Many of you might be familiar with this beautiful woman! This is our leader and chief, Mabel Villalta!! 😸
Mabel and I met many years ago when (as TNR Program volunteers for Hayward Animal Services ) we were assigned (with our dear friend, Josephine Wong) to work together to clean up the out of control Feral Cat population around the South Hayward BART station! 🐾
We were a powerhouse group of women, and quickly earned the name of “Team Dixon“ by the HAS staff !!
With over 300 successful TNR cases just from this neighborhood, to this day It is an honor to continue to monitor that area and do work there on a regular basis! ( kudos to Mabel who continues this effort, even when I cannot help due to health at times).
I have helped Mabel since she started her independent rescue several years ago upon retiring. With an absolute heart of gold, She never ceases to amaze me with the tireless work she does not just for the kitties but for her local community as well!
I finally sat down and ordered this beautiful banner! Our adoption set ups will be easier to find and identify!
Here is our crazy cat lady modeling our new sign!!!
