Shelter My Paws

Abigail Hart, a 13 year-old from Highland Park, will recruit her neighbors to foster cats from local animal shelters in order to lower the number of cats that are euthanized. She will use events to have people get to know the cats in order to choose which one they will foster. She will also have events to make cat toys and collect supplies to be used by the fostered cats. Abigail’s dad and her teacher Michelle King will serve as mentors for the project. Funding will be used for litter boxes, cat litter, catfood, vet checkups, marketing materials, and a health emergency fund.
