I am in fact being paid for the work I'm doing over Christmas - does it count that it was an entirely voluntary choice to work those days though?
I love my feral kitties and I have to be sure they get their warm wet food over Christmas! At least I know they are safe and warm and comfortable while they are in our shelter. They have all just been sterilized and wormed and de-flead etc, and they will be going back out to their respective areas after the holiday..... but they are comfortable with us. There's always someone else out there who makes sure they get food and shelter when they're home again
