This is the EXACT reason that I don't feel I need to take them home. I've told myself that I'm preparing them for their destined owner...that and I have two cat hating cats at home...Basil, however, loves other cats. I mean...no he doesn't.

The animals are so loved and they have so many volunteers! There were at least twenty volunteers there while we were there. The person that did the orientation is a full time employee and said there is a couple that lives on premises so that the animals have 24 hour care. Neat huh? Talk about a dream job huh?
