Why I volunteer at the animal shelter
Posted by Adam Ainbinder in Goals on January 30, 2009
stories like this really make me feel good about finding ways to give back. this is an email from one of the animal shelter leaders.
Hi Everyone,
I wanted to give you an update from Yandy since so many
people fell in love with his spunky personality and loving nature.
Yandy was the cat that was on a 6 month quarantine because
he was seen in the mouth of a coyote. When he arrived at the shelter, it was
during the middle of the Shelter’s highest cat population (280 cats in
the cat building). So Ron Edwards, the Shelter’s Administrator, housed
Yandy in his office to wait out the quarantine.
Yandy was recently released from his quarantine last Friday
and he already had a great home from one of the shelter’s former
volunteers. At first, he was a little nervous in his new home and meeting his
feline room mates. However, he has finally settled down in his new home
and is getting along with the other cats in the house. His new family is giving
him lots of attention, love, and TLC and they appreciate all of the staff and
volunteers who helped Yandy while he was at the Shelter. Also, in his new home,
Yandy will definitely not be seeing another coyote anytime soon.
Please enjoy the attached pictures of Yandy in his new home.
Thanks!
