i've been thinking about volunteering Cat shelter it for a long time now,and now i'm at uni and not working fulltime anymore, i have time to do it!
i have an interview with the manager on wednesday, so i'm pretty excited
i've always wanted to help out there, i know how hard it is for the cats there, and i think if i can help rehome some of the cats to good homes and educate people about responsible pet ownership it will be all worth while.

the shelter is called The Cat Haven and it is one of the only 3 animal shelters in Western Australia, and as the name suggests it is only for cats.

unfortunately it is not a 'no kill' shelter, and i think they cats there only have about a month for someone to take them before they get euthanized.

i think thats what the manager has to talk to me about, when he said they have to explain how the shelter works, because he mentioned that alot of people get shocked, or can not handle the sad truth about the shelter.

Anyways, i'm really excited about voluntering there, and i know that its not always going to be happy happy, but i'm willing to do my part to help! i'll let you all know what happens

Good luck and bravo to you for being willing to donate your time for such a great cause. I am sure you will find it very sad but fulfilling.
