| Jack, on a break from installing new and improved wall inside the Feline Dorm |
Local contractor Jack Hogue donated his professional skills and precious time this past Tuesday to revamp the Feline Dorm inside the Cool Cat Neighborhood at Desert Haven Animal Refuge, the Sierra County Humane Society owned and operated no-kill domestic animal sanctuary. Once the task is completed, the walls will be covered with brand new paneling that will make the entire Feline Dorm much easier to clean. Thank you, Jack, for your generosity and for a truly fantastic job. The DHAR crew is in the process of painting the individual Kitty Condos that are part of the Feline Dorm. When the paint job is completed, the Feline dorm will look, once again, bright, cheery and inviting.

| Jim Seery at work |
James Seery, a work camper from New York State, has resided at DHAR for several months now: Thanks to much dedication and hard work on his part, many bushes and young trees planted over the past several years survived an unusually dry and cold winter. Jim’s efforts paid off as some of them are already budding. Every year, Desert Haven has been the grateful recipient of native and semi-native plants generously donated by the Sierra County Soil and Water Conservation District. This past Tuesday, the sanctuary once again benefited from the SWCD generosity. Jim took on the task of planting as many of them as possible as soon as he could. Late spring and early summer at Desert Haven are usually the most colorful seasons of the year when Desert Willows, Rosemary bushes, Birds of Paradise, Desert Brooms and Texas Sages, lovingly planted by nature loving folks over the years, are all in full bloom.
We remind our animal loving friends who donate items to our cause through Paws & Claws Thrift Shoppe adjacent to Family Dollar in TorC, to please wait until P&C is open for business before dropping off their donations. Unsavory individuals are making a habit of taking what is not theirs and our thrift shop is no exception. The Police are aware of the situation and we have been advised to let everyone who witnesses any suspicious activity outside of business hours, to please immediately contact the TCPD at 894-7111. TCPD Chief Gallagher has assured our organization that any call regarding theft or possible theft at P&C, including shoplifting, will be taken seriously and followed through. Providing the vehicle license number or description of the vehicle involved is also recommended.
