Beyond the purrs and playful antics, Alleycats & Aristocats works with organizations that empower individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Among them, I am Boundless is a key partner, sending a group of dedicated volunteers to work with the shelter cats. These remarkable individuals provide essential assistance in cat training, socialization, and overall care. The collaboration not only enriches the lives of the shelter cats but also offers valuable learning experiences for the volunteers. As they engage in daily activities, they gain insights into proper cat care, fostering a sense of responsibility and nurturing skills that extend beyond the shelter environment. For Jennifer Doyle, the organization’s Director, the cause hits close to home. Her 26-year-old son, Logan, who is nonverbal and on the Autism spectrum, actively contributes to the shelter’s mission.
