I've been wanting to volenteer at a no kill shelter in my area, but I guess I'm not really sure on what qualifies as a good shelter? I know of one not to far from me & I was going to go there, but a freind I work with said that she had been there & wasn't that "impressed" by it. She said that the cats were all in cages in one room. From what I understand this woman had just been to the city's newest humane society & they have wonderful facilities. However, I personally could not volenteer at the humane society because pretty soon my 400 square foot apartment would be filled with cats that they were going to put down (honestly I always tell my freinds that one day I'm going to be the crazy old cat lady with 100 cats) I guess I was just wondering if anyone had any info on how to pick a shelter to volenteer at. Also, I have a 16 year old cat with CRF & I was wondering if I needed to be worried about the possiblity of her being exposed to any illness from me being a volenteer (forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I don't know much about animal shelters)
