Dear fellow Hanoverians:
If you have not ever met Hanover resident Joan Norris, you should. I
had the good fortune to meet Joan a few years ago thanks to “Around
Town on the Web” and a mutual love for the sport of baseball. One
conversation led to another, and I soon found myself enraptured by her
obvious talents, her devotion to our town, and her love for animals,
too.
Today, please join me in celebrating the auspicious occasion of Joan
Norris’ 11,000th cat rescue. It is a staggering number that defies
my comprehension but it somehow seems to be all in the course of a
day’s work for Joan. Joan founded The Last Resort cat rescue shelter
over 30 years ago and has inspired legions of fellow rescuers, donors,
adopters, and cat lovers.
“Our” Joan is delightfully featured in a Patriot Ledger article
today that may be found here:
http://www.patriotledger.com/blogs/goodage/x1393362748/Joan-Norris-has-rescued-cats-for-30-years
After you have read the article, I hope you will take a moment to go
through your closets, attics and basement and dig out any clean but no
longer used worn blankets and quilts. Joan has quietly requested the
assistance of Hanover “Around Town on the Web” readers for this
kindness for the kittens and cats who will appreciate them.
Go meet “Our” Joan. Bring her some old blankets for the kittens.
And congratulate her on her first 30 years of rescuing cats while you
are there. She is an icon in our town and I for one am thrilled to
know her. She may be reached at jnorrisink@verizon.net
or (781) 826-9560.
For “Around Town on the Web”,
