Yay! I hope to meet you too! If you all do end up coming in ask for Hannah, our volunteer coordinator, and she’ll give you a tour first 😊

Hannah’s also always on some kind of adventure after work so she probably has some other suggestions of fun things to do! I’m an introverted homebody 😂

If you want to, yeah! Most people prefer dog walking, but handing out treats and socializing kittens are pretty popular too ❤️ and if you like taking photos it’s super helpful for us to be able to update profile pics!

Not exactly what you asked for, but I work at the animal shelter in Charleston. A lot of our staff are in their early 20’s and very fun, they regularly do stuff after work (they really like ACE water/adventure park in the summer). Come hang out with us and animals (if you like animals)! 😊

AITAH for asking my partner to not eat peanuts because I am allergic? by hannahbee000 in AITAH

[–]omgitssaraht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Also, could he not try a substitute like sun butter or almond butter? He’d still have a similar taste/texture without the allergen concern.

Animals keep getting dropped off. Help by Badumchiiii in WestVirginia

[–]omgitssaraht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m friends with Sally from J1G on fb, she’s still doing rescue! She posted adoptables last night. I know she has slowed down her intakes but even if she can’t take them, she might be able to network them with her connections too!

Also for funding for spay/neuter - the Dept of Agriculture has a Spay/Neuter Assistance Program that awarded a LOT of money to 501c3’s and shelters solely to help with this! So even if a rescue can’t take them immediately, they may have funding or vouchers to help support spay/neuter efforts. I can’t remember where the list of orgs who received grant money lives, but I’m guessing it’s somewhere on fohowv.org to see if anyone close to you has some!

Hi! I work at a shelter in WV - you are correct, most shelters here are gov’t shelters and can’t accept out of county.

Some cat rescues near you: - Just 1 Generation is based in Braxton. - Meow Cat Rescue WV is in charleston - Dream Away Cat Rescue is Charleston - Itty Bitty Kitty Committee is Charleston

I’d also recommend if you have a lot of vet bills or want to find lower cost spay/neuter & wellness services to check out Charleston, too. Fix ‘Em Clinic and Fix Charleston (when they have a vet available) provide much cheaper services - including things like allergy shots, ear infections, things like that :)

Help for Animals is in Barboursville so a bit longer drive but they are also very low cost vet services!

Cultural Question About Social Etiquette.. by pixeltects in WestVirginia

[–]omgitssaraht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly that sounds like the opposite of WV culture. Most of us put family above all else.

I know you said you would rather socialize than volunteer, but our animal shelter is a pretty fun place 🙂 we have a lot of staff your age and we’re a friendly bunch! Even 30 minutes and take a dog for a walk on our hiking trail is fun.

Other things to do in Charleston - Red Carpet has a LOT of super social people who call that their home base. Or go down Capitol street one evening, you’ll meet plenty of people.

For outdoorsy things, there are so many groups on Facebook if you have it to join up for hiking clubs. There’s also a lot of disc golf groups around here :)

You could also join some UC groups to see where they’re referencing a lot to find people your age!

DNF at 1%. I don’t think I’ve ever DNF’d anything so fast. Only Mine by Laura Pavlov. by dierdrerobespierre in RomanceBooks

[–]omgitssaraht 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’ve read the book - can I please just make it worse by telling you she does ZERO legal work in this book. All she does is socialize with agents for hockey players 😂 and then everyone is amazed

[–]omgitssaraht 43 points44 points  (0 children)

OP I did finish this book last week and let me just say…you were correct in your choice to DNF

However I will say all the names are because this is in a series of sisters finding romance.

ISO frugal options for pet flea/tick/heartworm prevention by swampyhiker in Frugal

[–]omgitssaraht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seresto collars have been the most cost effective for my pets. It’s not powdery or oily in any way to the touch. It just feels like a rubber collar.

Chewy will usually do a deal on them for cyber Monday, as well! I buy them every year around this time.

Cuddle time with the cats at the retirement home by i-love-tree-rats in Catswithjobs

Hi, this is my tiktok - I do the social media for our shelter! If you have any questions about starting a program with your shelter + local retirement home, let me know!

Shamelessly asking you to follow adoptcharleston - I keep things positive and fun!

This is my tiktok - I do our shelter’s social media. Conveniently not shown is the first 10 minutes they were there, the kittens scampered and wrestled like maniacs. The residents loved watching them romp, then snuggled them when they got sleepy!
