More Photos of Our Amazing Volunteers

Dawn has been with us 3 years and has bonded with all of our cats. She works the day shift and also volunteers at night. She is a great person and we don't know what we would do without her.
Fernando started with us when he was in high school and is now in his first year of college. He is one of our weekend warriors and also has helped us out when we are short on staff. He is a creative and wonderful artist and donated one of his pictures to our Second Saturday event. We are lucky to have him as part of our crazy team.
Jen has been with us a short time and is another weekend warrior. She is a sweet woman and, as you can see, Pumpkin really likes her. We hope she volunteers with us for a very long time. Thanks for joining our team!
Nelson is a general contractor by trade and volunteered his time to fix the dry rot in the trailer and a small water shed. He worked during the hot June sun but never gave up! He is a special person and we can't thank him enough.
Nicole joined our team not too long ago. She is a great person and is hoping to get a teaching job very soon. She is shown here walking Hamlet on a leash which he loves. We hope Nicole stays with us for a very long time.
Don Yee has built 10 platforms to date and they look amazing!! We can't thank him enough for all his hard work. They will be used in the feral cat habitat to give the cats somewhere to get off the ground and where they will have their own beds.

Don helped paint the cracks and crevices that were hard to cover with a sprayer. He also weed whacked and power washed the front of the doublewide. Thanks Don!!
Eric is a wonderful guy and has come to the sanctuary to play with the kitties and help out and has also volunteered to do some weed whacking and kill the weeds. He has finished law school and is in the process of studying for the bar. He's a gem!
Doreen and Dad Don Working - Doreen and her Dad are building movable platforms for the feral cat habitat. These will be used to put pet beds on them and to give the kitties a way to be off the floor if they want. Don is a gifted carpenter and we are so lucky to have him help us.
Terri is a painter by trade and volunteered to paint the doublewide trailer which will be used for the adoption center. Terri is an amazing painter and did a fabulous job and we can't thank her enough!

Here is the result of all that hard work Don and Doreen have done. We hope to having a painting party and have each platform painted a different color.

Carol is an animal lover and the ultimate seamstress who has sewn tons of bed covers for our kitties. She does a beautiful job and sews them so they can be used on both sides. Our kitties love them because they are so cozy. Thank you so much Carol!

This is our nephew Lee (aka Sonny) who is a heavy equipment operator and has volunteered tons of hours to help us get the sanctuary ready. We don't know what we would do without him. The young man with him is our great nephew Tristan. Love from your Aunts.
