An Eye-Opening Experience

Me carrying around one of the cats at Wolf Run
A few weeks ago, I had my first official day as a Wolf Run volunteer! All of the animals were completely awe inspiring, but of course I was obsessed with the cats. 
Our mission for the day was to clean out one of the small storage buildings and reorganize it. It was muddy, it was cold, and there were lots of spiders, but at the end of our 2 hours of manual labor, we had managed to make the room look 1,000 times better than when we had arrived. We even did some slight interior decorating.

Sometimes while doing service I contemplate if what I am doing is actually making a difference at all. I mean, how is tidying up a little bit going to help these animals? But by doing these seemingly small, and sometimes tedious tasks, we free the time of Wolf Run's hard-working hands and allow them to give the absolute best care to these animals who desperately need them.
