I am a retired high school Science Department Director with a Bachelor of Science in Biology and a Masters degree. I taught for 30 years and have had various volunteer experiences throughout that time.

My experience with BSAC has grown by stages. BSAC was the group that I first encountered as a result of kitten visitors in my yard. I needed help and BSAC had suggestions and advice. After a short time, my interest in cats, the attitude of the public towards cats, and how I could help to make the lives of cats and kittens better sent me in a new direction. Educating individuals to help themselves and the cats in their neighborhoods are important to me. BSAC provided the framework for my interests and a way to move forward to provide that help. The goals of the organization are core values that I can support. As a result I became the BSAC shelter manager at a place where myself, and many volunteers would house and care for cats and kittens that were waiting for forever homes.

I am an ardent supporter of animal rights using various internet petition sites, including paid memberships to many animal support groups

My present position at BSAC is vice president. I perform various volunteer functions in the group:

Maintain the pictures and bios on Petfinder of our available cats and kittens

Track of all trapping equipment (including pickup and delivery)

Perform TNR (trap, neuter, return) in the community and track colony locations
Provide temporary foster care for many cats and kittens that are transitioning to foster or adoptive homes
Build and maintain shelters and feeding stations for feral cat colonies
Transport cats to doctor appointments, spay/neuter
Post pictures and biographies of our cats in a flyer that is
distributed to vet offices and clinics and pet stores
Process adoption applications, when added help is needed
