When news of a plush gray cat named Hobo celebrating her 23rd birthday at the (you guessed it!) Hobo Hotel for Cats recently spread, the world became aware of this dedicated and truly devoted, no-kill cat shelter in Lake Charles, Louisiana: http://snackfeed.com/videos/detail/e5b15d14-74dd-102c-8c08-00304897c9c6/Meow–Cat-turns-23-years-old?_s=s

While the story is entertaining and warms our hearts, the fact remains that the shelter still has an abundance of felines just as lovable and snuggable as Hobo who desperately need safe, loving homes and supplies. Even if you’re not a ‘cat lover’ – remember that all life deserves compassion and care. So if you’ve been looking for a good deed to do for the day, this is a great way to do it!
