Volunteer Orientation - Kitty Klub - August Schedule

The August schedule is complete. You should have received it by e-mail. Please let me know if I made any mistakes. Also, look ahead to September as before you know it I will be asking about your availability. The nights are filled with relative ease - the mornings are tougher. Also, Jen R, who has cleaned cages every Friday morning and sat the adoption table every Sunday afternoon since Pet Smart opened will be returning to school. This is alot of time that will need to be filled.

In an effort to find Sophie a home she has been added to the Open Your Heart and Home campaign. This means Sophie's adoption fee is $10. Please remember this should anyone want to meet her while you are at Pet Smart.

Sometime in mid-September I am going to schedule a volunteer orientation for people interested in volunteering at the Shelter. Should you know of anyone interested please have them download a volunteer application from the Shelter website or stop in the Shelter and get one. The date will be firmed up by the end of this month. To volunteer at the actual Shelter site attending an orientation is mandatory.

I am excited about the start of our Girl Scout Kitty Klub!! Janet K has agreed to chair this program for me and I am sure she will need help. A local Girl Scout troop under the supervision of their troop leader and Janet will be coming to the Shelter one Saturday a month and helping us socialize cats and kittens. In addition they will be educated on the importance of responsible pet ownership, spay/neuter, and the problem of pet overpopulation. Due to the age of the scouts it is necessary that they be closely supervised. I anticipate the scouts' parents will be helping however I may give a shout out for help from time to time.

Thanks for all your help!!!
