Amyrah- 3/4/09 – Second Ollies Place Visit

Hannah and I went for our second visit to Ollie’s Place yesterday on the 3rd. We were told to get there by 5 pm, but no one was there. At around 5:30, a woman named Emily showed up and let us in. She introduced herself and told us a little bit about herself, and we learned that she had been working there for only a few weeks. We were told to open about 3 cages at a time, and take out the litter box and scoop out the cat poop. Not a great job, might I add. After we did that, we had to sweep the bottom of the cage and put new food inside. It was much easier than the work we had to do last time, but it was difficult to get the cats back inside their cages. Ollie’s Place is a non-profit, no kill branch of Mighty Mutts. All the cats are spayed/neutered, and have all of their shots. People can not bring in their own cats to Ollie’s Place, they are all brought from the owners farm in New Jersey. (or so we were told from someone who works there)You can look at this link to learn more about Ollie’s Place, look at the cats we work with, and even donate money to help them out! http://www.olliesplace.org/
