volunteer work....


           Volunteer work is sort of mandatory in the Navy. LOL. It doesn't mean that it isn't something that we enjoy though. I have been looking for somewhere to volunteer and I finally found a place. I currently volunteer with the Cat Corner and I go out to there Petco location and clean the cat cages and play with them.

My training day was Thursday where they taught me what to do (which wasn't that hard), so now every Tuesday I go to that location and take care of the cats. I think I am really going to enjoy it. The cats are so great. I hope that they will get a great home. SO IF ANYONE IS INTERESTED LET ME KNOW!!

                                 Volunteering isn't just benificial for the people I am helping, but it is beneficial for myself also. It's great to know that I am helping out. Especially with pets. People sometimes over look volunteering for places like this and these are places that need a lot of help. I'm not saying that other places that deal with other things aren't great but it's good for me because after dealing with people all day at work it's nice to spend some time away from them. It also feels good to socialize them and see how much they change; from being shy and not really wanting to be held, to being able to jump in your lap or walk on a leash (which I never knew that you could do with a cat..LOL)

These cats are great though. Just spending the first day with them I know they are wonderful and going to make great pets someday. I can't wait to go back next week. Might just stop by this weekend to see how they are doing :) well that's it for now.










P.S. IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY LOOKING TO ADOPT GOOGLE THE CAT CORNER IN HAMPTON AND THEY HAVE DETAILED STORIES AND PICTURES ON ALL OF THE CATS THEY HOUSE!!!
