Day 177 - Calgary

The Cat House

Kelly and the Meow Foundation & Cheryl from the Calgary Humane Society organized an event today at the Cat House. The Cat House is a store and has everything and anything you need for your cat. Kelly and Jen joined me at the Tim Horton's and ran up to the Cat House with me. They had a tent setup and some volunteers from the Meow Foundation to greet us. There was a reporter from Shaw TV and Global News. We did a brief interview and then it was time for some cake. They also had some drinks, crackers and cheese and some really thoughtful gifts. It was so nice to meet them all. We went inside the Cat House and took a look around. The owner, Joanne was really nice. She had just recently lost three cats in a short time and I could tell how painful it was for her when she told us their stories. We went from the Cat House to the Calgary Humane Society where Cheryl gave us a tour. Its a beautiful new building and they are all very proud of it. Its huge and has made an improvement in the way they can care for so many animals. We left the humane society and went over to the Meow Foundation shelter. Deb met us there and gave us a tour. She loves her cats and you can feel her passion when she speaks. What a success story they are.

This was such a wonderful day. Its encouraging to be with people who share your compassion for animals.
