KERSHAW COUNTY, S.C. The Kershaw County Humane Society is calling animal lovers young and old for an adorable task - to cuddle with cats.
The organization put a request out on Facebook Saturday in an effort to gather people who might be interested. The goal of this close contact is simple: exposing the cats to people.
Volunteers would meet at least once a week at the Sandhills Petsmart Adoption Room. The group will also be responsible for keeping the space clean. This is an excellent project for a cat lover since you ll get a chance to spend time with the cats during the cleaning, the humane society said. It is also an excellent exercise for a responsible child whose parents want to teach about the responsibilities of pet ownership.

Animal advocacy and rescue organizations say they have not seen a wave of owners giving up pets adopted during the pandemic as restrictions lift and people return to their offices and social lives.
Worries about people returning pets they took in while largely confined to their homes have been rampant after news reports suggested the country was seeing a surge of owners abandoning their pets as coronavirus rules began to relax.
But overall, data and animal welfare groups say owners are largely keeping the pets they adopted during the pandemic.

A survey from 24PetWatch of almost 1,200 shelters and rescues determined that the rates of owners giving up their pets “are actually down” compared to regular levels in 2019 before the pandemic, according to Best Friends Animal Society.
