Volunteer work

A rather pointless thread but what the hey, if we can have a thread about bollocks, we can have a thread about... well whatever this thread turns into.
I start volunteer work at a cattery in Norwich next week, basically cleaning things, doing the odd computer work, and whatever else needs doing, whenever I can - which is really handy because I can just drop in whenever. I was there today to be shown around and I just wanted to share some pics of the SWEETEST little things I have ever seen!
Most of the cats there were tiny, some were older and just curled up in a corner. Today was just to see if I'd be interested and up for cleaning a cat's cage when its crapped itself, but they are the sweetest little things I have ever seen so how can I
not be up for it.

Anyone else thinking Gizmo the Gremlin?
(of course I'm talking about the kitten, not fireboy)

I'm afraid that kitten is quite evil.
I'll have the black and white ones -- and the black one. I shall be the local weird cat lady.
I would love to help out at a cat place but we only have a dog one and I don't really do dogs.
We've got a pig farm though -- but they don't really need help, they just stink the town out.

I've wanted, for a while, to be able to get out more and meet new people, do something different to design and computer-related stuff, so I dropped into the volunteer place in the city with a friend to see what they had. The cattery was the first thing to pop up on their
computers, and it seemed ideal – I like animals, I don't mind cleaning...
It's nice to know that you're doing something to help someone when you're volunteering, whether that be working at a cattery or simply meeting up with someone who is a bit lonely. There is lots out there to be done, things that pay more than money is worth, and a lot of missing smiles
Anyhow, we'll see how it goes. It may not last long if they want me early in the morning!

May I start with the slightly overused (and becoming tedious): "Please, sir... can I have some more?"

Fancy keeping a cat in the fridge. How awful.
Personally, I prefer my pussys warm, but wet.

Awww! He's lovely!
I much prefer dogs to cats. Dogs are far more loyal and don't strut around the kitchen with an erect tale meowing for food!

Good point Jamez. Well said. Well said.
