10. She also gives the pet food to people who cannot afford much.

We live in a small town, everybody knows the "Animal Lady".
She makes the rounds of all 3 grocery stores, gets any torn bag dry food, any dented animal food, some goes to the shleter, some goes to people she knows who have little money and need help feeding their pets, some goes to people who are fostering animals, which I have done several times.
For some reason, she brings me critters who need bottle feeding..a wee kitten she found stuck in a wall, ( we kept him) a wee puppy found on a highway,!!!! etc.
Our newest cat wandered into the house, he was a year old, have no idea where he came from,
I got a voucher from the shelter to have him neutered, because as a stray, he would/could have been under the care of the shelter in the first place, I just saved them the trouble of taking him in before I adopted him, if you follow the logic.
And we have raised abandoned baby birds..Mr. D. does that very well.
We volunteer the time, shelter provides the food if needed.
