Volunteers Needed for Temporary Adoption Center - La Tienda @ Eldorado

The new owners of La Tienda @ Eldorado are providing Felines & Friends with space for a temporary adoption center in the hope we can place a couple of dozen cats for the holidays. However, we need volunteers from the Eldorado area who are willing to sign up for a scheduled time to care of the kitties as well as staff weekend adoption hours. If you are interested in volunteering, please send an e-mail to bobbi@felinesandfriends.org or leave a message at 316-2281.
