HELP NEEDED! MSA COMMUNITY FEEDING STATION
If you are an animal/cat lover we are hoping you can help this summer with our MSA Community Feeding Station.
We have been operating the cat feeding station for the past 8 years. We are able to take care of the feedings for most of the year. However, we are both off the island for summer holidays.
The cats await us in the morning and evening, and we need to know they are being cared for during our absence. We are feeding about 12 cats, and all are neutered or spayed. The station is located across from MSA, secured behind a locked gate.
We would provide food for the time you commit to feeding and a key for access to the feeder. We have been feeding twice a day: early morning and evening (dinnertime). Ideally for each day we are looking for someone to do an early morning feeding (around 6:30 -8:30 am) and another early evening-dinnertime feeding (around 6:30 -8:00 pm ish). The dates we need volunteers are July 3rd -August 29th inclusive.
Any time you could spare-- a day, a morning or an evening-- would be very much appreciated! I can be contacted by email cwhite@msa.bm or phone 292-4134 extension 1953.
