Girl Scout Troop 60144 Learns About Cats

Posted on by PAHS Staff

The afternoon of Friday, March 3, PAHS volunteer Reine Flexer accompanied Leonor Delgado, the Education Manager, in a visit to Girl Scout Troop 60144 in Los Altos, where the girls and their troop leaders were introduced to facts about cats. Reine and Leonor focused their discussion on the rescue and care of stray cats and kittens as well as TNR (trap-neuter-return) efforts supported in part by PAHS.

The Scouts expect to follow up with a later session at Kiddies 2 Kitties atSVACA (Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority), where they will learn about shelter operations and participate in helping to socialize cats and kittens. PAHS thanks the troop for the opportunity to work with them and hopes to meet again with the Scouts very soon.

The Palo Alto Humane Society is a 501(c) 3 nonprofit, charitable, volunteer-supported organization. PAHS is one of the few humane societies nationwide with no animal shelter. Instead of managing animals inside a shelter, we work to keep animals out of the shelter through humane programs in intervention, advocacy, and education. For a century, our mission has been to alleviate the suffering of animals, increase public sensitivity to animal issues, and elevate the status of animals in our society.
