    This is what I will be volunteering to do. It's a cat sanctuary out in Richmond, BC. I last visited there last July. They have up to 700 cats. The website is here: http://www.rapsociety.com/catsanctuary/

    I'm really looking forward to it.
    Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!

    Is that where you went with the group? It looks like a wonderful place, you'll so enjoy it! I foresee you'll adopt at least one other cat.

    What a sweet kitty you're holding.

    Love that first picture of you.

    Wow! That's great, Vickie. What a wonderful thing to do now that you are retired!

    That's great. You'll be sure to fall in love at least once in every visit. Who is the little
    one you are holding? Love your t shirt.
