Plans continue to establish St. Gertrude’s Cottage, but it will be delayed until I retire. I had hoped to retire early and establish the home. That was the plan. Life has a way of flicking plans off course. Perhaps this is good. I have been a volunteer worker for years, helping homeless cats find homes through the Kitty Save adoption program. The thought has come to me to continue that effort, but by transporting animals from one region to another, helping out the dozens of volunteers who try so gallantly to get a particular cat or dog from one location to another in order to save it.

So…I see that I am destined to take one two roles after I retire. First is to establish St. Gertrude’s Cottage and help ensure the secure futures for cats whose owners have passed away. The other is to establish a regular transportation route that runs weekly from one major city to another, creating a reliable “leg” along the journey.

Retirement is in two years. Not long!
