August 2009 - Animal Shelter Volunteering
On August 15th from 9-12 am over 20 SECULAR Center volunteers worked at a local no-kill animal shelter in the Houston Heights area We took care of their cats by giving them some needed love and attention and cleaning their living spaces. We also performed some touch-up painting, office work, yard work, reorganized their storeroom, and completed some special projects. We got a lot done and there was something for everyone, including kids!
 Back Row: Front Row: Mathias, Taryn, Jana, Steve, and one unhappy cat. I guess he doesn't like to be in pictures! |  Taryn, Jana, Noelle, and same cat, but a little happier. |
 Steve with his special project, a sandwich board for displaying outside! |  An animal shelter employee teaching our volunteers how to clean the cages and feed the kitties! |
 Painting white board paint on the wall. When it's done they'll be able to use dry erase markers on the wall! |  Organizing the storeroom! |
 Of course we got some play time with the kitties! |  Aren't these little guys cute? |
 Our hard-working volunteers making the front area look great! |  The shelter was kind enough to provide us with drinks and snacks while we were there! |
 We did some yard work in the hot outdoors! |  And we cleaned a lot of cages! |
Thanks to all of the volunteers for your hard work and for donating lots of important items for the shelter, such as cat food, bowls, and kitty litter!
