SPCA Homework challenge S5
On Saturday the 23rd Mum and I went to the SPCA to volunteer. We got to clean out the cat cages in three rooms. The green or red room, the recovery room & the Hospital. The green or red room is the quarantine area where new cats come and stay for seven days before the can be put with the general population. We had to say if any cats were sneezing or looking poorly. The SPCA has protocols to avoid cross contamination. They were really cute. I got the job of getting them out of their cages and getting new kitty-litter & food. Mum got the job of cleaning out the old litter-boxes because I love her so. There were heaps of cats. I held some instead of putting them in the cages while we were cleaning them out. There was a white kitten that had only a like about 10 black strands of fur on its head and a black kitten that had some white strands of fur on it's feet. I think these two were the cutest. With two ginger and white kittens coming in second. Our shift went from 8:00 to 12:00. I wasn't allowed into the adoption area because we had worked in the hospital area. Mum was relieved! When we got home we had to change our clothes and have a wash before handling our animals. Next visit is in a fortnight. I'll keep you posted about the black and white kittens :)

Wow, what a great activity Catherine. I really enjoyed reading your post. It made me laugh that you wangled it so Mum would have to clean the litter boxes. Sounds like they are very strict with the protocols there and fair enough too.
ReplyDeleteApart from getting the exciting job of the litter boxes, I was really impressed with your writing. I think you had fun helping the animals.
ReplyDeleteI like that you got your mum to cline the litter boxes. You also said that if the cats where sneezing or looking poorly to tell the spca about it and could you show some photos.

We were to busy to take photos. Like one time we had only finished half an hour before the next lot of volunteers arrived. We don't have enough time to take photos.
