She now works full-time for Tree House Humane Society, and it was a delight to meet her and chat about CATS! I was a trifle star-struck, but Alana is such a terrific person that I got over myself quickly.
I am so very glad to have visited their new building. It's light and airy; a delight! I'd venture to say that every other cat rescue will use Tree House as their touchstone. There is a veterinarian on site, and are opening an off-the-street clinic, which will include low-cost spay and neuter. Plus, you can stop to have a cup of coffee, and visit with a select number of ready-to-adopt cats.
Folks, we cannot put an end to the overpopulation of cats in shelters and rescues by adoption alone! We need the world to understand that spay and neuter is the answer.

ReplyDeleteStar-struck by Alana? You should've been me at the CWA Conference in May. I couldn't get out a coherent sentence!!! I miss CATastrophes so much. What a gorgeous shelter space.
ReplyDeleteWow, that sure looks like an awesome place. It would be the best if there were more like that. Wish we could broadcast your last paragraph throughout the world to get the point across! Happy weekend.
ReplyDeletewe have visited tree house with other bloggers and we think it is wonderful. We have two cage free cat rescues in our area that we support and totally agree with Spay/Neuter and no kill initiatives. Thanks for a great post
ReplyDeleteThat looks like an awesome adventure
