Shelter, Maintenance
• Chuck asked to put a sign on the exterior door in the catteiy, indicating that it should be
used for emergencies only. He's concerned that if it's used for taking out
recyclables, volunteers coming back into the shelter would not know if a cat is loose
and could get out the door.
*Jeff will look into opening a town account at BJs in order to save money on food and
litter.
ACO Report
•House Fire Cats — Jeff stopped by Roberta's house, but contractors were not there
either time. Jeff estimates another two weeks before the fire cats can return to their
