Bullock County Humane Society board member, Megan Foose, has created a sanctuary for the kitties at the shelter in the form of what she calls a “Catio.” Foose’s “Labor of Love” started just before Christmas and was completed and opened on January 30, 2024. The “Catio” is for any shelter cat who has been spayed or neutered, is up to date on all of their vaccines, and has received their rabies vaccination.

Danja is our featured kitty of the week! Danja is a year and a half old, has been spayed and up to date on shots and rabies. She is one of three sisters and while she is a lovely brown tabby, her sisters Deborah and Dahlia are tortoiseshell and black. If you’re looking for a single kitty, or maybe a group of three, these girls are extremely affectionate and will come find you for their pets and rubs.

Scripture:
“Take charge! Take heart! Don’t be anxious or get discouraged. GOD, my God, is with you in this; he won’t walk off and leave you in the lurch. He’s at your side until every last detail is completed for conducting the worship of GOD” - Chronicles 28:20

If you drove past the Bullock County Hospital on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, you probably saw the pretty pink and white Mobile Mammography vehicle sitting in the Administrative Building parking lot, adjacent to BCH, located at 103 West Conecuh Ave, Union Springs. The bus is nicknamed “Joy” in honor of The Joy of Life Foundation who worked closely with the Montgomery Breast Center on the project. Joy will be available to patients in Bullock County every last Tuesday of the month.
