I found the kids willing to help that time at one of the high schools in
excellent suggestions.
more and more high-schools are requiring community service before
graduation, and far more kids would like to help animals than
people--a sentiment i can certainly identify with! there's a lot of
things that retirees can do, as well, with skills gained from years of
I was out at the Volunteer Fair at the University of Texas campus today (I
had to take the day off to go).

Yes, Rude Ranch does LOOK like a great place...BUT:
I attempted to place a cat at Rude Ranch a few years back, committing to the
monthly support fee needed to surrender. My first choice for the felv + stray

your personal experience with RR. Your language and tact was in no way
interpreted, (certainly not by me) as a definitive slam on them
