Volunteer Spotlight

Ben Dovalina

 

Ben is one of our treasured youth volunteers.  He comes almost weekly and loves helping us out with all sorts of tasks.  From cleaning windows, to scooping litter boxes, to even helping with outside construction projects, Ben is always up for anything!  In addition, he and his family adopted two kitties from our shelter a few months apart.  Ben took his time getting to know the cats and figured out which two would be perfect for his family!  He knows a lot of cat trivia and is always looking to add more information to his already huge knowledge of cats! 

 

Thank you for being a great volunteer Ben!

About The Cattery
 
The Cattery offers an alternative to traditional animal shelters in providing a no-kill, cage-free haven for homeless, abused, or abandoned cats.  From there, we seek permanent, loving homes for these animals.  In addition, our organization promotes public awareness regarding the value of animals and their welfare, the dangers of pet overpopulation, and the benefit of quality human-animal companionship.
