***Thank you!*** I (Susan) would like to take this time to say a HUGE "Thank You!" to all the wonderful volunteers that have made our program a success. Without each of you, none of this would be possible. In addition to me, there is one volunteer who has been with the program since it started in 2011. She likes to remain mostly anonymous, but we have truly been partners in making things happen since the very beginning 😻😻 I tried to tag everyone on this list, but for some reason I couldn't. Harriette M. Taylor joined us more than two years ago, and has tirelessly fed the cats, and always gone over and above when the cats needed something..... even on short notice. Debrah Perron Jordan and Wendy Sherrell Tolbert have both been with us for almost two years, and Diana Behnke has been with us for almost a year. These ladies have given so much of their time to the cats. We had quite a few volunteers join our team in early 2025. Those that are still feeding are: Maria Sinopoli, Tiffany G. Holcombe, and Jessica Drexler. Those that have had to take a break for personal reasons are: Tara Nix and Stephanie Acevedo. We hope they will be able to resume some feeding shifts soon! Over the last 14 years, we have had many feeders that all fed for anywhere between several months up to several years before personal things necessitated them dropping out. They are Lynn Marie Marascalco, Lauren Voisine, Jeannie Murphy, Nance Burrell, Katie Fields, Jan Hughes, June Turner, Melanie Baker, Suzanne Gailey, Dustonia Call, Vicki Miller, Louann Jones, Christina Martin, Amanda Peyton, and Jennifer Dressler. Y'all PLEASE let me know if I have left someone out! I have a running list of the cats, but never started one of our volunteers. I would also like to thank our many donors that have given food, or monies to buy cat food and medical care for the cats. The hospital used to give us $1,000 a year to help with expenses, but they stopped giving us anything two years ago. Currently, we really need a volunteer(s) that could feed the front garage cats on some Mondays sometime between 6am and 6pm, and someone that might could feed on an occasional Sunday between 6am and 2pm. If that's you, please let me know! (Pictured: Sweet Sneakers 😻) (fb)

It seems really strange to be in the backyard feeding the cats and Pumpkin not be there. I like to think his little spirit is still sitting at the top of the hill keeping watch over his territory 😻 All the other cats are doing great! Sneakers usually meets us at the bottom of the hill, Eclipse comes out by the big feeder, and Sam has been up around the sidewalk. All of them have been going up to the sidewalk a lot more. The front cats are doing great also! Tiger loves Cheddar so much, and Miss. Ava loves both the boys! (fb)
