Sunday I went to our local shelter to bring supplies to them.
(Once a year I do my charity thing that I pay for out of my own
pocket....even though I don't have a job right now).
I brought them 2 gals. of bleach, 4 bottles of dishwashing detergent,
10 rolls of paper towels, 600 6" paper plates, 28 cans wet food, 2 20lb
bags of dry food, 9 'mice' toys
a $40 cash donation and 3 papers I printed out on different topics
about cats they can tack on their bulletin board for prospective
'parents'.
Plus I got a chance to check out their operations and how they care for
the cats.
Everything in order, clean, and the attendants were friendly,
professional and caring.
