Day 17
Today we teamed up with the Lethbridge Fitness Club, fully expecting to spend the morning walking dogs… but the real need was waiting for us in the cat room and let’s just say it wasn’t the glamorous side of volunteering.
Dusting, sweeping, wiping, cleaning litter, folding laundry… all the things that keep the animals healthy and comfortable but rarely get the spotlight. And honestly? It felt good to show up where help was actually needed.
We learned a lot today. The Humane Society shared that they often care for 80–100 cats at any given time. That’s a huge amount of love, supplies, and vet care to keep them safe.
The biggest needs right now are:
• Adopters — giving these animals a home
• Volunteers willing to clean, fold, scrub, and support behind the scenes
• Donations — especially financial help, because vet bills climb fast
• Supplies — food, litter, blankets, cleaning products, etc.
It was a reminder that giving isn’t always cute or Instagram-worthy… sometimes it’s dusting shelves and scrubbing cat rooms because that’s where the difference is made.
Grateful to be part of it today.
