Unfortunately, due to time constraints I was only able to go to the KSPCA an additional one time. This time we fed the animals again and were again given the opportunity to interact with the different animals. A couple of us decided to go pet the cats and play with the kittens this time instead of what we usually do which is interact with the dogs. This adventurer spirit unfortunately backfired as we accidentally went into one of the kennels that held cats with really bad worms. Luckily we didn’t touch the cats that much but after that we weren’t allowed to go into any other kennel. I feel a bit gypped as no one who knew even considered on telling us before we went in or before we touched the cats, but only decided to tell us afterwards when it was too late. We then had to be very careful not to touch our own faces and had to go wash our hands intensely so.
Overall the KSPCA service trip was a success. The trip seemed much more efficient and organised than the last service trip I did with the school. I learnt a lot about the work that the KSPCA does for abandoned and injured animals in Kenya. I actually feel inspired to continue volunteering at an animal shelter in the next place I go.
