A Manchester High School Student Helps Feral Cats

T. J. Aitken, a Manchester High School student, held a pet food drive through the holidays for Our Companions to fulfill community service through the High School’s Service Learning Action Project (S.L.A.P.). This project was offered under a “Participation in American Society” class.

T. J. became familiar with Our Companions Domestic Animal Sanctuary through his part-time job at Pet’s Store Next Door in Bolton when Volunteer Patricia McGuiness would show up on a regular basis changing out adoption posters at the store.

T.J. has become very fond of our organization, so when the opportunity presented itself, T.J. knew immediately who he wanted to support!

By advertising at school, through his family and friends and at the store, he was able to collect much needed pet food at a time when the supplies were running low. Our thanks to T. J.!

Our feral cat colonies need help, and Our Companions is always glad to receive food and feral cat shelters from students and student groups.

Shelter building and food drives are great project for youth groups! If you'd like to help, call Laura at 860-242-9999 x318, or contact us here.
