So now my son Connor who is a Life Scout in the Boy Scouts .... was looking for a meaningful project to accomplish for his Eagle... the kitties and helping the neighbor seemed ideal .... although the Scout Leaders felt like chasing kitties was not such a good idea .... we decided to help an organization that helps ferals and strays in the Chicago area. Tree House Humane Society is a cageless, no kill shelter that house approximately 300 kitties. As you walk the floors and hear the history of all these beautiful creatures .... most will probably live their days out in this shelter waiting for a family .... you can only hope and pray that some family will find it in their heart to take home maybe a bit of a misfit but so loving in spite of all the hard ships they have encountered in their life.

So now we are in full on mode of working towards constructing feral kitty shelters for the Tree House and cleaning up the back area of their shelter .... planting hostas for the kitties to relax, keep cool and hide in if needed .......

But of course .... working with a teenager is never easy ... stay tuned for our adventures on getting this project done by the time Connor turns 18 .... September 14 .... 50 days!!!!
