Ryan Hall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As part of a special partnership between Ryan Hall, Bridgewater, N.S., and the SHAID Tree Animal Shelter, residents have been hard at work cutting patterns, assembling, and stuffing handmade cat toys. For the past three years, the SHAID Tree Animal Shelter has visited Ryan Hall, bringing a cat in their care who is waiting for a loving home. With help from the shelter volunteer and recreation team members, these feline guests make their way through Ryan Hall, soaking up cuddles, pats, and the occasional nap on a welcoming lap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These visits create a \u201cpurr\u201d throughout the home, inspiring\u00a0 residents to give something back. They decided to sell handcrafted cat toys with proceeds going to help the shelter purchase items from its wish list. Their effort was a success, raising enough to buy every item on the list. With full hearts and busy hands, residents are already excited for their next creative fundraising adventure.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
