From the director:

The first time I met Nikole, she and her husband Sean had just moved to Morgan Hill and called Town Cats to borrow traps and find out about spaying and neutering the strays in the yard of their new home.

Well they finished up the project of taking care of the strays in their neighborhood by neutering them all and providing food/water/shelter. The next time they came to Town Cats was one evening when I was there alone scooping litter boxes, doing the night shift and they brought medical supplies to us as a donation because their cat had just passed away. They told me that they wanted to volunteer for Town Cats. So Nikole started by coming every Friday evening doing the night shift at the shelter, dishing out the evening wet food and treats to our 90+ residents, scooping litter boxes, sweeping, cage cleaning, topping up water and dry food bowls. Not glamorous work, but Nikole is so full of energy and life - she is always smiling!

Nikoke and Sean carpool into work and expanded their volunteering activities to include picking up cats from the vets in San Jose and Milpitas and bringing back to our shelter in Morgan Hill. As if that's not enough, she helped set up and tear down our adoption fair display and transport all the cats to the new city of SJ shelter in September for their grand opening, and did a fabulous job of cleaning all the cat scratch posts and condos at our shelter with a steam vac plus pulling out the cages and really scrubbing to get our shelter in tip top shape for our October National Feral Cat Day Open House.

The cats are really blessed to have someone like Nikole and her supportive husband, Sean who's also a cat lover; to help them and give so much of their time and energy to help them. Thank you Nikole! We love you!

A big paws up to Nikole! Send us an email if you'd like to volunteer to help the cats!
