Volunteering at the Animal Rescue League of Des Moines (ARL) is always refreshing. You are always assigned new tasks. This week, we get to take apart the cages at the Clowder House (a housing for cats that are not ready for adoption) to “refresh” them. We would unscrew the cages, spray out any cat litter or debris trapped between the separation walls and provide the cages with a deep sanitizing with ringworm disinfectant solution. Based on the debris and stain we had to scrub, this may have been done every few years. It is a much needed procedure. We are excited that new cats will get to stay in a cleaner environment.
