Sunday, April 21st kicks off National Volunteer Week, celebrating the invaluable contributions volunteers play in supporting communities and organizations. Volunteering provides much-needed care and attention to animals in need, improving their quality of life and increasing their chances of adoption. Shelters and rescues often rely on volunteers for daily operations, such as feeding, cleaning, and socializing with the animals.
Adoption is always best, but why not consider saving lives through volunteering. Contact your local animal rescue or shelter today!

Beignet is playful, gets along well with other cats and would do best in a quiet home with older children and possibly dogs.
Sally is simply gorgeous! This little lady is quite the observer, preferring to take it all in rather than interact with people. A lot of love, patience and understanding will go a long way with this sweet fur baby. Sally gets along very nicely with other cats. She would be best suited in a quiet home, other cats, possibly with dogs, but no young children.
