My husband and I adopted two kittens here a few days ago. As soon as we walked in the staff kindly…read moregreeted us and told us the layout. There were 4 rooms of kittens. They said we could get any kitten out to meet them just don't put them on the floor. We made 2 laps looking at everyone. So many sweet babies to pick from and we were looking for particular personalities. Once we picked two the staff checked the medical records to make sure they were currently due for anything before we left. Because it's currently kitten season and they have a ton of kittens, all kittens were half off. So we got two for $175. Already fixed, vaccinated, and microchipped. The facility was very clean, easy to find, and professionally ran. It was a great experience. As we left there was a family with kids that came to read books to the kittens, so sweet!

With the cooperation of community and schools, a beautiful project has expanded into a work of art, a collaborative experience that not only educates students, but connects communities and fosters relationships that can expand a lifetime. There are now 17 schools that are a part of or are affiliated with the Greenheart Project in some manner which is amazing! I had the pleasure of meeting their Operations Director, Mrs. Kim Perrineau-Jackson, during an Ag + Art Tour last summer and was amazed at what I saw. You have to go visit to see how large this space has grown. I love that businesses help to sponsor this event. Mrs. Perrineau-Jackson shared a wealth of knowledge about the project and ways that anyone can help out. One thing that I have not participating in yet, but will do one day, is attended their Farm Stand on Thursday evenings when they have veggies for sale. Give them a follow on Instagram to learn more.
