My 13 year old daughter Melissa also does volunteer work, she attends the adoptions at the shopping malls and simply loves it, getting to handle all the kitties and seeing them get homes, don't be too put off by being allergic to cats, I am also and have been for 18 years or so, never owning a kitty in all that time, but as you can see in my siggy below I am now the proud Meowmie of Ash and Lexie, i still have the allergy but by putting myself amongst them I have de-sensitised myself somewhat and now I can tolerate the allergy, besides I could not bare to live without my Puddy Tats.

Hey good on you for doing volunteer work you will be well rewarded., just being able to help and see animals get homes etc.
