Hungry kittens at Angels of Assisi
I got a message over the weekend from a volunteer at Angels of Assisi in downtown Roanoke saying they would be most grateful for donations of Purina Kitten Chow. Seems they have more than 60 hungry little kittens and not enough Kitten Chow to go around.
If you can drop off a donation, I am sure the kittens would appreciate it. The shelter is located at 415 Campbell Avenue, near the police station and the downtown YMCA, and is open every day from 2 to 6 p.m.
Where is it?

Thanks, Debi! I was in a little rush with this morning's entry and neglected to add the address: 415 Campbell Avenue in downtown Roanoke. I added it to the blog entry.
I dropped off four bags of kitten chow there on my lunch hour and they were very grateful for the donation. The ladies at the front desk said they could always use more and are very happy for the community's support.

The ladies at the front desk were very nice! I'm sure the little kitties need lots of food....babies need lots of food and love!

Marie: You may want to wait a day or two with your food donation until things settle down after the fire last night. Please see today's blog entry for more details.
Melissa: See today's blog entry for a link to Angels' Web site where you can make a donation.
