I visited the shelter because I remembered it from over 30 yrs.ago (under a diff.name)obv.alot changed but what I always liked no matter what happened with the decor was the fact that all the cats& kittens could roam "free will".I have to say there was a loud cat urine odor but having been around cats in some form or way my whole life that was almost a sure thing.The staff was overly friendly & helpful,considering I wasn't there to adopt..although I did leave with an imprint of two of them in my head. all the animals were literally right at home & content.I'd like to put a word in for those that can't speak.Please consider adopting a Cat/kitten, if not from StayAwhile then from your local shelter.also...Thanks to the volunteers that make it work! I've been there.
