Hi again,

I just wanted to post and let everyone know that I have just come back from my first time volunteering at the animal shelter.
I went there for about 3 hours today, and sat with the cats and played. I did feel a bit overwhelmed at first, because the cats all seemed so desparate for attention, but I made sure that everyone got a cuddle.
I'm going to be going back once a week to start. The lady that runs the shelter says a big problem is people wanting to volunteer everyday and then getting burned out, so we agreed that once a week to start would be great.
Of course I saw so many nice cats, and I wish I could take more home, but at least this way I'm doing a small bit to make the cats more likely to be adopted.
Thanks again for all the advice, it certainly came in handy.
