Jan. 7, 2025- Matteo Figueroa Kirn and Emily Buhowski, dedicated members of the Paws Club at Intermediate East, with the support of club advisor Michelle Le Fevre, volunteered their time Sunday night at the Brick PetSmart, where SAVE Rescue Shelter has numerous cats available for adoption.

The students' efforts included scooping litter boxes, sweeping, feeding, and socializing with the cats. A labor of love, sure, but labor nonetheless.

"Their hard work highlights the importance of giving back to the community and making a positive difference," said Le Fevre. "Acts of service like theirs not only help animals in need, but also demonstrate the value of being responsible and caring citizens."

As far as time spent volunteering goes, sounds pretty purrrr-fect to us.
