Branford Compassion Club

From nominator Judy Bute: "I would like to nominate the wonderful volunteers at the Branford Compassion Club. They all generously give of their love and time for the homeless cats and kittens in our community. They maintain a no kill shelter and many of them foster cats and kittens until they can find homes."
