We would like to recognize Denise Hays from the Wildcat Wildlife Center! They said that without her they could not
take in and help nearly as many animals as they do. Denise is so
dedicated that she volunteers 60-80 hours a week in the spring and summer!
She works with helping animals and helps
to educate people. Denise will receive a lunch for two at Arni's! Congratulations Denise and Thank you Arni's!
