New Volunteers at Humane Society
|
Tuesday, August 02, 2005 - Catalina Island Humane Society
In the past several months, the Catalina Island Humane Society has attracted new volunteers to help with many different projects. Lora York has become a mainstay at the Humane Society Trailer helping with the twice daily cleaning and feeding routines necessary no matter how many or few occupants fill the cages. "I honestly don't know what I'd do without her," said humane society president Dianne Stone. Whether cats await a vet for spaying or neutering or a new home, all need constant care and attention. An innately organized person, Lora has also been working on preparing new adoption procedures and filing systems so each animal and its care and treatment are carefully logged throughout its stay.
