Today, my daughter and I stepped out of our comfort zone to share some love. We started our journey volunteering at the Edmonton Humane Society. There is a lot to do there, but for now we are helping out with the cats. More specifically the cats that are not yet ready to be adopted out. They spend a lot of time in a cage and need socializing and stretching and cuddles.
It saddens me a little as there are many cats and most of them grown ups. I know that most people want a kitten or a puppy but there is a lot to be said for an older cat or dog. They are usually more laid back and have just as much or more love to give. I wonder why people surrender their animals, and hope that it's not because they grew tired of them.
Anyway, this is an endeavour that will soothe our souls and theirs. It will bring us some calm in our crazy lives, and ease some anxiety. It will give these cats some much needed love and attention and will help with their socializing so they can be adopted out. It's a win win.
