Aware that I probably wouldn’t get a job this summer, I had been looking around my area for places to volunteer. I’d always wanted to volunteer at an animal shelter, but unfortunately the SPCA in my area is too far to get to on a regular basis. After some research, I found out about a small organization called CASCA, which takes care of abandoned and rescued cats and tries to find them temporary and permanent homes. I volunteered there today for the first time by going to a flea market where they had the cats on display so people could pet them and play with them. Two completely adorable kittens ended up being adopted by really loving families. It’s disgusting how cruel people can be towards animals, so it’s always to see an animal that’s been abused or abandoned being sent off with someone who will care for them.
I have a dog and a cat, and I love both of them in two different ways. My dog is my buddy – she sleeps in my bed, she plays fetch with me, and she follows me around all day. Cats, though, are much more independent – my cat will take off for hours on end, coming home only to feed herself. I’ve grown up with at least one cat in my house since I was born – my mother was always taking in stray cats and finding homes for them. At one point, four of our female adult cats (who were barely a couple of weeks shy of being neutered) got pregnant at around the same time, which meant that we had over ten kittens running around our home at once. We found homes for all of them eventually, but our household was quite lively until we did.
Although I agree that dogs are man’s best friend, I will always have a soft spot for cats and kittens, and I would easily bring as many home as possible if my parents allowed it. It’s hard to say no to those adorable little ears and paws.
Oh, what a way to tug at the heart strings on a Sunday morning. They’re so CUTE!
Hehe, that’s what they’re there for! Imagine seeing them all up close!
I have these weird dreams from time to time about finding a kitten in a dumpster and taking it home. When I woke up, I asked my mom if she would let me take kittens home and she said no, the kitten would eat our birds. *sigh*
I still am hoping, though. Kitten pictures – SQUEE
Aww, that’s too bad! My parents won’t let me get anymore kittens, but at least I have one. I’m sure you’ll get a cat one day, and you’re going to love it!
Awww, I’m melting! I also wrote a post about kittens a while ago, they’re just one of the cutest things in the world. I love every single picture you posted <3
Me too! They are all just too adorable.
Those cats are so cute! I’ve had dogs but never cats before even though I’ve always wanted one. Maybe when I get my own place I’ll get one.
You definitely should! They are the cutest things. And they’re really easy to take care of.
Oh ! So adorable post !
I know! They’re so very lovable. (:
OMG! That is so cute!!! I want to go out and get a kitty right now! I want one so badly. But my husband really doesn’t want any animals
I am going to keep working on him though.
Good luck with that! Cats are such great pets, I’m sure you’ll wear him down eventually

ZOMG cute kitties!!
I wish I had time to volenteer at a cat & dog home, or something to do with animals, but I just physically don’t have any free time at all at the moment.
I had the same problem during the school year. There were so many places I wanted to volunteer at, but I knew it would conflict with my studies so I made myself wait for the summer. I’d like to continue volunteering when I start up school again, but I have a feeling life will get in the way again.
Oh, the photo of that one winking kitten just made my heart skip a beat! I know I am commenting on a back post, but from one kitten lover to another: thanks for sharing these photos!
My pleasure! These were just too adorable to not share.
Gotta love kittys, you gotta see the youtube movie link I left, it is SO freakin cute!
