Local Cub Scouts at Kiddies 2 Kitties

Posted on by PAHS Staff

Cub Scout Pack 404, based in Sunnyvale, attended the Wednesday, March 15 Kiddies to Kitties session at SVACA (Silicon Valley Animal Control Authority). In addition to reading to and socializing the cats up for adoption at the shelter, the Scouts also learned about the shelter’s goals, policies, and operation and took a brief tour of the shelter.

Accompanying the Scouts were their troop leaders and the sister of one of the members of the pack, who is an honorary Scout herself. Everyone had good questions and observations for PAHS staff and volunteers and the Outreach Coordinator at the shelter, Janet Alexander.

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.
