC, marching in parades, distributing printed hand-outs to our county residents. I admire & support the no-kill philosophy, though it increases our costs and concerns about unadoptable cats. Many times, though, with the right counselors and enrichment, unadoptables become adoptable. Though quite allergic to cats, I want to do some direct care for our cats in our shelter-home setting, with separate screened & windowed rooms for cats with different needs. (Kittens are always fostered in private homes.) Our whole mission is about reducing unwanted cats & kittens in the county with low-cost spay/neuter (for dogs, too), and free food for qualified dog and cat owners. But while we have cats & kittens in our care, we do our very best to give them a loving, interesting & healthy life until we find the perfect human(s) them.
