There are 71 of them and they come from all parts of the Island to help. They are the volunteers who help run the Island Food Pantry.
Please Adopt Us
The new rocking chair (a gift from a generous friend) in our cat room is really getting a workout — the cats just love it and so do the volunteers who sit and comfort all our lap cats. It is amazing how much it calms them down.
There hasn’t been much adoption activity since the holidays, so we still have a lot of full cages. We are hoping that as soon as every one catches their breath, the adoptions will pick up.
