Construction of our hurricane safe cat shelter is moving along nicely. Thanks to a generous donor, the foundation and the steel building kit are completely paid for. We are almost finished with the outside of the cat shelter. There is just some minor trim work left to do before we will have to raise more funds before being able to do anything else.
Our next step is to obtain donations of building supplies for the windows and the interior walls and everything needed to complete construction inside our cat shelter. We have a list of needed supplies, which include, but are not limited to the following:
190 – 2 x 4 x 8’s
50 – 2 x 4 x 12‘s
90 sheets of 4 x 8 sheet rock
