Volunteer at Shelter - North Toronto

Cat Rescue---Bayview/Hwy 7

Do you like animals? Come and volunteer at our cat shelter.

North Toronto Cat Rescue is a no-cage, no-kill cat shelter. We are a volunteer organization, funded totally by donation, and are a licensed Canadian charity.

We are looking for volunteers who can join us once a week for a 3 month period (at least). The work is not wonderful but it is very rewarding. Mainly, we feed, clean, and scoop litter. Of course we also spend quality time with our cats.

We have 2 shifts(换班) per day, 7 days per week:

Mornings are 9am-1pm.

Evenings are 5-7pm or 6-8pm.

Please note that any new volunteer who wishes to work evening shift must be able to work 4 morning shifts on a team before moving to an evening shift. This is required in order to gain the ability to work more independently, as required during evening shifts.

Students must be at least 16 years old. Adults are also welcome.

During my visit to my parents, I decided to explore their attic (阁楼). They have lived in their home in the mountains since 1953, so investigating the attic was a trip down memory lane for me.

I climbed the unstable ladder to the dusty, cold third floor. I looked around and noticed a very old basket in the comer, in which I found letters piled high, faded and dirty-untouched there. As I opened each letter, I discovered a new and previously unrevealed page of my parents' lives.

My father served in the Army. He wrote about his daily experiences with civilians, German POWs, baths and more. I was drawn to these letters. Each of my mother's letters was sealed with her 1944 lipstick kiss. Daddy wrote that he sealed his return letters by rekissing her lipstick kiss. Oh, how they missed each other!
