A New Beginning, or at least a step in that direction Options

[AlleysMama]

Saturday I started my first day volunteering for the rescue org that does the adoptions through Petsmart store.

I'll be going in every saturday morning to clean the cages and let the kitties out a couple at a time for some exercise before they open for adoptions.

There was one little guy who really tugged at my heart. He was six months old, and of course, a long haired black kitty. He was so sweet and gorgeous, and a little terror too! I am sure he will be adopted soon, so I'm not seriously considering him, but it does give me hope that I will be interested in one.

I have a little over a month left for the move. If I find one I truly want before then, I might be able to adopt then get him fostered until I move so that I wouldn't miss out but I didn't want to do that with this little boy. I don't think I should jump on the first one I liked, especially since he looked so much like Alley, which was likely part of his appeal.

But it IS a start, and in the meantime, I'll be able to help the kitties in a small way. There were 4 precious ones adopted when I was there

Alley's mama, I love what you're doing!!!I have often wanted to do volunteer work at an animal shelter since I lost my cats. I may do this next fall- right now it's impossible for me to do so. I think with your understanding of what cats are all about, the shelter is really lucky to have you.(Thank God for folks like you!)Through this,you will find your buddy and that relationship will grow into a beautiful story for you and your treasure. Great big hugs, for a wonderful heart ready to beat for other hearts to come. Take care sweet Alley's mama.
