I informed him that I have two bikes to donate and he offered to help grab the bikes. He told me that he really appreciated the donation. When I was browsing the Recycle-A-Bike website, I noticed they offer a 5 week course to rebuild a bike-Changing flat tires/patching tubes, adjusting brakes, chain and cable maintenance, tuning and alignment of the derailleur/shifting mechanisms, truing up a wheel that is out of alignment, and checking/tightening bolts/fasteners on your bike. At the end of the class, you keep the bike. How cool is that?!

From the moment I walked into the facility, I was greeted by the friendly and professional team in the cat room, who made me feel at ease and truly listened to my needs. As an experienced cat owner, I knew exactly what I was looking for in a companion, and the staff were incredibly knowledgeable and eager to match me with the right cat. The team took the time to understand my preferences--whether it was temperament, activity level, or personality--and offered a thoughtful selection of cats that would be a great fit for my home. I was impressed by their dedication to finding the best match for both the cats and their potential owners. It was clear that the team genuinely cares about the animals they work with and wants to ensure a loving, lasting relationship between pet and owner. With the help of Cathy, she found a cat that was perfect for me and my family. The process was smooth and seamless. The staff provided me with all the information I needed, from details about the cat's history to advice on transitioning them into my home. It was evident that the RISPCA's priority is not just to rehome animals, but to ensure their well-being and happiness in their new environment. Adopting a cat from the RISPCA was an incredibly rewarding experience, and I'm so grateful to the team for their expertise and care. This is my fourth adoption from the RISPCA, with my first being 19 years ago. My family is very excited to have a new feline friend in our home, we are in LOVE! I wish I could adopt all the animals, but I know all the animals are in good hands at the RISPCA. If you're considering adopting, I highly encourage you to visit and meet the fantastic team and their amazing cats!
